DECATUR, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- State Representative Mary Margaret Oliver received a 2026 "Champion of Georgia's Cities Award" from the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) in recognition of her support for Georgia's cities during the 2025–2026 session of the Georgia General Assembly. The award was presented on Monday, November 2, during a Decatur City Commission Meeting.
The "Champion of Georgia's Cities Award" is presented at the end of each two-year legislative term to state legislators who have demonstrated strong support for major municipal initiatives and priorities.
During the 2025-2026 legislative session, Rep. Oliver was a consistent champion for Georgia's cities on housing policy. Her work addressed issues related to delinquent property ownership and the role of corporate entities in the housing market. She also pushed for sound zoning and land use policy, helping ensure the perspectives of local governments were considered throughout the legislative process.
