Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

John Gordon grew up in Macon, Georgia, where he attended Alexander III elementary school and Stratford Academy (Macon, Ga.) from grades seven through twelve. He then attended Ohio Wesleyan University, followed by Mercer Law School. John has always worked hard and credits his parents – Lucy and Don – as his role models, who instilled the desire in him to succeed.

John began working as a very young man, serving drinks and snacks to construction workers at the age of 12. By the time he hit his teenage years, he started working in fast food, then in a machine room at a cotton mill, and then in hospitality and finance. When he reached his twenties, John got a job at a radio station as he went through law school.

He eventually landed a job as a prosecutor with the District Attorney of Bibb County, Georgia. From there, John was hired into private practice, starting a successful career practicing law, running a business, and providing jobs. He’s currently the Managing Partner at Perfect Circle Renewable Energy, LLC.

Throughout his adult life, John has always given back to his community, serving in leadership positions with various groups such as Skyland Trail (Board Emeritus), Friends of English Avenue (Founder and Chair), Peachtree Presbyterian Church, United Way, Georgia Republican Party Foundation, and many others.

John is married to Helen Milner from Atlanta. They’ve been married for 43 years and have 3 adult children John (Darcy), Spencer and Grayson.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• John is the only candidate that will protect your votes. As Attorney General John Gordon will enforce existing laws to prevent voter fraud. He will uncover past fraud and hold people accountable, so election fraud never happens again!
• John will also protect our communities against crime, illegal immigration and the influx of fentanyl.
• He will also prevent misguided educators teaching critical race theory; from counseling children under the age of 16 on gender identity; and John will guarantee parents’ rights to raise their children as they see fit.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

John Gordon is passionate about Truth, Justice, Security, Integrity, Safety, Law & Order. Ensuring agencies within jurisdiction are run in an accountable manner is of upmost concern. Making communities safer by efficiently prosecuting criminals for their actions. Creating a Coalition of Law Enforcement Departments across the state with a unified goal and mission to target the influx of Fentanyl that is coming into our State and Country. Keeping children safe from misguided ideologies in the school system is also a foremost priority.
