Strikes out framing Georgia representatives (9)
I believe the answer is:
delegates
'representatives' is the definition.
(delegate is a kind of representative)
'strikes out framing georgia' is the wordplay.
'strikes out' becomes 'deletes' (I've seen this in another clue).
'framing' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are framed by the outside letters).
'georgia' becomes 'GA' (abbreviation for the US state).
'deletes' enclosing 'ga' is 'DELEGATES'.
(Other definitions for delegates that I've seen before include "Confers authority on agent or subordinate" , "They're appointed to represent others" , "Representatives or deputies" .)
