Georgia Lawmaker Steps Down

A state representative is stepping down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly.

Marcus Wiedower, a Republican from Watkinsville, announced his resignation on Tuesday after six years in the House. The reason for his resignation is the rapid growth of the company he works for, which will require more travel and take him away from the Capitol during the legislative session.

While I’m stepping away from elected office, I look forward to remaining actively involved in our community and continuing to help tackle Georgia’s most pressing challenges, especially attainable housing through my work at Hillpointe.

The company, Hillpointe, is a real estate development and investment management firm headquartered in Winter Park, Florida. Wiedower joined the company six years ago as the lone external affairs employee and has seen it expand to operate in multiple states.

This resignation brings the total number of! vacancies in the House and Senate to four.
