Mission & Purpose

Georgia on my Mind is not just the state song --  it's the Governor's job description. Consisting of the Governor, his Cabinet, and various executive agencies, Georgia's Executive branch is responsible for implementing policy and enforcing legislation on the statewide level. The Governor's Cabinet includes the Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and the Attorney General, in addition to a number of other elected officials. As the chief official in the executive branch, the Governor is vested with a number of powers and duties in the government scheme including proposing new programs and state laws, proposing a state budget, signing or vetoing legislation, and appointing members of various state boards.
