Charles E. Martin Jr. (born July 20, 1961) is an American politician. He is a Republican representing the 49th district in the Georgia House of Representatives.
Martin was a City Councillor in Alpharetta, Georgia from 1993 to 1995, and mayor from 1996 to 2002.[1] Martin has represented District 49 in the Georgia House of Representatives since 2003, and has been the Chairman of the Higher Education Committee since 2019. [2]
