The Georgia Federation of Public Service Employees actively monitors legislation that may impact our members and state funding impacting our agencies’ services and programs. We work closely with state legislators to ensure sufficient funding at the local level exists to support our members and the critical programs they provide the communities we serve.
The Georgia Federation of Public Service Employees is nonpartisan. We work with republicans and democrats alike to ensure they understand and support issues important to public service employees. Our members come from all political stripes and live in urban, rural, suburban and farm communities across Georgia. Our members reflect the diversity of Georgia and our legislative policies reflect the interest of our members relative to their public service. The Georgia Federation of Public Service Employees focuses on the issues and not simply political parties.
By contributing just $3 to $8 a month to our Political Action Committee, you can help make sure that public employees have a voice in the services we provide and our concerns are respected.
If you would like to join our Legislative/Political Committee, please contact us at info@GeorgiaFPSE.com.

Our benefits and working environment are almost always in direct proportion to our political action and participation at the ballot box. It is important that we elected officials that share our views and values as public servants.” – Maudray Giles
