Mateo Sanabria

Mateo Sanabria is the Democratic candidate for the Georgia House of Representatives, District 28, in the November 3, 2026 general election, facing incumbent Brent Cox.[1] A software developer who was 23 when he completed his Ballotpedia survey in 2025, he says he is running to make Georgia more affordable and to bring more young people into government.[1][2]

Sanabria was born in Atlanta, graduated from Forsyth Central High School, and earned a bachelor's degree from Georgia State University in 2023.[1] Ballotpedia lists his career experience as working as a programmer and says that, as of 2025, he was affiliated with Young Democrats of Georgia, Forsyth County Democrats and Hall County Democrats.[1] In his survey, he described himself as the son of two Colombian immigrant business owners and a software developer.[2]

Sanabria said in the survey that he would hold regular town hall meetings, that more young people are needed in government, and that government should be transparent and focused on protecting people from corporate interests.[2] He said legislation should aim to make Georgia more equitable in legal, educational and healthcare terms.[2]
