Personal Profile
Born and raised in Canton, Bill Fincher has spent his life protecting Georgia families and standing up for what’s right. Bill’s roots in Cherokee County run deep. His father served the community as a School Board member, Mayor of Canton, and Chair of the County Commission as well as a State Senator for the district.

A graduate of Cherokee High School, Bill earned his bachelor’s degree in Political Science & History from Mercer University, then went on to attend the Woodrow Wilson College of Law before beginning a lifelong career in public service.
