State Level Legislator Fact Sheet · Georgia House of Representatives · District 106
Muhammad Akbar Ali, a Gwinnett Democrat from the Snellville area, won a December 2025 special-election runoff to fill House District 106 after Rep. Shelly Hutchinson resigned in September 2025 to care for a family member. Sworn in December 18, 2025, Ali is Georgia's youngest sitting legislator. Because he took office at the start of the 2026 session, only the 2026 bills below reflect his record.
Methodology. Each vote is Rep. Ali's actual position from the official Georgia roll call (legis.ga.gov), transcribed into a verified vote database and cross-checked against the published Yea/Nay totals. The chamber tally and final status (became law / died in House) are noted per bill.
Authorizes a local-option homestead sales tax and related homestead relief, letting communities offset rising property-tax bills driven by climbing home values. Supporters framed it as relief for homeowners squeezed by reassessments; critics noted sales taxes are regressive and that any relief depends on each community choosing to adopt it.
Restricts unsanctioned public camping and sleeping and presses local governments toward enforcement and state-directed approaches to homelessness. Supporters said it keeps public spaces safe and orderly; homeless-services advocates warned it criminalizes poverty and can push people away from services without adding any housing.
Expands Georgia's low-THC medical cannabis program — broadening the qualifying conditions and access for registered patients — and passed with bipartisan support. It widened eligibility for Georgians managing chronic and serious illnesses under the state's tightly regulated program.
