Jonathan Bonner for Georgia House District 68
I’m running to deliver affordable housing, fair wages, clean energy, and care for every Georgian. My neighbors in District 68 deserve leadership grounded in lived experience—not corporate interests. Join me in building a people-powered campaign rooted in progress, justice, and opportunity for working families.
About me
I’m Jonathan Bonner, and I’m running to represent District 68 in the Georgia State House because I know what it’s like to struggle, to sacrifice, and to keep pushing forward anyway. I’ve been a caregiver, a community advocate, and a working-class Georgian who’s tired of politics that ignore real life. My campaign is about putting everyday people first — not lobbyists, not corporations, but families who need affordable housing, fair wages, quality education, and real health care.
I’ve seen the consequences of policy failure up close. I’ve watched neighbors priced out of their communities, teachers leave the classroom for better pay, and loved ones denied medical care because of broken systems. That’s why I’m stepping up — because I believe the state legislature should work for all of us, not just the well-connected few.
I’m not here to play political games. I’m here to fight for policies that actually improve lives. That means tackling the housing crisis, raising the minimum wage, protecting rural hospitals, investing in public schools, and demanding transparency in government. It means supporting small businesses and farmers, defending voting rights, and standing up for seniors and caregivers who deserve dignity, respect, and support.
This is personal for me. And if you live in District 68, it’s personal for you too. Let’s build a Georgia that works for all of us — together.
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
Housing That Works
Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to live. I’ll crack down on corporate homebuyers driving up prices, protect renters from unfair evictions, and invest in homeownership opportunities for working families. Housing should be a right—not a luxury reserved for speculators and developers.
02
Wages & Jobs
I’ll fight for a $17 minimum wage and real job training programs tied to clean energy and infrastructure. I’ll support small businesses and push for fair unemployment benefits. It’s time we reward work, not just wealth—and make sure every Georgian has economic security.
03
Health Care for All
Expanding Medicaid is just the beginning. I’ll push for a public option, lower prescription costs, and more mental health care. Rural hospitals need urgent investment, and families shouldn’t go broke to stay healthy. I’ll make health care affordable, accessible, and accountable.
04
Youth Opportunity
I’ll fully fund Title 1 schools, raise teacher pay, and expand career training. Education is opportunity—and kids deserve support beyond the classroom. Wraparound services, free Pre-K, and dual enrollment programs will help every child succeed, no matter their zip code.
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
Long-Term Care
No one should face bankruptcy to care for a loved one. I’ll fight for affordable eldercare, better wages for caregivers, and support systems that let families thrive — not burn out. We need dignity in aging, and it starts with investing in those who provide the care.
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.

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.
