We should be careful not to replace laws that work with laws that merely sound good.

About

Community, Service, and Trust- Three values Lee Hawkins was raised with right here in Gainesville, Georgia. As the proud son of BL and Evelyn Hawkins, Lee graduated from Gainesville High School, Emory University and then Emory School of Dentistry. After graduating, Lee returned to Gainesville to open his family-owned dental practice, and for 42 years, he has been taking care of some of Hall Counites' best smiles.

Lee was raised to believe in service to others in your community. For years he volunteered and served as President of the GDA, a member of the board for Northeast Georgia Medical Center, and saw patients at the Good News Dental Clinic. In 2006 Lee decided to serve all the citizens of Hall County and started his political career. He has proudly served in the Georgia State Senate and now in the Georgia House of Representatives. For the past fourteen years, he has fought for all people in Hall County and passed legislation that focused on Veteran issues, medical surprise billing, and improved medical standards.

As a husband, father, and grandfather, Lee cares about making sure strong family values are preserved and will continue to fight to make those values heard at the State Capital. The commitment to earn and maintain the trust of his constituents is the foundation of his desire to serve.
