Senator Jason Anavitarte has been elected Majority Leader of the Georgia State Senate by the Georgia Senate Republican Caucus. He will serve as the lead legislative strategist for the caucus during the 2025–2026 legislative biennium.
In a statement from the official Georgia State Senate Press Office press release, Anavitarte said, “I am deeply honored by the trust my colleagues have placed in me. The people of Georgia, and the 31st Senate District, elected a Republican majority to lead boldly, govern responsibly, and protect our values. I come from a blue-collar family, and I carry those roots with me every day. Hardworking Georgians across West Georgia and beyond are counting on us, and I intend to meet this moment with focus, discipline, and a commitment to improving lives across our state. As we move through the remainder of the legislative interim, I’m ready to get to work”
Anavitarte previously served as Majority Caucus Chair and has been a member of the Georgia Senate since 2021. His legislative focus includes school choice, public safety, support for teachers, child welfare, and tax cuts.
Representing the 31st Senate District, Anavitarte has held previous roles on the Doraville City Council and the Paulding County Board of Education. He is also one of the youngest Hispanic officials elected in Georgia.
