Georgia State House District 10

What can John Brown do for you?: “Born in Franklin, North Carolina and raised in a hardworking, blue-collar family, I learned early the values of faith, craftsmanship, and community. I built my career in the construction trades—working my way from framing and roofing to leading timber framing crews that now build homes, pavilions, and chapels across the country. Today, my wife, daughter, and I live near Clayton, where we are proud to call Rabun County home.” (Campaign website)

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “I’m running for Georgia House District 10 because families here deserve leaders who understand the real cost of groceries, housing, and healthcare—and who are ready to fight for affordable living, strong local businesses, and a future where every Georgian has a fair shot. I believe in bringing people together, not dividing them, and in building a Georgia that works for everyone.” (Campaign website)

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “I was born in Franklin, North Carolina, into a family of hard-working people who taught me the value of earning an honest living. My father worked at the Fruit of the Loom plant in Rabun Gap before becoming a small business owner. My grandfather drove trucks hauling stone and dirt, while my grandmother drove a school bus. My mother and her mother both worked as café waitresses. Another grandfather was an Army combat veteran and police officer who, along with his wife, retired to Tiger in 1991 and became active in Rabun County civic life.” (Campaign website)

Education & schools: “Growing up, I spent much of my time fishing and shooting with my grandfather, and I developed a love for woodworking that would shape my future. As a teenager, my family encouraged me to attend church, where I learned Christian values that still guide me today. After high school, I went into construction, building houses and working in roofing. By age 20, I was building custom homes in the Highlands and Cashiers area, and at 28 I moved into timber framing. The skills I’ve gained in the shop continue to serve me as I build homes, pavilions, chapels, and lasting relationships across the country.” (Campaign website)
