Howard alum Jaha Howard has officially been sworn in as the new Georgia State Senator for District 35, adding another major chapter to Howard University’s legacy of producing public-service leaders across the country. Howard took the oath of office at the Georgia State Capitol, stepping into the role after winning a closely watched special election to fill the vacant seat. ⁠ ⁠ Howard’s moment at the Gold Dome is bigger than a local political win—it’s another reminder that HBCU alumni continue to shape policy, represent communities, and bring lived experience into leadership spaces where decisions are made. #HBCU #HBCUBUZZ ⁠#HowardU
