This series consists of papers relating to Rodney Cook's service in the Georgia General Assembly. He considered candidacy in 1964 and was elected as a representative-at-large from Fulton County in 1965, re-elected in 1966, 1968, and 1970. Cook's work in the Assembly often overlapped with his duties as alderman, and an investigation of the Alderman series is recommended. The files are arranged alphabetically by subject and include Cook's support of the seating of Julian Bond, the 1971 special session for redistricting, transportation, sales taxes, water quality control, and Rodney Rhino. Other topics involve his service as chairman of the Joint Senate-House Committee on Computerized Criminal Records Study, and his involvement with the development of Atlanta.
