InfoA native Georgian and Athens resident since 1986, Jane Kidd’s career and community service involvement has prepared her well for the job of State Representative. Jane began her political career at age 27, serving three two-year terms on the Lavonia City Council. She was also a member of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs Task Force on Community Development Block Grant Programs.

Representative Kidd has been involved in a wide array of community activities. She has served as a Board Member for the following organizations: Georgia and Clarke County Clean and Beautiful, Junior League of Athens, Girls Scouts of Northeast Georgia, Tour of Homes Chair, Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation, Reunion Chair of the UGA National Alumni Association, Clute Barrow Nelson Life Foundation and EarthShare of Georgia. She has also chaired the Clarke County Mentor Program Steering Commission and the Alumni Program of Leadership Athens.

She has worked for and consulted with colleges and universities nationwide, including the University of Georgia. This experience gives her an excellent understanding of the complexities of higher education, especially important because the 115th District is home to the main campus of UGA, the largest employer in Athens-Clarke County.

A native of Lavonia, Representative Kidd has been married 30 years to David Kidd and they have 2 children, Elizabeth, 26 who is a membership representative for PAGE, and Alex, 21 who is attending Ole Miss. Kidd is a cum laude graduate of the University of Georgia. As daughter of the late former Governor S. Ernest Vandiver and grandniece of the late U.S. Senator Richard B. Russell, Jane grew up with a deep rooted sense of commitment to the community and political service. Presently, she is serving as a member of the Education, Health & Human Services and Higher Education.
