ABOUT ME
Representative Lydia Glaize
ROOTS AND RESILIENCE
MY JOURNEY TO ADVOCACY
I am Representative Lydia Glaize, a proud mother of seven, with deep roots tracing back to my family of sharecroppers from Georgia and Alabama. As the current House Representative for District 67, I have been a a relentless advocate for impactful change.
With a deep commitment to my constituents, my tenure is marked by legislative achievements and a steadfast dedication to addressing pivotal issues such as economic stability, healthcare accessibility, and quality education.
In the 2025–2026 session, I helped pass the Early Literacy Act and the Dream Scholarship, delivered historic property tax relief for homeowners, and — alongside Rep. Oliver — pressed to close the $85.7M foster care shortfall, restoring services for Georgia's foster children. This work reflects my unwavering commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I serve.
SERVING DISTRICT 67
MY LEGISLATIVE PATH
In 2023, I was honored to assume office as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives for District 67, following my victory in the November 8, 2022, general election. In this role, I serve on the Appropriations, Education (K-12), Higher Education, and Information and Audits Committees, and I chair Education for both the Fulton County Delegation and the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus. These assignments are a testament to my commitment to shaping impactful public policy, particularly in education, the state budget, and governance — both in our district and across the state. In the 2025–2026 session, that work meant funding literacy coaches in every K–3 classroom, expanding Pre-K and need-based scholarships, and helping restore child-welfare services for foster children across Georgia.
VISION FOR TOMORROW
My Commitment To You
My mission as your representative is centered on three key pillars: educational recovery, economic empowerment, and environmental sustainability.
I am dedicated to advocating for effective educational recovery strategies, ensuring our public schools are fully funded, and expanding opportunities for apprenticeships. My focus on economic development is rooted in supporting a living wage and fostering regional economic growth through job creation and entrepreneurship. Environmental sustainability is also a crucial aspect of my work, where I aim to ensure safe practices in our local landfills and protect our waterways.
Together, we can create a brighter future for our district, one that is grounded in education, economic prosperity, and environmental responsibility.
