| Info | Taryn was born in Athens, GA, and moved to Atlanta in 1975, at the age of six when her father, Nick Chilivis, was appointed State Revenue Commissioner. She is a graduate of The Lovett School, and of SMU in Dallas, TX where she studied business accounting and communications.
Taryn’s first job was in the Turner legal department helping plan for the 1990 Goodwill Games. She also helped run the low-first camera at the Braves games and acted as floor director for “Good News” at Turner Sports. Bowman’s career path has included working at the Babbitt & Reiman advertising agency, working at Dorsey-Alston as a real estate agent, teaching 1st grade in at Lovett, working as the youth director at the Pacific Palisades Community United Methodist Church in CA, acting in films such as “Kingpin” and “Me, Myself, and Irene” out of Los Angeles where she earned her Screen Actors Guild (SAG) membership, working for the Georgia Department of Labor in its Distance Learning Center producing training videos for the state, working in the production and locations departments on the TV show “Nash Bridges” in San Francisco during its final seasons, working in the production accounting department for several big budget films shot in Atlanta including “Drumline” and “We Are Marshall,” starting her own film production company, and writing a computer program specifically for Atlanta tax incentives, payroll, and set budgeting in the film industry. She also has her real estate broker’s license.
Taryn is a small business owner of Cast My Home, LLC where she acts as the liaison between the GA film industry and our neighborhood communities and homeowners. Her company protects homeowners and neighborhoods affected by the ever-growing film industry in Georgia while ensuring a good relationship with the incoming movie productions.
Taryn has always been heavily involved in public service. In 1990, she won an award at the Shepherd Spinal Center for the most volunteer hours. She served on her children’s public school PTA where she chaired the annual publication of the school’s art & literary magazine and implemented and ran the spirit club for the students to focus on student spirit, confidence, ownership, and leadership.
Taryn was on the board that opened the doors of Brookhaven Innovation Academy, a state charter school in its second year and thriving. She is endorsed by Brookhaven City Councilman, Bates Madison, for her efforts in this endeavor.
Taryn has lived and served in District 40 for more than 15 years. She has been on her 1,200 home neighborhood board for the past six years where she has accomplished much as president, membership chair, and tech from raising $33,000 in private funds to purchase an official city police car for her community and pay the police $150,000 annually to keep her neighborhood safe. She also joined the Board of Equalization on her neighbors’ behalf to delve into relevant property tax issues and find solutions.
Taryn is a member of the Church of the Apostles. She is married to Pete Bowman and has three children, Annabelle (14), Noelle (12), and Daley (11). She has two rescue dogs, Spirit and Ginger. She is also endorsed by the ultimate Dawgs, Vince and Barbara Dooley.
ISSUES
Education: We must localize public school control, empowering teachers and parents to drive innovation in the classroom. We must also ensure that each child has a place that best suits their needs and allows them to thrive.
Transportation: The best solutions for transportation will start at the local level, allowing communities to craft solutions best suited for their residents. We must find ways to use existing railways to craft these solutions without burdening taxpayers with new, expensive expansion projects.
Taxes: I celebrate the recent announcement of reducing Georgia’s income tax, but we can do more! The new fees that are being tacked onto new legislation must end, and I support the passage of any legislation that requires any fees that are collected go to their explicit purpose.
Opioid Crisis: The growing addiction to opioids in Georgia is at a crisis point. We must engage leaders at all levels to aggressively fight the illicit distribution of legal opioids and provide treatment to those addicted in order to avoid further abuse.
Ending Sex Trafficking: Atlanta’s distinction as an international center for sex trafficking is an unwelcome one. State resources must be poured into finding and punishing the purveyors of this despicable practice, and provide protection to the young men and women that are often dragged into such a situation against their will.
Elder Abuse: We have an aging population, and there are predators who find targets to exploit. Our State has an obligation to protect seniors by providing resources and training to local authorities who are in a position to serve at-risk individuals.
Senior Homestead Exemption: Seniors who live on fixed incomes must be provided tax relief by passing a Fulton County senior homestead exemption as well as ensuring Cobb County continues to provide on to the seniors living there.
