David Shafer began serving the Georgia Senate in 2002. On January 14, 2013, his fellow Senators unanimously elected him the 68th President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Today, he represents the people of the 48th Senate District while serving as the Senate President Pro Tempore.
David believes efficiency and accountability in government are vital. Upon his election as President Pro Tempore of The Senate, David immediately took steps to improve the way The Senate manages legislation. This effort resulted in shorter Legislative Sessions that operate smoothly and cost taxpayers less money.
In addition to his duties as Senate President Pro Tempore, Senator Shafer is also vice chair of the Senate Insurance and Labor Committee and a member of the Senate Appropriations, Health and Human Services and Reapportionment and Redistricting Committees. He is an ex-officio member of the Senate Regulated Industries and Utilities and Rules Committees.
His time in the legislature has proven he is a leader not only in the State Senate, but also throughout the entire state. Senator Shafer was the Executive Director of the Georgia Republican Party in the early 1990′s. In 1996, Republican Voters of Georgia nominated him as the Republican candidate in a special statewide election for Secretary of State. His campaign’s central platform was fighting voter fraud, and his centerpiece idea—requiring voters to show identification when voting—was passed into law in 1997.
Senator Shafer is a business owner and investor. He has previously served on the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. David is involved in the community. He has served terms as vice chairman of the Gwinnett County Library System Board of Trustees and as a member on the former Gwinnett-Forsyth Regional Library System Board of Trustees. He has also served on the Board of Directors for both the United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Atlanta and the Partnership Against Domestic Violence (formerly Georgia Council on Battered Women).
Raised in DeKalb County, Senator Shafer was educated in DeKalb County Public Schools. He is a graduate of The University of Georgia and serves on the Board of Directors of the National Alumni Association of The University of Georgia. He has made Gwinnett County his home since graduating from college. He lives in Duluth with his wife Lee and daughter Ellie. His stepson J.W. attends the University of Georgia. The Shafers are members of Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church.
