First elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1996, Representative Bobby Franklin (R-Marietta) represents the 43rd District.

Representative Franklin is Vice Chairman of the Information & Audits Committee and the Vice Chairman of the Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Committee. He also serves as a member of the Banks & Banking and Judiciary (Non-Civil) Committees. He previously served on the Natural Resources and Environment and the Special Judiciary Committees.

A graduate of Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, Representative Franklin earned a degree in both Biblical Studies and Business Administration. Bobby is an active member of the Reformed Presbyterian Church.

Representative Franklin’s private sector experience as corporate controller, CFO, and business analyst enable him to bring sound business and fiscal principles to government. He has a record of consistently advocating for reducing the tax burden on Georgia citizens.

Representative Franklin has been called "the conscience of the Republican Caucus" because he believes that civil government should return to its biblically and constitutionally defined role.
