GA State Rep Shea Roberts

I always enjoy my time on LawMakers! Thanks for having me.

Last night’s story in Georgia is a story about voters reclaiming our power. GYJC knocked on 132,491 doors to educate folks on the Public Service Commission race.

In Fayette, Houston, & Paulding County–communities long written off as unwinnable–GYJC showed up and changed what’s possible in Georgia.

When we organize, we win.
When we show up, we change what’s possible.
When we lead with courage, Georgia turns out.

Last night’s victory was proof that when we fight for each other in Georgia, we can never lose.

Here’s what many folks can’t tell you today because the NY Times and the Associated Press didn’t even cover our election results last night: 22 counties that voted for Donald Trump in 2024 just voted for Alicia Johnson last night.

Last Friday, I toured Trilith Live Music’s production rehearsal and live music venue! 🎶 Georgia already leads in film; now we can do the same for music. It feeds our souls, creates jobs & drives revenue. Let’s build a Georgia Music Office & keep talent here! 🍑 #GAHouse #CreativeArts

Equality isn’t a privilege. It’s a right. Today we honor the women who fought for it—and recommit to carrying the torch. 🔥 #WomensEqualityDay

Wishing all DeKalb & Fulton families a great first day back! 📚✏️ Here’s to a happy, healthy & productive school year for our students, parents, teachers & administrators. #BackToSchool #GAHouse52

Honored to celebrate 30 years of @GAEquality tonight. Their work is vital. I dream of the day when we no longer have to fight—when every Georgian is free to be and love who they want. #GAEquality #LGBTQRights #loveislove

Three years after Dobbs, Georgia's abortion law is far from settled • Georgia Recorder Tuesday marks three years since Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling, was overturned. In Georgia, the battle over abortion access is still being waged.

Three years later, debate over abortion limits in Georgia is far from settled. I know I’m going to keep fighting for every Georgian to have an abundance of freedom, including the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions. #abortionishealthcare #nobans georgiarecorder.com/2025/06/24/t...

Please join me in supporting Senator Jason Esteves for Governor! secure.actblue.com/donate/je6.2...
He’s not only the best person for the job — he can win! Showing his momentum on the 6/30 fundraising deadline is vital! If you can’t make it, donate anyway. Jason will be a game changer for GA!

Wishing all the mothers —especially mine — a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with joy and love.

And thank you to my children for giving me the gift of loving you. 💕 #mothersday

The rule of law is being undermined from within The rule of law in America is under threat as the Executive Branch disregards constitutional constraints. The consequences are dangerous and damaging to democracy.

To President Zelensky, From an Embarrassed American Dear President Zelensky,

Dear President Zelensky,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

Opinion: Victims of sex trafficking would lose again under ‘tort reform’ Where government resources are inadequate, civil suits bring change.

“Tort reform” as currently proposed by Gov Kemp will hurt victims and there is no corresponding guarantee rates will come down. In fact, we can’t find one where rates have gone down. Meanwhile, insurance companies report $90billion+ profits for 2023 and 2024.

At GMA breakfast, GA Lt Governor just referred to Appalachee school shooting as a “tragic accident”!! That’s such an insult to the 2 students and 2 teachers who lost their lives, their families & all students & staff who were traumatized by this tragic but NOT accidental shooting. #factsmatter

Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Already Rearrested on Gun Charges A Jan. 6 rioter charged with lobbing an explosive device at police was arrested shortly after having his case dismissed under Trump's mass pardon.

If you aren’t condemning Trump’s pardon of these criminals who attacked law enforcement protecting the Nation’s Capitol, don’t you dare say you back the blue. #gapol www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” It’s fitting that MLK Day fell today so we could focus on honoring the man who dedicated his life to justice, equality & love. Choose light & love today.

I’m so grateful to you, President Biden and VP Harris, for your leadership these last 4 yrs. You brought dignity back to our country’s highest offices. While tomorrow brings many of us anxiety, you did your part. I wish you and your families peace & happiness as you transition to your next chapter.

We received our committee assignments. I'm thrilled to return to my previous committees and add a new one - Creative Arts and Entertainment! Georgia's film, art, and music industry is extraordinary and I'm looking forward to supporting all those hardworking folks who make the magic happen.

It's official! Thank you HD52 for giving me the honor of serving another term in the Georgia State House. I'm ready to get to work for you! #HD52

Today the Georgia General Assembly is back in Session!

We hope you will engage in the process with us. Visit us at the Capitol, tune into my social media, and subscribe to the weekly Roberts' Report at www.sheaforgeorgia.com to keep up with all the happenings under the Gold Dome!

It was an honor to join my colleagues to pay our respects to President Carter as he stopped in front of the Capitol today on his way to lay in state at the Carter Center. #gapol

2025 brings new possibilities! Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year!!

President Jimmy Carter personified public service, having dedicated his entire life to helping others. Georgia, this country and the world have been better because of him. My sincere condolences to the Carter family. May the loss be tempered by knowing he's been reunited w/ his beloved Rosalyn. #RIP
