Economy, jobs & cost of living: “"It's truly an honor to represent you in the Georgia Senate. In Atlanta, I have defended our Northeast Georgia values against the rising wave of socialism and the radical left while working to expand and safeguard our constitutional rights. While our federal government continues to crush families under the burden of record-high inflation, infringe upon our constitutional rights, and indoctrinate our children, I have been on the frontline of the fight to lower taxes for Georgians, and expand our Second Amendment rights.” (Campaign website)
Priorities & campaign themes: “I was raised in this community and my wife, Ashley, and I are blessed to be raising our daughters here. This is why I am passionate about protecting the principles that make our district great. As your State Senator, I will always choose to limit government by empowering families, businesses, and local communities."” (Campaign website)

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “As your state Senator, my three top priorities must be: 1) protect Georgia’s election system so that everyone’s voice is heard and their vote counted, 2) prevent corruption and prosecute those who violate the public trust— rather than re-write laws to protect them, and 3) assure that government agencies do their jobs. I will author legislation that elevates Georgia’s low rankings in health, education, and wages, and block economic opportunism that relies on subsidizing corporations with our hard-earned tax dollars.” (Campaign website)
I’ve devoted my entire life in service to America: “The Georgia legislature needs members who understand the working people, and who already know how to govern. I understand the vast difference between for-profit companies and public service. I took an oath to defend the Constitution, and I will actively oppose those that undermine it.” (Campaign website)
