Gov. Nathan Deal today named Rep. Christian A. Coomer (R-Cartersville) as the new state House floor leader. Coomer will join Rep. Amy Carter (R-Valdosta) and Rep. Matt Hatchett (R-Dublin) as the third administrative floor leader for Deal.

I look forward to doing my part to ensure Georgia remains the best place in the world to work, live and raise a family.”
