A lifetime of service.
A future built for District 83.

Jason Payne is a devoted man of faith, a proud husband and father, an Army veteran, and a lifelong learner whose life has been guided by his faith, family, and service to country. A native of New Orleans, Jason spent more than two decades serving under the American flag in the United States Army, leading with integrity, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to those around him. His journey has taken him across the nation and around the world, but in 2018, he and his family chose North Augusta as the place to put down roots and call home.

Grounded in his faith and inspired by the values that make America strong, Jason believes that strong families and strong communities are the foundation of a prosperous future. After years of answering the call to serve our nation, he is once again stepping forward—this time to serve the people of South Carolina House District 83. Grateful for the safe, welcoming, and close-knit community that embraced his family, Jason is committed to giving back through servant leadership, common-sense solutions, and a dedication to preserving the values that matter most.

Service is woven into the fabric of Jason’s life. He and his wife met while serving on active duty in the U.S. Army, building a family rooted in faith, love, and sacrifice. His family’s legacy of military service spans nearly every branch of the armed forces, reflecting a deep respect for the freedoms and opportunities represented by the American Flag. That legacy instilled in him the values of duty, personal responsibility, sacrifice, and putting others before self—principles that continue to guide his leadership today.

For Jason Payne, public service isn’t a new chapter; it’s a lifelong calling. Guided by faith, strengthened by family, and inspired by a love for America, Jason is ready to serve District 83 with honor, humility, and a steadfast commitment to the people he hopes to represent.
