Georgia Film Industry Advocate Speaker David Ralston Passes

Today we are saddened to report the passing of Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, David Ralston, long an advocate of the Georgia film industry.

For more than 12 years Speaker Ralston has been a stalwart supporter of Georgia’s film industry and the jobs that it has provided our members. He helped shape, strengthen, and protect Georgia’s film tax incentive.

“I am excited by the success of this industry. As long as I sit in that office, there will be no bigger fan of that tax credit and this industry than I am.”

House Speaker David Ralston, Atlanta Journal Constitution, 15 March 2017

Please join us in offering our most sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.
