On the political scene of Northeast Georgia, Jamieson was a constant. Before being chosen to represent Georgia in the Georgia House of Representatives in 1984, she served as a Stephens County Commissioner for six years.
She broke down barriers for women while serving as an elected representative in the Georgia House of Representatives for 24 years (1984–2008).
Jamieson was the first woman in Georgia history to serve as the Governor’s Floor Leader and the first woman to chair a significant committee during her term in the legislature. The President’s Award for Innovative Government was given to her.
Jamieson, a tax accountant by profession, lost her 2008 quest for re-election after it was revealed that she had tax issues. Jamieson entered a guilty plea to two charges of misdemeanor tax evasion in 2011. A seat on the Toccoa City Commission was won by the long-serving Democrat in 2013, who maintained the case was political.
