Jonathan McColumn earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Georgia College in 1986 and master's degrees from Elmira College (1992), Webster University (2002), and U.S. Army War College (2010). His career includes serving as a clergyman, a General Officer in the U.S. Army, and an instructor at Phoenix University. He is running for election to the U.S. Senate to represent Georgia in the Republican primary on May 19, 2026.
McColumn's campaign website from 2022 expressed a strong stance against altering the filibuster rule in the U.S. Senate. He viewed the filibuster as a crucial check and balance, preventing what he described as the nationalization of elections through the 'John Lewis Voting Rights Act' and the transformation of the U.S. into a 'more socialistic country' with increased deficits via the 'Build Back Better Act'. He noted the failure of Democrats to modify the filibuster in January 2020 as 'great news for the U.S.'.
