MEET SEN. HALPERN
It is my honor to represent you in the Georgia State Senate.
With a background that includes business and community service, I have seen firsthand the impact of bad public policy. Time and time again, I have found myself putting in the work around issues of access, equity and opportunity.
As your State Senator, I care deeply about making sure that everyone in my district and across the state of Georgia can have a better life.
Better education. Better healthcare access. Better economic opportunities.
In Georgia - a place with so much to offer and a history of setting powerful examples for the rest of the country - we can and must do better.
I am committed to finding real solutions to the problems we face. Thank you for trusting me to be your voice under the Gold Dome.
Senator Sonya Halpern
Georgia Senate District 39

Our restaurants are more than places to dine—they are pillars of culture, creativity, and opportunity across our state.
I’m proud to stand alongside those who continue to pour into this industry with passion and resilience. Your impact is felt far beyond the table.

At our town hall, I had the opportunity to connect directly with the people I’m proud to serve across Georgia. Your voices, your concerns, and your ideas continue to shape the work I do every single day under the Gold Dome.
My commitment remains clear: to advocate for policies that strengthen our communities, invest in our future, and ensure every resident feels seen, heard, and represented. This is more than a role—it’s a responsibility I carry with purpose and pride.
Together, we’re building a stronger district and a stronger Georgia.

I had the pleasure of welcoming the Upper Austrian Parliamentary Delegation to the Georgia State Capitol recently. It was a meaningful opportunity to share insights on the relationship between federal and state government, our legislative session, and key budget priorities.
These exchanges strengthen collaboration and help us learn from one another as we work toward progress that reaches beyond borders..

My sweet daughter, Sloane and her partner, brought home 1st place in Audio Production in her grade group at the statewide Georgia Student Technology Competition—and I couldn’t be more proud.
Watching her creativity, discipline, and confidence shine reminds me why we work so hard to invest in education and opportunity for every child across Georgia. The future is bright, and she’s just getting started. 💕

Thank you to Councilmember Andrea Boone and the City of Atlanta for hosting such a meaningful gathering, and to Mayor Andre Dickens for bringing greetings and continuing to support spaces that uplift women’s voices and leadership.
Moments like these remind us that when women lead, communities thrive. Happy Women’s History Month! ✨💐

As a proud member of the Georgia State Senate, I believe our policies and our progress must reflect the real experiences of women and families in our communities. From healthcare and employment to affordable housing and more, tonight’s town hall is about listening, sharing solutions, and making sure every voice is heard. ✔️
I’m grateful to join this conversation during Women’s History Month and to stand alongside leaders and community members who are committed to empowering women of all ages across Atlanta.

No other major airport in this country pays property taxes like this — not one. When we alter the cost structure of an airport of this magnitude, the consequences extend far beyond Atlanta. They impact workers, travelers, small businesses, and Georgia’s global competitiveness.
We must protect the economic engine that fuels our state, not weaken it.
#StopHB942 #SmallBusiness #GeorgiaEconomy #SonyaHalpern #Sonya4GA


Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is a critical economic engine for our region, supporting thousands of jobs and small businesses that rely on the opportunities it creates. Proposals like HB 942 threaten that stability and the economic pathways so many Georgians depend on.
NO OTHER MAJOR AIRPORT IN THIS COUNTRY PAYS PROPERTY TAX. Protecting our airport means protecting our workers, entrepreneurs, and the future of Georgia’s economy.

This legislation strengthens and clarifies court procedures, particularly in cases where a defendant has not formally responded. SB 532 ensures notice requirements are applied appropriately while reinforcing the courts’ ability to keep cases moving efficiently.
By closing gaps in default judgment procedures, SB 532 promotes fairness, consistency, and greater reliability in Georgia’s judicial system. Onward to the next step.
