Burnett, 34, works in the technology industry and holds a degree from Samford University. He and his wife have three children. Prior to seeking the Post 2 seat, he served on the planning commission in Alpharetta.
In October, Burnett told the AJC he got into the race because "the density and traffic is choking the average homeowner who put a stake in the ground."
