Campaign Themes

2011

Nimmer's campaign site details his campaign themes and policy goals:

• "I am running because the people of this district need a voice-- someone who can deliver for them. I have a real opportunity to be a voice for the people of this district and do what's good for everyone. As a small business owner, I know the challenge of creating jobs. We need to rely on small businesses to turn our economy around. They are the heart of our economy. I will work tirelessly to lower taxes and cut burdensome red tape to allow our businesses to expand and add jobs and to attract new businesses and new jobs. I was born and raised right here. I know the values that are important to all of us, and I will stand strong for our conservative values in Atlanta. I can promise you one thing. I will not let you down in Atlanta. I will be a voice for all us, and I will make you proud."
