Meet Dr. Cowan
Dr. John Cowan is a neurosurgeon, a small business owner, and a lifelong conservative with ties to the 11th District that go back generations. His family has been part of the Bartow County community since the 1930s — his father serving the community as a physician and his mother as a career schoolteacher. He grew up on his family farm, graduated from Cartersville High School, and has spent decades caring for patients across Georgia’s 11th District.
Beyond the operating room, Dr. Cowan has built and led small businesses that create jobs and serve families throughout the district. John and his wife, Dr. Anne Cowan, are raising four children and are active members of their church, where John serves as an elder.
Dr. Cowan is running for Congress because he believes our country works best when serious people step up to solve serious problems, and he’s ready to deliver results for hardworking Georgians.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives write and vote on federal laws, including the federal budget. Each represents one district and serves a two-year term. Tax bills must start in the House, only the House can impeach federal officials, and members oversee federal agencies through their committees.
