What the Georgia governor does
Georgia's governor is the state's chief executive, executes state laws, proposes budgets, makes authorized appointments, and may sign or veto legislation.
Shared authority: The governor shares authority with the General Assembly, independently elected officers, agencies, courts, and local governments. An outcome during an administration is not automatically the governor's personal action.
How FactVote presents the public record: FactVote includes only official orders, appointments, vetoes, signed actions, legal filings, or direct statements explicitly attributed to the governor.
