Dr. Anthony, who officially qualified for the race earlier this month, is positioning his campaign around real-world leadership experience and a commitment to supporting school systems at every level.
“Georgia doesn’t have a talent problem—it has a support and exposure problem,” Anthony said. “My goal is to ensure every student, no matter their zip code, has access to opportunity and the support needed to succeed.”

He has served as a teacher in Burke County, assistant principal in Muscogee County and McDuffie County, principal in Sumter County and Richmond County, Human Resources Manager in DeKalb County, and now as Superintendent in Hancock County.
That statewide experience, he says, gives him a unique understanding of the challenges facing Georgia schools.
“I’ve seen education from every level and in every type of district,” Anthony said. “From rural communities to metro systems, the challenges may look different, but the need for strong leadership and support remains the same.”
Throughout his leadership, Dr. Anthony has focused on improving instructional outcomes, strengthening school culture, and building systems that support both students and educators. In Hancock County, he has led efforts centered on literacy growth, student engagement, and operational stability.
His campaign continues to emphasize:
Strengthening early literacy and numeracy
Expanding career exposure and workforce pathways
Increasing state-level support for struggling districts
Building stronger connections between schools and communities
“As State Superintendent, the role is not just to identify problems,” Anthony said. “It is to provide real solutions and stand alongside districts to help them succeed.”
Dr. Anthony’s message continues to resonate across Georgia as he connects with educators, families, and communities statewide, building momentum around a vision of practical leadership and expanded opportunity for all students.
The primary election for Georgia State School Superintendent will be held on May 19, 2026.
