why I’m Running:
I’m running for Georgia House District 68 because working families deserve better. I’ve lived the challenges—caregiving, rising costs, and broken promises. I’m ready to fight for affordable housing, real healthcare, and wages people can live on. This isn’t politics as usual. It’s personal, and it’s time.
01
AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE FOR SENIORS & FAMILIES
Everyone deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare. I’ll fight to lower prescription drug costs, protect Medicare and Medicaid, and increase transparency so insurance companies are held accountable not families. No senior should have to choose between medicine and groceries, and no parent should fear a medical bill more than an illness. Healthcare should be about people not corporate profit margins.
02
SUPPORT FOR CARETAKERS & VETERANS
Those who serve and those who care for others deserve real support not empty words. I’ll fight to expand resources for veterans, reduce VA wait times, and ensure access to mental health services. I’ll push for financial relief and workforce protections for family caretakers who sacrifice income to care for loved ones. We must honor service with action by providing stable benefits, job pathways, and the respect our veterans and caretakers have earned.
03
RESPONSIBLE DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT
Growth should not come at the expense of our communities. I’ll push for strict oversight on data center expansion, require full transparency on tax incentives, and ensure infrastructure costs are not shifted onto residents. We need clear guardrails on energy consumption, water usage, and land impact especially in areas already carrying the burden. Economic development must benefit local families through local hiring and fair tax contributions. If a project moves forward, it should serve the community not overwhelm it.
04
STRONGER SCHOOLS
Our schools must be safe, fully funded, and focused on results. I’ll fight for better teacher pay, real classroom resources, stronger safety standards, and expanded mental health support. Students deserve clear career pathways through trade and technical programs. Education should prepare our kids for life not just a test.
05
Democracy & Accountability
I’ll ban corporate PAC money, protect voting rights, and demand real transparency. Gerrymandering steals voices, and shady donations buy power. I’m here to clean up the system and make government work for people—not special interests. Politics should serve communities, not careers.
06
AFFORDABILITY THAT WORKS
Costs are rising. Paychecks aren’t keeping up. I’ll fight to lower everyday expenses protecting families from utility hikes, pushing back on hidden fees, and increasing transparency around property taxes and insurance rates. We need responsible economic policy that keeps more money in your pocket. Affordability isn’t partisan it’s practical.
Trusted by Neighbors
I’m not running alone—I’m standing with the people of District 68 who know my work, my values, and my heart. Real leadership means earning trust, showing up, and fighting for what matters. These voices reflect the deep relationships and shared vision that power this campaign forward.
Jonathan has always shown up for families like mine. As a parent and educator, I see how much he cares about kids, schools, and working people. He listens, he acts, and he leads with empathy—exactly what our community needs in the State House.

Community Involvement
Jonathan Bonner has lived in District 68 for most of his life. He and his two siblings grew up here, attended local schools, and have deep roots in the community. As a single father and caregiver, Jonathan sees firsthand the real challenges families face—from rising housing costs to underfunded schools. He’s led town halls, cleanups, and food drives, mentored youth, and stood with working families across South Fulton, Fayetteville Fairburn, Tyrone and Union City. He’s not an outsider looking in—he’s one of us, doing the work every day to make our communities stronger.
