Rep. Gurtler is a two-term member of the Georgia House of Representatives. He is in the construction business – building custom homes, repairing foundations, and moving houses. Rep. Gurtler is also a certified firearms instructor and avid outdoorsman. He has a history degree from the University of North Georgia, where he participated in R.O.T.C. Rep. Gurtler notes that he has “earned a reputation for being consistent, principled, and the conservative ‘litmus test’ in the House by his peers.” He adds that he has earned the title as the “Most Conservative State Representative” – and he says that he is often referred to as “Dr. NO” for his “willingness to stand against tax increases and big government spending.”
The primary election will take place on June 9.
