Georgia State House District 131

Priorities & campaign themes: ““To say my family and I love Columbia County would be an understatement. I consider it a privilege to be raised here and to now be raising a family of my own here. I want to be our next State Representative so I can ensure our values are protected and that all Columbia County children have the opportunity to succeed. I would be honored to earn your vote.”” (Campaign website)

THE FOUNDATION FOR A STRONGER GEORGIA: ““Georgia is only as strong as our families, businesses, and local communities. While our state has been named the number one place to do business ten years in a row, we are growing rapidly and must ensure we remain diligent in promoting sound policy and protecting our Georgia values. I will look at every piece of legislation through the lens of being a Christian, a husband and father, and a local entrepreneur.”” (Campaign website)

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “We are hired by our constituents to put in place laws that will guard their physical and economic safety. We must solicit input before we make decisions and communicate the rationale behind the decisions we do make.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

Elections, voting & government reform: “I would like to ensure that Georgia citizens have the opportunity to build meaningful careers and community and can participate as full and equal members or our society through a healthy representative democracy.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

Priorities & campaign themes: “My mom had me volunteering at age 7, the Molly Brown House in Denver as a page. My first paying job was at Burger King as a 14 year old in Hayward, California. I was irritated, because I had to wear a green shirt and everyone else had a red shirt. California had strict child labor laws, and the managers wanted no questions about what time they had to send us green-shirt kids home each day.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

Housing: “I have had a very good life, and I try to keep this good fortune at the forefront of my mind in everything I do, because it's just that-- hard work, of course, but a lot of good fortune. I have had instances here and there when things have gone poorly; we all have. Some of those were serious (my mom and I lived in poverty for a while while I was growing up) and some of those (like figuring out tight finances and parenting) were part of growing and maturing. I do not think I would consider anything a sustained struggle. They are challenges, and facing them leads to an outcome, hopefully for the better.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
