I’m Diane Jackson, and I am running to represent constituents in the Georgia House of Representatives for District 42 (Smyrna, Marietta & Cumberland). As a Smyrna resident for over 25 years, a corporate executive, and a local business owner for 21 years, I have always been passionate about our community, and now it’s time to give back in a more significant way.

Accountability is crucial in my business, where managing budgets and delivering high returns on investment for my customers have been paramount. This same energy and expertise are what I plan to bring to our state government. This election is not just about choosing a representative, it’s about choosing the direction of our community. I am running against a self-proclaimed socialist Sanchez, and I believe it is vital for our community to come together to support freedom and democracy and stand up against socialism in our district.
