Meet Maura Keller
Maura Keller served 26 years in the US army, rising from enlisted MP to Lieutenant Colonel. She later served as a health care worker in the Atlanta VA. Now, Maura’s committed to serving the people of Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District.
Maura's Story
Born in Massachusetts, Maura Keller has lived in Georgia for over 30 years. As a second-time candidate for Congress, she is committed first and foremost to her loving husband, 4 children, and 2 grandchildren.
Maura enlisted as a Military Policewoman in the US Army out of high school, qualified as an officer, and received the General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award for her commitment to leadership. After retiring, she contracted for the DOD before re-training into healthcare. That’s when she moved into to the Atlanta VA.
Why Maura's Running
Working at the VA, Maura found that, sadly, dedicated service wasn't enough to help all of her patients. No amount of following up or calling different offices could fix the quality-of-life-affecting issues her veterans were facing. Then, when she reached out to her Congressman for help, she got nothing in return.
That’s why she decided to run for Congress, first in 2024 and again in 2026, to actually solve fixable problems in District 3. She's for helping veterans. She's for lowering costs. She's for fixing healthcare in rural areas. She's for serving the people.
The American Dream is in safe hands with MAURA
Maura Keller stands for service, dedication, and progress. Born in South Weymouth, Massachusetts, and residing in Fayetteville, Georgia for 30 years, Maura's life has been a testament to the power of hard work and helping others. She and her husband, David, share 4 children, 2 grandchildren, and 2 dogs. Maura’s story is not just of personal achievement but also of a steadfast dedication to serving her country and her community.
Enlisting in the United States Army as a Military Policewoman in 1978, Maura quickly recognized the need for change. She rose through the ranks, becoming an Officer and eventually retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel after 26 years of service. Her military career was distinguished by numerous honors, including the General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award, exemplifying her commitment to leadership and excellence.
After retiring from the Army, Maura became a government contractor working to improve the efficiency of our forces. She worked on projects with the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve and the Under Secretary of the Department of Defense for Personnel and Readiness.
Committed to Veterans
Maura's passion for service did not end with her military career. She later pursued another degree as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, which allowed Maura to provide essential care to our veterans at Atlanta’s VA hospital.
Her work with the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Healthcare System underscores her continued commitment to providing outstanding care for veterans and veteran interests.
