Rabun County Republican, Matt Gurtler is pleased to announce his run for State Representative for House District 8.
Last week current State Representative Stephen Allison announced he would not be seeking re-election after 8 years of service.
Matt is a general contractor and has worked as Stephen Allison’s Legislative Aide for the past 4 years, learning first hand what it means to truly serve the constituents of Union, Rabun, Towns and White counties. “I can’t thank Representative Allison enough for the opportunity to be able to learn along side him these past 4 years at the Capitol in Atlanta. I’ve been involved in politics since 2007 when I entered as a freshman at the University of North Georgia. I have a passion for the principles that our country was founded upon; limited government, individual liberty and personal responsibility. If I am elected those are the principles I will defend at the State House.”
Matt is graduate of the University of North Georgia, in Dahlonega where he participated in the ROTC program and received his B.A. in History. He is also a certified National Matt Gurtler Announces Campaign for State Representative RifleAssociation instructor and an avid outdoorsman. Matt made his offi- cial announcement Friday morning February 5th at the Movers and Shakers meeting at Mary’s Southern Grill in Towns County. “I look forward to getting to know more of my neighbors here in the mountains of Northeast Georgia over the next several months of campaigning, and hope to earn their trust and support at the ballot box on May 24th.” Learn more about Matt Gurtler and his campaign by visiting www.MattGurtler. com.
