Born and raised in Adel, Georgia, Vance Dean is a traditional, conservative Southern businessman and a dedicated family man. Vance and his wife Karen share a commitment to raising their children, Kaylin, Kelsey, Owen, and Ellie, to share their conservative values and strong work ethic. The Dean family also includes Scout, a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, and five rescue pups - Angel, Miley, Ella, Liberty, and Sweetheart.
After graduating from Cook County High School, Vance studied political science and history at Valdosta State University. His career resume includes professional golfer, financial services expert, business consultant, and entrepreneur. In addition to his professional career, Vance has worked in politics for many years, starting as a volunteer for the Reagan/Bush campaign in 1984.

In his role as chairman, he reinstated the 8th District Fish Fry. As an alternate delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention, Vance cast a vote for President Trump.
Farming has played a major role in Vance’s life, beginning in his childhood when he helped on his grandparents’ farm in Chaserville, Georgia, doing everything from selling melons to planting, plowing, and crop dusting. As an adult, Vance continues his family’s agricultural tradition, growing pecans on his land just outside Adel. His direct and personal ties to agriculture have given Vance an intuitive knowledge of the problems and issues facing farmers and a much deeper understanding than could be gained from simply reading a report on Georgia farmers.
Vance’s faith and religious beliefs have guided him throughout his personal and professional life. He and his family attend First Baptist Church in Adel, where Vance has volunteered in various positions, including being a Christian youth group leader in AWANA, for 13 years. As a businessman and a family man, Vance Dean exemplifies traditional, conservative, family values. These principles have guided his life and will influence all of his future decisions.

As an active participant in my local community, I know the importance of being connected to the people around you, especially when it comes to representing their voices when making decisions.
In my experience as Georgia's 8th District Republican Chairman, I've gotten to know that many people do share my view that we need to replace the career politicians in Congress running up our national debt, delivering broken promises, and lacking leadership.
