Adam Chitwood

Adam Chitwood, a Democrat, is running for the Georgia House of Representatives District 173, fueled by his personal experience growing up in poverty and relying on programs like food stamps. Born in Muscatine, Iowa, he holds multiple degrees, including an associate degree, a bachelor's in accounting, and master's degrees from Upper Iowa University and the University of Iowa. His professional background is in accounting. Chitwood moved to Thomasville and aims to be a voice for families who feel invisible and workers who feel left behind, advocating for an end to generational poverty. His policy goals include expanding Medicaid and SNAP and investing in mental health support for children and stability for working-class citizens. He seeks to ensure existing support systems aid rather than punish those striving for improvement.
