ON THE ISSUES

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


IMPROVE HEALTHCARE ACCESS

Working for you in the State House, Chuck has introduced and passed laws that improve access to healthcare. This past year alone, he championed legislation that cut down on “surprise medical billing,” expanded Medicaid for new mothers up to 6 months, and brought greater transparency to the healthcare process.


“While progress was made, more is needed. I will never stop working to bring healthcare results to the 49th District.” -Rep. Chuck Martin

DEFEND HOPE and 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

PROMOTE 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

PROTECT 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

CHAMPION SAFER NEIGHBORHOODS

As Mayor of Alpharetta, Chuck worked with local leaders to implement community policing initiatives and support Alpharetta’s public safety professionals with the formation of the Alpharetta Police Athletic League to reach the youth in the community. Chuck has continued his leadership at the Capitol by providing school security grants of $30,000 for every Georgia school and over $100 million in funding to fight COVID-19.


“The men and women that protect us have my full support, and my constituents have my commitment to foster a community that is a safe place to live, work, and play. Working together, we will continue to succeed.” -Rep. Chuck Martin

ENHANCE 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
