I am a REAL Republican, here to give District 32 the pro-life, pro-freedom & pro-prosperity representation it deserves. I also have a strong plan for prosperity at the state and national level.
  • Corporations-funded Kay Kirkpatrick sided with the democrats on abortion (opposed the heartbeat bill), immigration, gun control (opposed campus carry) and is often the one or few "Republicans" giving power to the Democrat side on major issues, as pro-life and pro-freedom gains in Georgia are at risk. District 32 is an ~62 percent Republican district, and only like 10% of people don't vote party line. There isn't even a democrat running for this seat. We can and should have a strong Republican with a strong prosperity plan representing us -- not a quasi-democrat with purple yard signs in deep red Cherokee county.
  • I have a great prosperity & tax cuts plan designed to return about $100,000 in savings to each taxpayer on average over their lifetime by implementing a powerful state e-Verify system to deter illegal immigration and by moving highly-taxpayer-subsidized expensive university courses to be online recorded lectures where people can conveniently get ~no cost degrees. This is a huge convenience to the student and a huge savings to the taxpayers.
  • I am a political realist, but I am not going to be a flip-flopper, and I am willing to politically fight hard for what is right, and to take this Republican 2.0 platform to the national level. I have a prosperity plan that advances both democrats and republicans together, in an inspiring platform that can win this election and future elections for the party.
I hope to serve on the Higher Education, Judiciary, Health & Human Services, Appropriations & Rules Committees, as I have strong initiatives in all of these areas.

I am here to save as many lives as I can and do the most good I can with my life, to the glory of Jesus Christ.

"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people" - Galatians 6:10a

"And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" - Matthew 22:39

“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” – Proverbs 22:1

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” – Matthew 25:40
To provide the people with great and appropriately responsive government and legislation.
One that, by loving others well and serving them well, gets me a great and well-rewarded resurrection when Jesus Christ returns.
