In our culture, we often hear the call for trust, but too frequently those asking for our trust turn a corner and forget about us. Earning trust comes with building relationships that establish a history of accountability. I have many of those long-time relationships with family and friends across District 2 and look forward to making new friends and building new relationships.
What can be done to make local and/or state government more transparent to the public?
The rotation of our government representatives can help prevent cronyism, corruption and stagnation. Our vote is critical in keeping our government transparent. When we become complacent our voices become dull and our government’s transparency decreases. Informed voters help keep our representatives accountable.
The greatest challenges your constituents face that elected office would allow you to address and how you would address them.
During the past year, the rights of Georgians have been challenged by our federal government. States’ Rights must be protected and I will voice this in our legislature. Next, our
taxes fund government and we should require efficiency from each government agency. I will work to implement a process improvement program where we reward state employees who submit cost-saving suggestions that are proven to reduce our government expenditure. Finally, I will fight against any bill that infringes on our Second Amendment and will support legislation to protect life.
People who have influenced your thinking
My parents are the ones who most influenced my thinking. Dad loved to pull for the underdog, whether in sports or life he loved to see those who statistically shouldn’t win overcome the odds. He and mom both exemplified serving within our family by making self-sacrifices for the good of others. Whether dad was mowing a neighbor’s yard or mom was cooking a meal for a homebound friend, I watched as they served without seeking reward. I have been blessed to have many great influencers in my life, such as Robbie Robertson, John Puryear, David Chapman and Larry Draper. Each of these and others pointed me to follow Jesus Christ and by example influenced my thinking about serving others.
