Jason Hayes for Georgia House District 49 A Fresh New Voice for North Fulton By Anna Teal Who Is Dr. Jason Hayes? Alpharetta physician Dr. Jason Hayes is running for the Georgia State House District 49 in the upcoming November election and hopes to flip the script on traditional politics. He is not only a phenomenal physician, but also a small business owner of his practice, Personal Concierge MD. Dr. Hayes’ drive and passion to help others was ignited early in life. “My grandfather served in the U.S. Army. He trained soldiers, as a Master Drill Sergeant, and fought bravely in WWII and the Korean War. After his military career, he taught in the Louisiana school system. His wife, my grandmother, was a schoolteacher as well. Their son, my father, was a Navy man and proudly served in the Vietnam War. Not to forget, my mother was a dedicated nurse who provided selfless care in her nursing career. All of them showed the values of family, public service, and giving back to the community. Their leadership has always been very inspirational to me,” says Dr. Hayes. During high school, Dr. Hayes had an early exposure to politics at American Legion’s Louisiana Boys State where he learned about local and state governments. This experience taught him the impact servant leadership can have on others. It also propelled him to be elected as a state representative by his Boys State peers for his exceptional leadership abilities. Dr. Hayes’ academic career flourished throughout his education at Xavier University of Louisiana, Meharry Medical College, and Baylor College of Medicine. This was highlighted by a Congressional Internship with Jim Cooper of Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District where he realized the value of representation for constituents. What He Stands For With a servant’s spirit, Dr. Hayes vows to stand for the American people. He has a strong desire to change the stigmas of traditional politics. “Politics are often looked at with disdain, and I’d like to change that. Instead of politicians telling the American people what to do, I plan to listen to the needs of my constituents because I work for them,” explains Dr. Hayes. His plan of approach is similar to that of his current role as a physician. “When my patients have a concern or issues, I listen intently, so we can work together toward a diagnosis and treatment. It’s important for my patients to have a voice in their care,” says Dr. Hayes. In addition to being a vessel for the voices of District 49, he hopes to bring a new level of transparency, honesty, and accessibility to the position. Priorities for District 49 Dr. Hayes plans to address health care, education, small business advocacy, and transportation. Health Care Given the COVID-19 crisis, access to quality health care is critical now more than ever. Dr. Hayes’ extensive education and experience in public health and epidemiology makes him well equipped to navigate the current pandemic. “As a former public health doctor, I have a lot of experience working with Medicare and Medicaid patients. Naturally, I am in favor of Georgia Medicaid expansion because it would provide health coverage to young adults, minimum wage workers, and others who are not eligible for health care,” says Dr. Hayes. “Also, struggling small businesses will gain access to affordable health insurance for management and employees.” Education With great admiration for his grandparents who were teachers, Dr. Hayes always has respect for educators. He plans to advocate for increasing teachers’ salaries and benefits. He also wants to restore funding for the Hope Scholarship, which helps eligible high school graduates attend college. Other plans are to improve the safety of children by championing anti-bullying campaigns and better security on school campuses. Small Business Advocacy “Small business owners were greatly impacted by the pandemic. As a small business owner myself, I understand the economic impact of COVID-19 firsthand. So, I support and stand with small business owners in our district and state,” says Dr. Hayes. He plans to: Advocate for small business tax breaks Propose a small business fund for those in need Advocate for Georgia Medicaid expansion to cover small business owners and employees with affordable health insurance Support programs, like Score, that provide tuition-free mentorship. Transportation Like many constituents in District 49, Dr. Hayes has experienced the frustration of congested transportation. He plans to: Advocate for more express lanes Encourage the development of high-speed rail Push to incentivize businesses that allow employees to work from home Start a dialogue about a four-day work week For more information about Dr. Jason Hayes and the change he hopes to bring to Georgia State House District 49, please visit his website, email him, or give him a call.
