Our Economy

Jon is a small business owner, executive, and entrepreneur — the CEO of a company that produces documentaries investigating organized crime and political corruption. 

He knows what it means to grow a company, meet a payroll, and balance budgets.

Jon has a Master’s degree from the London School of Economics, where he specialized in trade relations between the US and China. 

Jon’s training in economics and his international business experience will help him craft smart, effective economic policy that empowers our community’s businesses to compete globally, create good-paying jobs with benefits, and build Georgia into an economic powerhouse.

Jon will stand up in Congress for a dynamic, forward-looking, fiscally responsible economic policy that maximizes opportunity for entrepreneurs, workers, and investors.

Jon will work to level the playing field for small businesses so they can grow and create jobs that will empower Georgians to strive, save, send our kids to college affordably, and retire comfortably.

Jon will work in Congress to reduce the tax burden on small businesses and simplify small business tax filing. He will work to repeal wasteful, anti-competitive special interest subsidies that make it hard for entrepreneurs to raise capital, enter the market, create jobs, and compete with larger firms who have lobbyists in Washington.

Jon will go to work to ensure that health insurance premiums don’t cripple businesses or force them to lay off employees.

Jon will defend equal pay for equal work and fight any effort to allow wage discrimination against women or minorities.

Jon believes the minimum wage should be a living wage. He will support an increase in the federal minimum wage indexed to cost of living and implemented at a pace that allows employers to adapt their business plans.

Health Care

It is in our strong national interest that every American have quality, affordable health care.

Whether it’s a newborn just home from the hospital, a mother battling cancer, or a veteran returned from overseas, our health isn’t negotiable. 

Our quality of life, our strength, and our prosperity depend on it.

It’s time to move beyond the tired, partisan debate over health care policy, agree on some basic principles, and solve problems.

No American should suffer or die from preventable or treatable illness.

No American should be unable to make ends meet from out-of-control medical bills.


Jon will work to defend Medicare and Medicaid, ensure young people can stay on the family plan, prevent discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, and ensure veterans swiftly get the care and benefits they’ve earned.

Jon will defend women’s access to contraception and a woman’s right to choose and fight any legislation or executive action that would allow insurance companies to discriminate against women.

Jon will go to work to ensure that health insurance premiums don’t cripple small businesses or force them to lay off employees.

Jon will introduce legislation to simplify and streamline the online health insurance marketplace so Georgians can easily understand the available plans and sign up quickly, without stress, at any time of year.

It is inefficient and dangerous for Americans to rely on the emergency room to treat preventable illness. Jon will work to ensure all Americans have access to preventative care, which will save lives and taxpayer dollars.


Our Constitutional rights, our civil liberties, and our privacy are sacred. 

Throughout our history, patriots, abolitionists, civil libertarians, suffragettes, and civil rights heroes have made huge sacrifices to advance liberty and justice for all. We should continue striving together toward a more perfect union.

Jon will fight for our civil liberties to ensure that every American is free to determine the course of their own life so long as they don’t harm others.

Jon will oppose cynical attempts by politicians to win elections by undermining Americans’ hard-fought, sacred voting rights.

Jon’s mother is an immigrant who became a small business owner, an American citizen, and a champion for women’s rights. America needs a strong border policy that protects American citizens and American jobs. We should welcome those strivers who, like our own forebears, seek the opportunity to work hard, play by the rules, and build better lives in America.



Jon will stand up for due process and equal treatment under law for all of us, regardless of race or income level. Jon will honor law enforcement and stand up for Georgians who are mistreated by the criminal justice system.

Jon will oppose legislation or executive action that undermines Americans’ access to private communications and strong encryption.



Planned Parenthood provides essential preventative and reproductive health care services like cancer screenings, STD testing and low-cost birth control to millions of American women.  Jon will defend Planned Parenthood in Congress. 

National Security

Jon is a former national security professional who understands the threats America faces and the complexity of international politics. 

When he was a national security staffer on Capitol Hill, Jon held a top secret security clearance and worked with our military and intelligence community to keep Georgians safe. 

In Congress, Jon will push for a tough, smart foreign policy that protects our national security while avoiding reckless, destabilizing missteps like the Iraq War.

While on Capitol Hill, Jon worked on classified naval, cyber, air, and counterrorism programs. He embarked with the US Navy during multinational military exercises, worked closely with senior officers to improve readiness and capabilities, and helped draft annual defense legislation.

As an investigative film executive, Jon has managed high-risk operations in conflict zones. Last year, one of his investigative teams documented evidence of war crimes on the front line in Iraq. His teams have also exposed the corrupt theft and black market sale of foreign aid funded by American taxpayers.

Jon will investigate Russian interference in American politics and defend the NATO alliance, which remains essential to our national security. He will stand with our allies and oppose Russian meddling and expansion in Europe.

Jon will oppose unnecessary military intervention overseas and will only support the use of force where US national security is at stake.

While on Capitol Hill, Jon worked with a joint Congressional-DOD task force to combat sexual assault in the military. It remains a crisis of epidemic proportions. Jon will make ending military sexual assault a core goal of his service in Congress.

Jon will back efforts to destroy ISIS without deploying regular US ground forces. He will work to ensure that law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the military have the resources and authorities necessary to prevent terrorism without sacrificing privacy and human rights. 

Jon will vigorously oppose the torture of detainees and prisoners of war in US custody.

Honoring & Defending Seniors

Our country decided long ago that America’s seniors will not be neglected or forgotten. A civilized, prosperous nation cannot abandon its elders to destitution or homelessness, or allow them to go without health care.

Medicare and Social Security are vital programs that reflect our values and our commitment to honor and support seniors.

Seniors paid for these benefits throughout their lives. Many of those from the Greatest Generation, who fought through the Depression and won World War II, still count on these critical programs.

We should honor all seniors as if they are our own family.

The Environment


There is a clear scientific consensus that climate change is driven by human activity and that it threatens global prosperity, health, and security. This is not just the opinion of activists; it is the studied conclusion of our country’s distinguished scientists. Our military and intelligence agencies agree. Jon will oppose efforts to undo the climate change agreement reached last year in Paris and will work to make the United States a global leader against climate change.



All Georgians – all Americans – should have the opportunity to reach their full potential. We should ensure our children and young people get the best education in the world.

Jon will work in Congress to ensure our local schools get the resources they need to hire and keep great teachers, to invest in technology to keep students learning at the cutting edge, and to reduce class sizes.

Teachers should be honored, given the support and tools they need to do their best work, and paid better.

Jon will work to make college more affordable. Student debt shouldn’t prevent young Americans from saving, investing in their careers, and reaching their potential. Jon will work to reduce the burden of student debt on young Americans.

Jon will promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education for Georgia’s students and professional education to qualify young Georgians for the workforce after high school.

Criminal Justice



It just doesn’t make sense.




Jon is the CEO of an award-winning company that specializes in hard-hitting anti-corruption investigations for international news organizations.

Since 2013, Jon has led more than 20 investigations of political corruption, organized crime, and armed conflict around the world.

Jon’s teams have investigated and exposed dozens of corrupt politicians and judges, the theft and corrupt sale of U.S. taxpayer-funded aid intended for starving children and HIV patients, quack doctors who kill and mutilate women, and high-level organized criminals.

As a senior national security staffer in Congress, Jon led investigations of malfeasance by defense and intelligence contractors.

In this era of “fake news” and “alternative facts," we need leaders who will back their claims with real evidence and call out politicians who lie for short-term gain.

Jon believes passionately in integrity and transparency in government and he will use his real-world experience to root out and expose corruption and fraud in Washington.

Jon will introduce legislation to reform campaign finance laws and reduce the toxic and corrupt impact of money in politics. He is opposed to the Citizens United decision allowing unchecked, anonymous money in politics.
