| Collapse all
- Truth. Clear, incontrovertible facts identifying the harder right instead of the easier wrong.
- Transparency. Being open, honest, credible as seen by my constituents.
- Trust. The sum of truth and transparency. Being accountable to and being held accountable by my constituents each day, every day without exception.
Better Jobs for South Cobb. We must sustain Cobb's position as the #1 County in the #1 State to do business.
Build a Stronger, Peaceful Community. We must properly fund our public safety and first responders while simultaneously fight organized gang activity in the area. Citizens should also be protected in their rights to defend themselves with the right to bear arms. More so than ever, Georgia must continue to do more in fighting the scourge of human trafficking while standing up and defending the sanctity of life.
