Legislative Town Hall Tomorrow

Join Senator Elena Parent and me tomorrow to discuss the legislative session and issues affecting our district. You can submit questions in advance at http://bit.ly/4rOCd6I.

The DeKalb Delegation in the State House

Georgia’s state and county governments operate in a shared system: the state sets the legal framework, and counties identify local needs and ask for state‑level action when an issue can’t be solved locally. Many of DeKalb’s priorities fall into that joint‑action space — from improving enforcement of housing standards, to making sure annexation rules are fair, to tackling environmental challenges like persistent tire dumping.  Those of us representing DeKalb districts at the Capitol meet regularly with our county‑level colleagues so we can move these priorities forward together. If you’d like to stay up to date on our collaborative efforts, you can sign up for weekly updates here and/or follow us on facebook here.

Get in Touch

There are several ways you can share your concerns, request assistance, or let me know about activities in our neighborhoods.  

The best way to get in touch is through the contact us form on my website. But, you can also reach me by calling the office (404-656-0265), sending an email to saira.draper@house.ga.gov, or visiting the Capitol. My office is 604-D in the Coverdell Legislative Office Building across the street from the Capitol.

Yours in service,

Voting information for people with disabilities

Information about the upcoming Elections

The November 3, 2026 elections will be critical for Georgia’s future. Review the Democrats running for statewide office, and remember to vote all the way down your ballot. Supporting the statewide candidates AND your local representatives is crucial. Flipping a chamber would allow us to pass meaningful legislation that helps hardworking Georgians. It would also allow us to push back against likely efforts to redraw maps this December.

What you can do now

  • Confirm your voter registration and make any necessary updates by October 5.
  • Make a plan to vote—and encourage your friends and family to do the same. I strongly recommend voting early in person if possible. Early voting offers flexibility (you may vote at any early voting site in your county), helps avoid long lines, provides time to resolve issues, and reduces the risk of encountering disruptions at your polling place.
  • There is good additional voting guidance at the Democratic Party of Georgia website.
  • Voters with disabilities can find excellent information on voting rights, accessibility tools, and available resources at REV UP Georgia.

If you can do more

Volunteers are urgently needed. You can serve as a poll worker, poll watcher, or support the Voter Protection Hotline. Learn more about voter protection volunteering.

If you have concerns or questions, call the Voter Protection Hotline at 888-730-5816.
