COMBAT VETERAN~FORMER SECRET SERVICE AGENT HUSBAND~FATHER~COMMUNITY LEADER
Cherokee County is growing quickly, and growth brings both opportunity and responsibility. As your State Representative, my role is to advocate for our communities at the state level, make sure state policies support smart local decision-making, and ensure Cherokee County has a strong voice at the capitol. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I believe in listening, learning, and working with people who understand these challenges firsthand.
- Steady, practical leadership.
- Listening first and focusing on results.
- Making sure Cherokee County’s voice is heard clearly at the Capitol.

Service isn't a career path; it’s a duty. From the Marine Corps to the Secret Service, Jason Tanner has spent his life in high-stakes environments where results are the only metric that matters. He is running to bring that same accountability to the Georgia House, replacing "the usual" partisan friction with a commitment to the citizens of District 20.

-
Rent Fairness: Preventing predatory price gouging by corporate institutional investors.
-
Defeating the Property Tax Trap: Opposing the abolition of property taxes that would create a $400 million hole in Cherokee schools and force a doubling of the sales tax.
