Rep. Matt Dollar announced his resignation from the Georgia House of Representatives.

The resignation comes after he accepted a position as deputy commissioner of economic development for the Technical College System of Georgia.

Dollar previously announced he would not seek reelection after his District 45 seat was drawn into another district during last year’s redistricting process.

Gov. Brian Kemp is expected to set a special election date for the remainder of the term before the new district maps go into effect for the general election in November.
