His campaign facebook says "Jay Lin is a first-generation legal immigrant to America, a successful small business owner, dedicated public servant, and lifelong conservative running for GA house 50."

Weird, his website linked from FB is down.

His official campaign website is, correct. Likely because he is not running for anything and doesn't want to pay to maintain it.

Found the connection!

"Jay Lin replaced Brad Raffensperger, in 2015 when Brad resigned from the city council to run for State Rep. Brad heavily promoted Jay Lin to fill the seat. Although Jay Lin marketed himself as a fiscal conservative, he was far from it."

Apparently he ran and lost a state legislature and city council seat, so I am betting he is a US citizen. Might be dual though.

Not sure if it the same guy who is trying to get China to not restrict billboard adverts there, as the pic above is low res.

I was told he is an immigrant from Taiwan. Can anyone confirm?
