State Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ranger, a Republican candidate for Georgia’s 9th Congressional District, was named one of Georgia’s “40 Under 40” by Georgia Trend magazine. The magazine highlights individuals from around the state who are making an impact in fields such as business, politics, nonprofits, academia, health care and the arts. 

 “Each year, the 40 Under 40 finalists represent the ‘best and brightest’ among the rising young leaders in our state,” said Georgia Trend publisher Neely Young. “It’s good to know the future of Georgia is in their hands.”

 “This is truly an honor,” said Graves. “Julie and I are humbled to have received this recognition. And we look forward to continuing our service in North Georgia and working hard to provide common sense, free market, capitalist solutions to the difficult challenges our business communities face.”
