Meet Mathew Philip

I’m running to bring fresh ideas and real solutions to our community in the Georgia House.

Vision

Promise

Committed to listening, working hard, and standing up for every voice in our district.

My family and I have called the Cumming area home for the past 14 years. During that time, I have come to deeply appreciate the strength, faith, and values that make our community such a special place to live and raise a family.

For more than thirty years, I have worked in the corporate world, serving in senior management roles where I led teams, managed budgets, and focused on strategic planning, operational excellence, and fiscal responsibility. Those experiences have taught me how to bring people together, solve problems, and make responsible decisions that create lasting results. I also earned my MBA from the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia, which further strengthened my understanding of leadership, business, and economic development.

Beyond my professional experience, my greatest calling is serving people. I am the pastor of a multicultural church, where I have the privilege of working with families from many different backgrounds who all share the same hopes: safe communities, good schools, opportunity, and a better future for their children.

Today, many families are struggling with the rising cost of living and the challenge of finding affordable housing. These are not abstract policy issues—they are real concerns affecting our neighbors every day. It is time for leaders who are willing to listen, work together, and focus on solutions that improve people’s lives.

My parents taught me from an early age that being a responsible citizen means caring for others and giving back to the community. That lesson has guided my life and continues to shape my commitment to public service.

My campaign is about people above politics. It is about ensuring equitable access to state services and making sure that those who often feel unheard have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. I bring thoughtful leadership that values integrity, service, and accountability. I am running to be a voice for our community and to work toward a future where opportunity is accessible to everyone.
