State Sen. Jack Hill (R-Reidsville)

Georgia's congressional delegation is pushing to name a post office for the late state Sen. Jack Hill.

All 14 Georgia members of the U.S. House signed proposed legislation to place Hill's name on a post office building in his hometown of Reidsville.

Hill died April 6 at the age of 75.

The Republican lawmaker served at the state Capitol as chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee.

He was first elected to the Senate 30 years ago as a Democrat. U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter in a statement remembered Hill for his immense dedication and kindness.
