Jonathan Bonner is running for State House Representative in Georgia’s District 68 as a working-class organizer, single father, and caregiver focused on fighting for working families across South Fulton, Fayetteville, Fairburn, Tyrone, and Union City. Having spent most of his life in District 68, Jonathan says he understands firsthand the struggles families are facing, from rising housing costs and underfunded schools to healthcare access and economic instability. His campaign is centered on building a government that works for ordinary people instead of corporations and political insiders.
Jonathan’s background as a caregiver and community organizer heavily shapes his platform. Over the years, he has organized town halls, food drives, community cleanups, and youth mentorship efforts while advocating for policies focused on economic justice, public education, and healthcare access. He believes politics should prioritize working people, tenants, students, veterans, and families who feel ignored by the current system.
His platform includes Medicare for All, stronger labor protections, paid family leave, direct support for caregivers, and fully funded public schools with higher teacher pay. Jonathan is also outspoken against corporate tax breaks for large data centers and developers, arguing that communities should not bear the environmental and financial burden while corporations profit. He supports stronger tenant protections, affordable housing investments, union rights, and campaign finance reform aimed at reducing corporate influence in politics.
Jonathan says his campaign is rooted in the belief that government should serve the 99%, not wealthy donors or corporations. He supports banning corporate PAC money, expanding voting rights, ending gerrymandering, and increasing transparency in government. His campaign also focuses on public transit, utility justice, and creating policies centered around human needs rather than corporate profits.
In this interview, Jonathan discusses what inspired him to run for State House, how state representatives can directly impact local communities, and how Georgia lawmakers and residents have pushed back against current federal policies. He also breaks down his plans for public school funding, explains why he opposes corporate giveaways to data centers, and shares his top priorities if elected. Plus, he talks about rebuilding trust with disillusioned voters, his dream VP pick, a chaotic food question involving Trump and RFK, and his favorite Georgian.
