Collapse all
|After retiring from the military, Peter and his family made Georgia their home in 2014. Guided by a strong Christian conservative faith, Peter built a successful wealth management company, Bourne Alliance Group, LLC, helping families grow, protect, and preserve their financial futures. His expertise in financial planning, tax strategies, and retirement solutions gives him a unique perspective on the economic challenges Georgia families face every day.
Service to country is a family tradition in the Bourne household. His wife, Ro, is also a proud Navy veteran, and their daughter recently completed Navy boot camp, carrying on the legacy of service.
Peter’s campaign for Congress is rooted in his belief that Georgia’s 13th District deserves bold, principled leadership.- As a proud U.S. Navy veteran with 20 years of service, I know the challenges our heroes face when they return home. Too often, veterans fight harder for their benefits than they did in uniform — and that must change. In Congress, I will work to cut VA red tape, expand access to quality care, and create real opportunities for veterans to thrive in civilian life. I will also champion resources for military families, who serve alongside our troops and deserve strong support. Georgia’s 13th District needs a representative who has lived it, understands it, and will fight for those who served.
- As a business owner, I know the challenges Georgia families and small businesses face. Too often, Washington piles on taxes and red tape that crush opportunity instead of creating it. In Congress, I will fight to lower taxes, cut wasteful spending, and reduce regulations that strangle growth. I will champion policies that empower small businesses, expand access to good-paying jobs, and strengthen local industries so our communities can thrive. With my background in financial planning, I understand how to balance budgets and promote real economic growth that lifts every family in Georgia’s 13th District.
- Our seniors and working families have paid into Social Security and Medicare their entire lives — those benefits are a promise that must be protected. In Congress, I will fight against any effort to cut or weaken Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. Healthcare should be accessible and affordable, especially for our most vulnerable citizens. I will work to lower prescription drug costs, safeguard retirement benefits, and ensure that every Georgian can depend on the programs they’ve earned. Protecting these pillars of security is not just policy — it’s a moral obligation to those who built this nation.
That experience left a lasting impression on me. Just one year later, I enlisted in the United States Navy, beginning 20 years of honorable service to our nation. Looking back, I believe that moment of crisis planted a seed in me — a deeper sense of duty, a call to protect and defend the country I love. It was a defining event that not only shaped my personal journey, but also continues to inspire my commitment to public service today.
Second, our national debt and reckless government spending pose a serious economic risk. If left unchecked, it will burden future generations, weaken our economy, and limit our ability to respond to crises. Fiscal discipline, balanced budgets, and a renewed focus on strengthening small businesses and middle-class families will be essential to maintaining economic stability.
Third, we face a cultural and societal challenge. Faith, family, and community are the backbone of this nation, yet these values are often under attack. Protecting religious freedom, strengthening families, and restoring trust in our institutions will be critical to keeping our country strong and united.
Finally, we must address the broken promises to our veterans, seniors, and working families. Securing Social Security and Medicare, ensuring affordable healthcare, and delivering on the benefits earned by those who served are not just policies — they are moral obligations.
