Georgia is sending 76 delegates and 73 alternates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, along with many of the state's top politicians and operatives.
Donald Trump coasted to a victory in Georgia's March primary and much of the party has united behind the billionaire since he locked up the nomination.
Yet some supporters of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and other Trump rivals hold out hope they can block his coronation, and many of their supporters won delegate slots at a round of votes in April.
Only a handful of politicians will be headed to Ohio as delegates, but Gov. Nathan Deal and Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue are among the GOP officials planning to attend as guests.
You'll find a list below of the 76 delegates headed to Cleveland below along with a brief bio. We will keep updating this page, so please let us know in the comments or by email if you have anything to add.
