Issues

Every issue facing District 53 comes down to the same core principles: responsibility, fairness, transparency, and putting people before politics. Lanny Thomas believes government works best when it listens to local communities, protects taxpayers, and focuses on practical solutions that improve everyday life.

Economy & Jobs

Northwest Georgia deserves an economy where families can thrive without leaving the communities they love. Lanny will work to attract new businesses, support small business owners, and protect the good-paying jobs that keep our towns strong. His focus is simple: grow local opportunity and strengthen the rural workforce.

Taxes & Government Spending

Lanny believes hardworking Georgians deserve to keep more of what they earn. He will fight for lower taxes and responsible budgeting in Atlanta, ensuring every dollar spent truly benefits the people of District 53. Government should be efficient, transparent, and always accountable to taxpayers.

Public Safety & Law Enforcement

Safe communities are the foundation of a strong district. Lanny proudly supports our law enforcement officers and will ensure they have the training, resources, and backing they need to protect our families. He will stand firmly against policies that weaken police or put criminals ahead of victims.

Rural Infrastructure & Broadband

Improving infrastructure is essential for Northwest Georgia’s future. Lanny will work to strengthen roadways, expand high-speed broadband access, and modernize utilities in underserved areas. Better infrastructure means better jobs, better education, and better quality of life for every family.

Agriculture & Farming

Agriculture is the backbone of District 53, and Lanny is committed to working with the Agriculture Commissioner in protecting Georgia’s farming heritage. He will support policies that ease burdens on farmers, encourage agricultural innovation, and preserve the land that feeds our communities. When our farmers thrive, our region thrives.

Education & Parental Rights

As a lifelong educator, Lanny understands firsthand what our schools need to succeed. He believes parents deserve a strong voice in their child’s education and that classrooms should focus on excellence, transparency, and student achievement. Lanny will champion policies that empower teachers, support families, and strengthen local schools.

Healthcare Access

Rural communities should never be left behind when it comes to healthcare. Lanny will fight to improve access to quality medical care, support local hospitals, and reduce barriers that prevent families from getting the services they need. Healthy communities are stronger communities.

Veterans & Military Families

District 53 is home to many veterans who have sacrificed for our freedom, and they deserve our full support. Lanny will work to improve access to veterans’ services, reduce wait times, and expand resources for mental health and job assistance. He is committed to honoring their service with action, not just words.
