State Representative B.J. Pak Will Seek Re-election to the Georgia General Assembly

The legislator currently represents District 102, located in Gwinnett County.

Rep. B.J. Pak (R-Lilburn) announced today that he would seek re-election to the Georgia House of Representatives. The newly configured House District 108, the vast majority of which Pak currently represents, encompasses the City of Lilburn, and unincorporated portions of Lilburn, Norcross, Mountain Park, and Stone Mountain.

After the 2010 census, the district was redrawn slightly last year to account for the population growth in Gwinnett County,and the state.

"It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to represent the people of House District 102," Pak said in a press release. "The Legislature addressed several major issues over the last two years, but there's much more we can do on jobs, education, and crime.
