ISSUES

ON THE ISSUES

As your State Representative, Chuck has led and will continue to lead on key issues in the 49th District.


SECURING YOUR VOTE & IMPROVING ELECTION INTEGRITY

Chuck is a dedicated public servant who takes election integrity seriously. After the 2020 elections, he knew he had to take action and asked to serve on the Special Committee on Election Integrity. Chuck worked tirelessly with his colleagues to draft and pass SB 202, which made it easier for citizens to cast their legal votes and harder for people to cheat. 


Chuck remains committed to strengthening our voting laws so your vote counts. In the most recent session, he voted to safeguard elections further, providing visible watermarks on ballots, counting without the QR code, and more secure ballot handling.


“I firmly endorse the voting rights of all Americans. These rights depend on an electoral system that guarantees counting every lawful ballot and prevents fraud; I remain focused on representing you to do just that.” -Rep. Chuck Martin

RETURNING MONEY TO YOU & LOWERING YOUR TAXES

Chuck voted to return money to each tax-paying citizen, refunding Georgians a total of over one billion dollars. Chuck also voted to suspend the gas tax to cut prices by $.29/gallon, and he was a lead co-sponsor of HB 1437 to lower your state income tax rate, saving Georgians another one billion dollars annually. Next session, Chuck will remain focused on delivering results for you, and he is committed to defending our community against Washington's bad policies that cost our families.


“Bad policies in Washington are causing inflation, stealing our financial freedom, and putting Georgia families further in debt. I will always put Georgia families first.” -Rep. Chuck Martin

DEFENDING HOPE & ZELL MILLER SCHOLARSHIPS

Chuck will never back down on protecting and strengthening the HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships for our children and grandchildren. As the Chairman of the House Higher Education Committee, no one is better positioned than Chuck to increase accessibility to education after high school and protect merit-based scholarships across our state.


“I will always work to defend the opportunities that provide and encourage our students to advance their education at home in Georgia.” -Rep. Chuck Martin

PROMOTING MODERN TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS

Chuck knows teamwork between state officials, local community leaders, and citizens is imperative to create cost effective transportation solutions that relieve congestion while complementing and integrating into our community. As a former Alpharetta City Councilmember and Mayor, Chuck experienced rapid growth firsthand, and has a strong record of developing livable solutions.


“The transportation needs of today require the 21st century solutions of tomorrow.” -Rep. Chuck Martin

PROTECTING HOME VALUES

Working for you at the Capitol, Chuck has introduced and passed laws that lowered property taxes for Fulton County homeowners to make home ownership more affordable. By keeping taxes low, families can prepare for their future and protect their most significant investment.


“By keeping taxes low, North Fulton will continue to shine as the best place in Georgia to live, work, and raise a family.” -Rep. Chuck Martin

ENHANCING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

A product of the Fulton County Schools, Chuck cares deeply that every student in our community is afforded the same opportunity that he had to learn in a supportive, safe environment. His wife, Johnna, was a teacher’s assistant for 17 years in our local schools, so Chuck understands firsthand what is needed for our students to receive an excellent education.


“Education can be the difference maker in a child’s life, and I will not waver in supporting our students from Pre-K to graduation so that young Georgians can be prepared for the future of their dreams.” -Rep. Chuck Martin
