Jason Raul Anavitarte (born June 14, 1978) is an American politician from Georgia. Anavitarte is a Republican member of the Georgia State Senate for District 31.[1]
Before his election to the state Senate, Anavitarte was a member of the Paulding County School Board.[2]
In January 2024, Anavitarte co-sponsored S.B. 390, which would withhold government funding for any libraries in Georgia affiliated with the American Library Association.
