Expand all | Collapse all

My name is Evans T. Primus, Jr. I was born December 9, 1990 in Waycross, Georgia, in the lineage of Walter A. Myles, my great-great grandfather, and prominent educator. (Professor Myles principled black students during segregation, with the help of his wife, in several counties throughout Southeast Georgia, most notably, Alma, Georgia former mayor, James Dean.) My grandmother is a farmer in Pierce County, Georgia. She taught me the importance of agricultural - based living. My mother is a US Navy veteran. She exemplifies integrity, success, courage, and commitment in work and school. I graduated from Pierce County High School in 2009. I attended The Arts Institute of Atlanta and other colleges from 2009 to 2016. I've studied and have the basic knowledge of welding, business administration, audio production, automotive painting and repair. I play many musical instruments. Most recently, I delve into historical studies and science in my leisure to broaden the Dynamics of creative thinking. I believe that this candidacy is an opportunity for me to help others looking up to me.
  • I am confident in my ability to represent and assist communities within Georgia, District 176. I will handle myself with integrity and respect as both an individual and a representative.
  • I commit myself to those that depend on me and adhering to community problems. I do not fear the opposition that comes behind the defense of Injustices.
  • "Community benefits family." I extend my hands to aid local community partners and encourage Citizens to actively participate in communal projects.
I am passionate about education laws and procedures that are essential components of public policy. Education policies streamline the expansion of access to high-quality education, including greater access to higher learning. School laws create standards of quality for learning and safety, as well as its expectations and accountability. Education policy can affect people of all ages.
Characteristics of an elected official include, but are not limited to, that of professionalism, confidence, adaptibility, reliability, transparency and the ability to work well with others.
The House of Representatives core responsibilities include introducing bills and resolutions, offering amendments, serving on committees, performing oversight, and helping constituents in efforts to Serve the People.
I want to be remembered for helping others. My legacy statement is the same as my campaign motto "Believe in Excellence and you should have what you say."
The first historical event that happened in my lifetime that I remember was in 2011 when the US captured Bin Laden. It marked as a victory for America.
My first job was a cashier / Car Hopper with Sonic's restaurant in High School at the age of 16. I stayed at that job seasonally until after graduation.
If I could be any fictional character it would be the Invisible Man.
The last one that got it stuck in my head, in regards to the nation, was "America-the Beautiful."
The powers of the House of Representatives make it unique as an institution . The House has several powers assigned exclusively to it, including the power to initiate Revenue bills, impeach Federal officials, and elect the President in the case of an electoral college tie.
"Freshness has ruled," even in politics. Voters choose the least experienced Governor or Senator in the field. No one has been elected directly from the body to the presidency or vice presidency since 1880 and 1932. But it doesn't seem to count against you either.
I perceive our nation's greatest challenge over the next decade to be self-preservation; maintaining, protecting and keeping desires to live well.

Evaluating how much stuff protective distancing you may need to connect constantly with another, and exposure to excessive loads of stress can lead to burn out, depression, and emotional anxiety.

 I encourage American citizens to keep moral principles, styles of life, cultural Heritage, and economic advantages in existence.
The most impactful personal stories that I have heard, as a Candidate, came from residents that expressed their concerns for the community rather than issues that affects their individual household.
