From the BG AD GROUP Studio this is your news minute on the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Saturday, January 27th, and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Rep. Pedro 'Pete' Marin, one of the first Latino figures in the Georgia General Assembly, announces his retirement after a distinguished 22-year tenure. Marin, known for his dedication to legislative duties, decided it was time to step down, honoring a promise to his wife, Nereida.

Marin's retirement announcement was met with bipartisan praise, highlighting his leadership, advocacy for the Latino community, and his successful tenure which included numerous authored bills and two years as chairman of the Gwinnett legislative delegation.

His service began in 2002, marking a watershed moment for the state, leading to a significant increase in Latino voter registration. He also served as a mentor to emerging Latino leaders, encouraging them to seek public office.

As Marin concludes his political career, supporters celebrate his commitment to representing Gwinnett County with integrity, honesty, respect, and courage. Marin hopes his actions have demonstrated his profound commitment to the community.
