I have been a resident of Georgia since I was 6 years old when my family moved from San Diego, CA to Cartersville, GA in 1967. I am an independent contractor with 39 years of experience in construction work as the owner of my own company Ceramic Tile Works in North Georgia. I have been active in politics since 2015 assisting many campaigns in various roles as well as parade committees, at first with the Cobb GOP and later with the Cherokee GOP as the Precinct Chair of the Sutallee Precinct. I've participated in four County, District and State Conventions and was elected as a Voting Member in the 11th District Committee in 2020. My life knowledge and work ethic will be an advantage to the 32nd Senate District. Through my experiences as a business owner and my involvement in local politics, I have seen the issues we are facing in Georgia and I understand how our government works. Because of those experiences and my values grounded in my faith in God, I am confident to serve as senator of my district. We all have to work together to make a better Country and State and I will make myself available to my constituents. I want everyone to have a voice.
  • Protect Election Integrity.
  • Protect life, children and parental rights - stop the indoctrination of our children with radical ideologies.
  • Protect our Constitutional Rights and Liberties including medical freedom.
I am an America First and Georgia First Constitutional Conservative Candidate and believe in voting for laws that support our Georgia and U.S. Constitutions, especially the First and Second Amendments in the Bill of Rights. I am running to ensure election integrity and replace the current abusive Georgia Income Tax System with a consistent, fair, and reliable Retail Sales Tax Revenue System. We must protect our children from radical indoctrination, unnecessary mask mandates, and forced untested vaccine programs. I am Pro-Life and believe that the preborn child, from conception to birth, has all legal protections. All stages of life, until natural death, are entitled to the right to life, the right to any available treatment, and full protection for the longevity of life.


Our Founding Father, my ancestor Benjamin Harrison V. One of the four authors and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a man of honor, firmly committed to public service, and a champion of the rights and liberties of the people.
Honesty, integrity, and upholding Constitutional Law.
Leadership, Keen Awareness, Honesty, Problem Solving Skills
To be the eyes and ears of your district.
Statemanship
I recall the period of time when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. As a child, I remember the cloud of darkness of the time and was greatly disturbed and moved by the tragedy of his death. I was only 7 years old.
At 14 years old, I had my own paper route delivering the neighborhood newspaper as well as handling my client accounts by selling subscriptions and collecting payments.
The Bible - because of life lessons learned.
Right Now by Van Halen
Keeping an open line of communication between the Governor and the Legislators.
Maintaining the foundations of our Constitutional as well as keeping alive the Rule of Law.
The benefit of a unicameral state legislature is to more rapidly form a consensus. The drawbacks would be more hasty decisions could be made without jurisdiction.
I believe that a wide range of experience is needed to be considered a qualified candidate.
Of course it important we work together.
Fair and accurate account of the census reporting.
Infrastucture, energy/utilities, agriculture & consumer, industries and labor and motor vehicles & transportation.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
I will have to wait and see on that.
I am appalled at how parents are mistreated and are being labeled at local school board meetings as domestic terrorists for voicing their concerns regarding the indoctrination of their own children.
Yes
Yes, it is important to work together to accomplish mutual goals.
