Sanford Bishop: “Ladies and gentlemen of the House, the Honorable Kwanza Hall is a native of Atlanta, attended Atlanta public schools…”

“Ladies and gentlemen of the House, the Honorable Kwanza Hall is a native of Atlanta, attended Atlanta public schools, and attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He worked for the Fulton County Government. He was vice president of technology for GoodWorks International, and he is currently director of business development at Mactech Engineering. In 2002, he was elected to the Atlanta Board of Education. In 2005, he was elected to the Atlanta City Council, District Two, where he served three consecutive terms. Following the death of our beloved colleague, Congressman John Lewis, Kwanza qualified to run in the special election to fill the unexpired term of Congressman Lewis, which was held on November 3. There were several candidates, but none received the required majority under Georgia law. On December 1, Kwanza won the runoff special election. His election means that the people of the Fifth Congressional District of Georgia, in Atlanta, will be represented and have a voice during this lameduck session of the 116th Congress as we debate and, hopefully, enact, among other things, the FY 2021 appropriations bill funding the operations of the Federal Government and much-needed COVID-19 relief for America's families, businesses, and our State and local governments. He is married to Fulton County Commissioner Natalie Hall, and they have two sons. Madam Speaker, I yield to my colleague from the Seventh District of Georgia, the Honorable Rob Woodall.”
