The Georgia State Senate welcomed its newest member yesterday as Sen. Jason T. Dickerson (R–Canton) took his oath of office at the Cherokee County Courthouse. The freshly sworn-in senator now represents Senate District 21, which covers slices of Cherokee and Fulton counties, ready to bring his business acumen to the legislative chambers.
Dickerson's commitment to Georgia and its families was clear in his statement, "I’m honored and humbled to represent Senate District 21 and the people of Georgia," he expressed. "As a businessman, my values are rooted in hard work, faith and service, and I am fully committed to supporting a family-first agenda in the Georgia Senate." The newly minted senator said, as reported by SenatePress.net. He also detailed his intent to target tax issues, bolster security for state borders and elections, as well as advocate for both veterans and senior citizens within Georgia.
Dickerson stands on a foundation of local business success, notably as a co-founder of Quest Trucking, which bolstered the region's economy by employing over 500 individuals. Transitioning from transport to investment, he now presides over Purple Chip Capital Management as its founder and president, a firm prizing itself on discovering undervalued American companies ripe for investment.
Outside of the business arena, the Jason T. Dickerson Family Foundation, his philanthropy outreach, demonstrates a commitment to the Cherokee County community by supporting veterans, seniors, students, and wildlife. "I am ready to hit the ground running in January and fulfill my promise to my community by keeping Georgia the greatest state to live, work and raise a family," Dickerson pledged in a statement that reveals his aspirations stretch far beyond the fiscal.
