Northwest Georgia Republicans continue clash over the state's mental health care system

Chattanooga Times Free Press - 5/4/2023

May 3—Republican state House members from Northwest Georgia are pushing back on a resolution from the 14th District GOP convention "admonishing" the lawmakers for supporting General Assembly legislation aimed at improving access to mental health care in the Peach State.

The 14th district is made up of the Northwest Georgia counties of Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Gordon, Murray, Polk, Walker and a portion of both Cobb and Paulding counties.

Along with expressing disappointment toward 11 District 14 House members who voted for the bill, the resolution also expressed gratitude to Mitchell Horner, R-Ringgold, for voting against it.
