Political positions

Ridley introduced legislation to provide third-parties the right of discovery in cases before the Georgia Public Service Commission, the agency that regulates utility providers. ^[5] The bill aims to allow citizens the ability to receive and compel information that would make challenging rate-hikes easier.

He also sponsored a bill that would require restaurants to place a label on lab-grown meat, which passed the House in a 161-3 vote, but stalled in the state Senate. ^[6]

Ridley was one of eight House Republicans to vote against Kemp-backed efforts at tort reform. ^[7]

Personal life

Ridley attended Georgia State University. ^[8]
