Bryce Berry is among the fresh faces newly elected to Georgia’s House of Representatives. He’ll take office in January, but he’s already familiar with the challenge of meeting the unique needs of individuals within his purview.

Berry is a 7th grade math teacher at a public school in southwest Atlanta.

“They tease me. They call me Representative Berry. But they were very excited,” Berry says about his students.
