Not everyone is privileged enough to call their hometown their home as well. I count myself in that lucky few. I was born and raised in my district, and have seen everything change as we advance in capabilities and goals for our cities and state. I am business-minded and focused, and enjoy the support of the business community here in Georgia. We are the number one state in the nation to do business. That comes with an eye to fiscal responsibility and a desire to better ourselves through innovation, while addressing current issues with common sense and pragmatism. I am committed to rising above party politics to ensure our continued success as a state, and fixing issues that affect us all like reducing crime, investing in infrastructure, stopping human trafficking, eliminating government waste, supporting our law enforcement, and making sure residents feel safe.
- RISE - which stands for Reducing Crime, Investing in our Infrastruture, Stopping Human Trafficking, and Eliminating Government Waste. We have made strides in several, through our criminal justice reform under former Governor Nathan Deal to reducing some degree of government waste through our quasi-zero based budgeting system and the efforts of the GRACE Commission under the direction of First Lady Marty Kemp which tackles human trafficking. However, I believe we still have much work to do.
- Public Safety - We are facing a troubling time in our nation where civil unrest is no longer confined to the set of a television. It has spilled over into our commercial areas, our residential streets, and now come in the form of violence against businesses, fellow citizens, and the officers we place our trust and safety in. This is something we cannot tolerate. I stand firm on the Constitutional Principal that all men were created equal and you have the right to Peaceably Assemble. Therefore, we must make it clear that though we stand with those who wish to express their pain, outrage, and hurt, there cannot be an escalation to violence. Citizens have the right to feel safe in their own homes, and their safety is of paramount importance.
- Bipartisanship - My family stems from two long political lines. My father's side had my grandfather, Bert Lance, who served in President Carter's Cabinet. My mother's side being conservative, with many working for Republican lawmakers. My mother and father, diametrically opposed politically, had one rule. Don't talk politics. We violated that rule loudly and often. As someone who grew up in a divided household, the ability to work across the aisle and compromise is critical. For too long we have expected the bare minimum out of our elected officials. It is common place for petty squabbles and a lackadaisical attitude to infect the halls of Congress and our bedrock institutions. We should expect better. We deserve better and we demand better
Largely the areas of fiscal responsibility. I was raised by a single mother. She had to manage 4 children, schooling, extra-curricular activities, play dates, vacations, etc - all while managing the challenges of being the President of Chastain Horse Park, an incredibly successful non-profit in Atlanta that focuses on children with disabilities and has fundamentally transformed the surrounding neighborhoods. She taught me the value of a well-balanced checkbook and living within our means while giving me a first-hand look at the waste that happens in the government.
My grandfather was the head of a country bank in North Georgia called the National Bank of Georgia. He was able to grow the bank into a regional presence because he didn't push beyond his means.
Although September 11th, 2001 it is not the first historical event I remember, it is the most impactful. I saw my teachers in tears as we watched America change forever. I recall how you couldn't drive down the streets without people stopping you to hand out American flags, blessing you, and flashing a friendly smile your way. For a brief moment, we saw first hand what truly made America great. That moment will always stand out in my memories as the day and time where during our darkest time, our light shined brighter than it ever has - and we haven't seen it since.
My very first job was driving a golf cart to give rides to concert-attendees at Chastain Amphitheater. I only earned tips so I quickly learned to be conversational on a multitude of subjects. I continued in that position among several other part-time jobs until I left for college at North Georgia College and State University, one of 6 Senior Military Colleges in the United States.
The Constitutional one.
