transportation, health care, the environment, the economy and the needs of North Georgia," said House Speaker Terry Coleman, D-Eastman. "The voters of the 8th have made a wise choice for 
their representative. I look forward to working with Rep. Jenkins who will without question do 
an outstanding job serving the people of Georgia."
