The Georgia Chamber of Commerce announced its 2026 Legislator of the Year award recipients.
The recipients are considered trusted partners of the Chamber who went above and beyond during the legislative session to advance the Chamber’s priorities.
State Sen. Sonya Halpern, D-Atlanta, earned the 2026 Georgia Chamber Senator of the Year award. State Rep. Bruce Williamson, R-Monror, received the 2026 Georgia Chamber Representative of the Year award. State Rep.

Halpern expressed her gratitude to the Chamber for the award and their partnership during her tenure.
“Throughout my time in public service, I’ve come to appreciate that Georgia’s success is built through partnership.
