Representative Glaize’s unwavering commitment to education, community outreach, and sustainable solutions has positioned her as an influential figure, particularly in the areas of youth, education, and seniors.

Representative Glaize was appointed as the Education Chair for the General Assembly in the Fulton County Delegation and Education Chair of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, where she had a significant and transformative influence on the educational landscape in the state. Through active participation in pivotal bills and committee votes, she has championed initiatives to access higher education in high demand careers, address mental health concerns, and promote workforce and economic development. Notable among her accomplishments are her contributions to HB 538, HB 668 and HB 527, bills aimed at improving education quality in Georgia.  She also co-sponsored HB 378, which takes significant strides towards tackling mental health challenges in schools. Recently, Rep.

In addition to her current role as a House Representative, Lydia Glaize has made significant contributions as an elected official in the City of Fairburn.

Her approach matches students with pathways to college and careers including Military Academies, colleges, career choices and apprenticeship programs.

During the summer of 2023 she developed and championed a summer reading rewards pilot program.  Two of the lower performing schools in the county (Liberty Point and Palmetto Elementary) participated and ended up being ranked the top 1 and 2 summer reading programs in Fulton County.  This achievement was a testament to her tireless support and advocacy for the children of Fulton County.

Representative Glaize was also invited this summer, as one of 41 State Legislators, to participate in a round table discussion at the White House on affordable, high quality childcare as well as pay equity for workers and subsidies for their employers.
