Eric Gisler was sworn in on Thursday as the Georgia State Representative for House District 121. Superior Court Judge Lisa Lott presided over the ceremony which took place in the Oconee County Courthouse. The district includes most of Oconee County and the eastern part of Athens-Clarke County.
Gisler, a Democrat, won a Special Election held on December 9, 2025. That election was called to fill the vacancy left when former representative Marcus Wiedower resigned in October. He defeated challenger Mack “Dutch” Guest IV.
Gisler’s election in the seat long held by republicans, drew national attention.
