JaNice Frey Van Ness is a former American Republican politician from Georgia. Van Ness narrowly defeated Democratic State Representative Tonya Anderson in a December 1, 2015, runoff election for the then vacant State Senate District 43 seat, which covers portions of DeKalb, Rockdale, and Newton Counties.

The seat was vacant following Ronald Ramsey's resignation in July 2015 to become a judge on the DeKalb County traffic court.

Van Ness served two four-year terms as a Rockdale County commissioner. She was defeated in her 2014 re-election bid.

In the 2016 General Election, Van Ness had a rematch contest with Democrat Tonya Anderson, in which Van Ness was unseated.
