in the Georgia House of Representatives for the first time in over 130
years, he was elected by his fellow caucus members to the position of
Majority Whip. As the Majority Whip, he holds the second highest
position in the House Republican Caucus and is an Ex-Officio voting

the Committees on Appropriations, Rules, Judiciary and Transportation,
Rep. Fleming also serves on the Ethics Committee as part of his House
leadership duties.

of 2002 to the Georgia House of Representatives from Columbia County.

his service during that legislative session, Rep. Fleming was awarded the
Champion for Georgia’s Cities Award from the Georgia Municipal
Association, the Legislative Leadership Award from the Georgia Hospital
Association and the Family Service Award from the Georgia Family
Council.
