DECATUR, GA – This week, Congressman Johnson sadly announced the sudden, unexpected but peaceful passing away of Commissioner Mereda Davis Johnson’s lifelong best friend and his own close friend and District Director Kathy (Gayle) Holt Register. Kathy Register, 70, served as District Director from the day Congressman Johnson was first sworn in to Congress on January 3, 2007. Kathy oversaw an award-winning constituent services operation that has been largely responsible for Rep. Johnson’s reelection to Congress. “When I first took office in 2007, I promised Georgians that I would take care of home first,” said Congressman Johnson. “Kathy Register made sure that that promise was kept. Under Kathy’s leadership, my district staff has helped tens of thousands of constituents solve seemingly intractable problems. She ran the office with professionalism and an eye for service. That is what she did every day for more than almost 19 years. She will be missed as our leader but also as a dear and close friend.” ### | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
