This is a good time to tell you if you don\u2019t know, you can go listen and learn and just hang out in the gallery during most session hours! YOU SHOULD TRY IT! It\u2019s interesting and weird and it\u2019s good to show yourself and others that you belong there as much as our reps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, unfortunately there\u2019s only a few days left in session for 2025. (Wild right?) However! I got out there yesterday and sat up in the gallery to sketch this out and get it started! I need more time and alas, I think I\u2019ll be working from pictures mostly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do I care? It\u2019s being remodeled after this legislative session. No further details on that have been shared with me. I just think shared community grief should be felt out-loud. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ive worked to get more active under the dome (GA Capitol Building) this past year.
