Taxes & budget: “Since taking office, I've been on the BUDGET COMMITTEE, JOINT SPECIAL SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE and INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE.”
(Campaign website) Taxes & budget: “Every dollar the city spends comes through the Budget Committee. The past four years have been an extraordinary learning experience for me. My work outside of my city role requires me to manage finances, understand the return on investment and be flexible when it comes to priorities.”
(Campaign website) Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Out of the four years I've been in office, I voted against three city budgets. Why? B ecause there was too much spending in the budget coupled with the boost in assessments you were seeing. It was a double-whammy on top of record setting inflation we were seeing.”
(Campaign website) Taxes & budget: “I don't just vote NO, I offer real-world solutions to help ease the tax burden on you. I scrutinize large capital projects to make sure it's worth the large investment. The biggest responsibility as leaders in this city is to allocate capital. We must be mindful and accountable to our residents.”

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “All my life I have fought to secure greater opportunity. Son of working-class immigrants. Traveling two hours one-way to attend a good public school. Working multiple jobs as a teenager to help support a single-mother-led household. The challenges facing working families and communities throughout House District 59 are not just theoretical for me — I lived it.”
(Campaign website) Proud to Serve You: “As a father, I want my sons and all children to be valued by the communities in which they live. To do this, we need strong leadership that can meet people where they are today, fully represent their experiences, and build for a better future.”
(Campaign website) Proud to Serve You: “I’m proud to serve as your Representative from the 59th District.”
(Campaign website) Education & schools: “The ladder to opportunity for too many Georgians is broken. Hard work is important, but it is not always enough. We need investments in housing, public education, and healthcare that build strong communities and a thriving middle class across Georgia.”
