Rep. Chuck Martin stays at helm of Southern Legislative Conference's Energy & Environment Committee.

State Rep. Chuck Martin, R-Alpharetta, has been reelected as chairman of the Southern Legislative Conference's (SLC) Energy and Environment Committee.

"I believe a well thought out and balanced energy policy is essential to America's future; a predictable energy supply will spur our nation's economy and provide a basis for American businesses to create jobs in our region and throughout the United States as a whole."

Martin won his reelection for this regional leadership position during SLC's 65th Annual Meeting, which was held in Memphis, TN, earlier this summer.
