Byron Gatewood/Gatewood for Congress

Byron Gatewood is a U.S. Army officer, small business owner, husband and father, and devoted Christian who worships at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in East Cobb.

He enlisted in the National Guard as a college student in the wake of the September 11th attacks and was deployed to Afghanistan during what would have been his junior year. Upon returning, he graduated from Louisiana State University (LSU) and earned a commission on to active duty. He served as an intelligence officer abroad and partnered with the Israel Defense Forces and NATO allies in efforts to make the Middle East more secure for Americans and their allies.

After a decade on active duty, Byron attended Cornell University earning an MBA before settling in Georgia with his wife Ashley. He owns and operates two small businesses that employ over two dozen Georgians. Like many small business owners, Byron was hit hard by the COVID-19 lockdowns, but kept the lights on, and knows what Congress needs to do to get small businesses back on their feet to create good paying jobs for Peach State families.

As a conservative, Byron will work to oppose costly tax hikes and support a government that respects the rights of states, while defending interests abroad. He is a proven conservative who Georgians can trust to stand up for you and oppose Washington, D.C.’s assault on your values and encroachment into every aspect of your life.

Donna Linden/Trinity Staffing and Career Resources

Donna Linden is the Founder & CEO of Trinity Staffing and Career Resources a BBB A+ Rated Accredited Business located in Lawrenceville, GA.

After a 25-year corporate career in the insurance industry, Donna Linden founded Trinity Staffing and Career Resources after hearing a story of a friend registering with a staffing agency. Getting a job was the most important thing in her friend’s life as her family needed the money. Yet, the staffing agency treated her like a number, did not follow up with phone calls, and she felt her messages were ignored. Trinity Staffing and Career Resources was birthed out of wanting to show the love of God to people who are in a job transition, and to provide them with career opportunities. Her company provides direct hire placement for various industries including insurance, business professional services, financial services/banking, and IT.

Volunteerism and serving the community are essential to Donna. She not only wants to make an impact in the lives of others through job placement, but she also wants to make an indelible impact in her community through volunteerism. Donna was born in Jamaica, but was raised in Mount Vernon, New York. She graduated from the Howard University School of Business. She is a licensed property & casualty agent in Georgia and has earned four prestigious insurance designations: CIC, AINS, CSRM, and CISR. She is a licensed minister and the coordinator of the Career Ministry at Berean Christian Church in Gwinnett. Donna serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the Peachtree Corners Business Association, and is an active member of the Gwinnett Chamber.
