CUMMING, GA – Long-time local pharmacist and business owner, Tim Short, RPh, has announced his campaign for Georgia State House in the newly-drawn GA-28 district for portions of Hall and Forsyth Counties.
“I am running to represent and preserve the conservative values of our district,” announced Short. “With the decline in leadership and the lack of integrity in our political system over the last few years, I am motivated to provide an honest, straightforward, and trustworthy voice in our state Capitol.”
Short has been a resident of Forsyth County since 1981. He raised his family, built a business, and served in leadership roles within his profession. As the owner of an independent pharmacy, he has also served a role in government affairs and most recently helped inform legislation that lowered costs and improved pharmacy benefits for every Georgian.
Spending his career listening to people, Tim focuses on the big picture and makes decisions that benefit his customers, his profession, and the community at large. “I want to put my knowledge and experience to work as a resource in our legislature. As a father, grandfather, business owner, and leader, I have a vested interest in addressing the day-to-day concerns of every citizen in this district.” Short points to the priorities that he believes every resident of Forsyth and Hall counties share in common as issues he wants to address under the gold dome – including transparency, education, controlled growth, community safety and security, and economic opportunity.
Short is a lifelong Georgian, a graduate of the University of Georgia, and opened Sawnee Drug Company in 1988. Throughout his career, Short has served as a member, leader, and Chairman within the boards of various organizations including the Georgia Pharmacy Association, Academy of Independent Pharmacy, PharmPAC, National Community Pharmacy Association, and the American Pharmacy Association. He has served on committees dedicated to member benefits and governmental affairs and has been recognized as AIP Pharmacist of the year.
Tim and his wife Rita have two sons and one grandson. They continue to reside in Forsyth County and attend Browns Bridge Church where Tim has taken on additional leadership and service roles.
