Press release, WASHINGTON, D.C., 12/7/2023 – The Republican Governors Association (RGA) today announced Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has been elected to serve as RGA Chair, and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp will serve as RGA Vice Chair for 2024.

I’m looking forward to working with him in the effort.”
