Campaign themes
Alexander's campaign site details his campaign themes:
- "In these tough economic times, we need a leader who will fight to respect our tax dollars by spending our money wisely and lowering taxes on our families. With two of my kids in our public schools, I will fight everyday to preserve vital education funding and protect our schools. As a man of faith, I can promise you that I will fight for our conservative values in Atlanta."
