Sen. Kenya Wicks Announces Nomination to Serve on National Conference of State Legislatures’ Women’s Legislative Network

ATLANTA (November 11, 2026) — Sen. Kenya Wicks (D–Fayette), member of the Senate Committee on Veterans, Military and Homeland Security, has been selected to serve as a Southern regional representative on the Executive Board of the National Conference of State Legislatures’ (NCSL) Women’s Legislative Network.

The nomination was extended by Senate President Pro Tempore Larry Walker, III (R–Perry), who cited Sen. Wicks’ combination of military, legislative and executive experience. He also referenced Sen. Wicks’ current leadership as Co-Chair of the Georgia Women’s Caucus and Deputy Whip of the Senate Democratic Caucus.

“I am honored to represent Georgia and serve alongside female legislators from across the country,” said Sen. Wicks. “Throughout my 30 years of service in the United States Army, I have learned that strong leadership is rooted in serving others and being willing to learn. Women bring irreplaceable perspectives and experiences to public service. We are witnessing a new chapter in women’s representation unfold before us, and I am ready to work alongside my colleagues at the national level to strengthen opportunities for women in public office. Every woman deserves to know that her voice matters.”

NCSL’s Women’s Legislative Network is a professional development organization that includes every female state legislator in the 50 United States, its territories and the District of Columbia. The organization promotes the participation, empowerment and leadership of women legislators and is a core program of the NCSL Foundation for State Legislatures.
