Rep. Mike Dudgeon To Seek Third Term in the Georgia House

State Rep. Mike Dudgeon has announced he will seek reelection in District 25 of the Georgia House of Representatives.

"It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Forsyth County and North Fulton in the legislature since 2011," Dudgeon said in a press release. "I am looking forward to using my growing experience with education, business and energy policy to work for our district and the state." 

Dudgeon is chairman of the Academic Support subcommittee of House Education. He also is a member of the Energy, Utility and Telecommunications committee; the Small Business committee; and the Science and Technology committee.  

He has passed major legislation in both the education and energy policy areas, and is a constant champion of more tax reform and stopping unnecessary spending.  

In his two terms in the legislature, Dudgeon's voting record has been recognized through high ratings on scorecards by the American Conservative Union, Americans For Prosperity, the Georgia Chamber and others.

"In the next session of the General Assembly I want to work on reducing top down bureaucratic control of the schools from the state, promoting digital learning and making Georgia's environment the very best for attracting business," Dudgeon said. "Each year of my service I have had a repeal bill of some type, and I also plan to continue that into the future."

District 25, which Dudgeon currently represents, includes almost all of south Forsyth County east of GA 400 and south of GA 20. It also includes parts of Johns Creek in the Jones Bridge and Sargent Road areas.  

Dudgeon resides in South Forsyth with his wife of 21 years Lori and his sons Matthew 15, and Daniel, 14. His oldest son, Brandon, is a freshman at Georgia Tech.  

When not at the Gold Dome he is vice president for Research at Hi-Rez Studios in Alpharetta.
