Thank you for visiting my website! It is an honor to serve as State Representative because making a difference in other people’s lives matters to me. Passing legislation is about generating respect and trust, managing expectations, and fostering relationships over time. Our district has a strong position at the Capitol and my knowledge of the legislative process is valuable to the progress of the state. People want to see action and I will fight to continue delivering solutions.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if I can ever be of assistance. I believe that citizen involvement is the cornerstone of democracy. As such, I greatly appreciate hearing from constituents regarding their thoughts and concerns. Once again thank you for allowing me to serve you in the Georgia General Assembly. I look forward to hearing from you.

DISTRICT 45 INFORMATION
Representative Sharon Cooper represents Georgia’s 45th district which is located primarily in East Cobb County, the third largest county in the state of Georgia.
Thank you to all of our sponsors for the Georgia Council for Recovery’s 8th Annual Recovery Month Lunch Celebration. I was deeply honored to be recognized for my work on Georgia’s “Don’t Run, Call 911” legislation, which I helped pass in 2014.The legislation was created to help save lives by encouraging young people to call 911 when someone is experiencing a drug overdose without allowing fear of being charged for their own drug use to prevent them from seeking help. It also helped make the lifesaving overdose-reversal medication Narcan more widely available across Georgia.The Georgia Overdose Prevention group, founded by a mother and a nurse who worked alongside me on this legislation, recently shared an extraordinary milestone: based solely on individuals who contacted the organization to report that Narcan they provided had been used to save someone, more than 16,800 lives have been saved. The true number is undoubtedly much greater.The recognition was especially meaningful because the award was named in memory of Zack, Robin’s son, one of the young people whose life was lost to an overdose. His story—and the stories of so many families—remind us why this work mattered then and continues to matter today.I am incredibly grateful to have played a role in legislation that has given thousands of Georgians another chance at life. Sixteen thousand eight hundred lives—and counting—is a legacy far greater than any award. ... See MoreSee Less
