ABOUT JACLYN

Born and raised in Berrien County, Jaclyn is no stranger to rural Georgia. Now, she and her husband, Jake, have raised their family in the same rural community Jaclyn grew up in.

She is proud to represent House District 170, a critical part of South Georgia's agricultural region. This district spans from the southern tip of Berrien County to half of Cook County and encompasses most of Tift County. Agriculture is not just an economic driver here; it is the backbone of our communities in District 170.

Located conveniently along I-75, the residents of this region fully recognize the importance of agriculture. Even if you are not directly employed on the farm, your business is likely tied to this vital industry. Whether you are a car dealer, doctor, nurse, banker, accountant, truck driver, insurance agent, USDA employee, or UGA professor, it’s clear that agriculture is integral to our economy and way of life in HD 170.

Jaclyn is honored to advocate for our district and to champion Georgia's #1 industry in Atlanta. Together, we will continue to strengthen and support our region in South Georgia.
