Dr. John Cowan, a physician and small business owner, has announced his candidacy for Congress in Georgia’s 11th District, a seat being vacated by Rep. Barry Loudermilk.
In his announcement, Cowan said the district represents the values that have shaped both his personal life and professional career. He emphasized his background in medicine and business as preparation for public service and addressing the needs of North Georgia communities.
Cowan enters the race with significant financial backing, launching his campaign with $1.5 million already in his campaign account. The early fundraising total positions him as a well-funded contender in what is expected to be a closely watched race for the open seat.
Georgia’s 11th District covers portions of northwest Georgia and has been represented by Loudermilk since 2015. With the incumbent stepping aside, the race is expected to draw multiple candidates seeking to represent the district in Washington.
Additional details about Cowan’s campaign platform and priorities are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
