Sen. Frank Ginn Receives Award at Winder City Council Meeting

Sen. Frank Ginn, who represents District 47 in the Georgia State Senate, has received a Champion of Georgia's Cities Legislative Award from the Georgia Municipal Association. 

Ginn, a Republican, is one of eight legislators to receive the award. 

"His efforts were instrumental is defending cities on more than a few occasions. Every time I turned around he was asking, 'How will this impact my local government?'" said Ashley Meggitt with the Georgia Municipal Association, who presented the award during the July 3, 2012, meeting of the Winder City Council. "He continues to serve the citizens he represents valiantly at the Capitol." 

Ginn received a framed historical photo of Winder Fire Department staff members from 1909. 

"I’m just proud to be a background guy and work as a partner for the local government here and the city," Ginn said. "It is an honor to serve y’all in the 47^th."
