Former Georgia state rep tapped for Norway ambassador position
2020-05-17
[AJC] President Donald Trump has tapped a former Georgia state representative to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Norway.

In a news release, the White House announced Friday that Trump will nominate Mark Burkhalter to the position. The 59-year-old Johns Creek Republican spent 18 years in the General Assembly, representing his North Fulton constituents from 1993 to 2011.

He briefly served as House speaker in 2010, spending 11 days in the position after Glenn Richardson resigned.
