Houston Gaines, a Republican and member of the Georgia State House representing the 120th District since 2023, has been active on social media sharing updates about his recent activities and campaign efforts.

On August 1, 2025, Gaines posted: “We got it done. But we’re not slowing down — pitch in today and help us keep the momentum https://t.co/YuUgSQI4Jw https://t.co/lgjIEnvnQ1”. The message suggests recent progress in his campaign and calls for continued support.

Later that same day, he shared a personal milestone: “Congratulations to my dad on his retirement after 37 years at St. Mary’s. We’ll let him have the weekend off, but I think I’ve identified the perfect driver for the new campaign… https://t.co/HGja3nhc1s”.

On August 2, 2025, Gaines reflected on early support for his congressional campaign: “Great to be on WDUN with @MarthaZoller yesterday to discuss my campaign for Congress. We’re only two days into the race, but I’m already blown away by the support. My sincere thanks to everyone who has already stepped up to help our campaign.”

Gaines was elected to represent Georgia’s 120th House District in 2023, succeeding Trey Rhodes. His recent social media posts highlight both ongoing political activity and personal events as he embarks on a congressional campaign.
