JT Wu Wants To Bring Hope For A Bright Future

www.PopcornandPolitics.com JT Wu is a lifelong Georgian and native Gwinnettian who's running to be District 97's voice in the Georgia State House (encompassing the cities of Berkeley Lake, Duluth, Norcross, and Peachtree Corners).
​
Experienced, energetic, and ready to lead, JT's first-generation story is living proof of the American Dream.
​
Born to immigrant parents, JT went from kindergarten in Gwinnett County Public Schools to graduating on scholarship from Princeton University, getting his start in public service working in the State Department during college. Since then, he's collaborated with diplomats on policy research, held executive roles across the private sector, fought for living wages of $15 an hour as the first-ever Asian-American on the Gwinnett County Public Library Board, and founded an early childhood literacy nonprofit called Preface here in Gwinnett County teaching kids of all backgrounds to read.
​
Thanks to deep relationships with local leaders, JT has a proven track record of bringing folks together to get things done. He's running to make sure the next generation of Georgians will have the same opportunities he had growing up - high-quality education, good healthcare, and HOPE for a brighter future.
