Why should voters trust you?

My voting record is forged in conservati­ve values and principles. It proves I’m a doer. I’m not beholden to any special interest groups or promises, such as the Georgia Chamber. I always represent the values of life and liberty and have the voting record to prove it.

What can be done to make local and/or state government more transparen­t to the public?

First, allow folks to speak at public forums without police interferen­ce. Allowing local government­s to propose their

own local legislatio­n, stop working behind their backs. Stop giving away elected offices like Superior Court Judge as political favors. A State Senator should be an open orator on the Senate floor promoting values in the presence of all.

Challenges your constituen­ts face that elected office would allow you to address and how you would address them

Taxes: A Georgian pays higher taxes than anyone in Tennessee or Alabama. I will oppose omnibus budgets and demand unspent revenue goes to paying our 13+ billion dollar state debt.

Film subsidies: We’re paying tax dollars to bring California ideology into our communitie­s without any benefit. This must stop.

Local officials: Local

officials should never be ruled by the state senator, they should be ruled by their constituen­ts.
