New Ga. House member to meet with residents in DeKalb, Rockdale

Newly elected state Rep. Doreen Carter is holding two community listening sessions before the 2016 session of the Georgia General Assembly begins next month.

Carter, D-Lithonia, said she wants to hear from residents about the needs of their communities.

Carter won a special election Nov. 3 to represent 54,000 residents in House District 92, which covers parts of DeKalb and Rockdale counties.

The community meetings will be held Dec. 14 at Lithonia City Hall at 7 p.m. and Dec. 17 at the Conyers-Rockdale Library at 6:30 p.m.
