Expand all | Collapse all

I've been a business owner for 25+ years, building teams and offices around the USA. I was the President of the National Slate Assoc for 5 years and still sit on the board. My goals are to help as many Georgians as possible by reducing crime, increasing parental rights and voices, reducing taxes, increasing public safety and taking actions to help all GA businesses thrive.
  • Fighting for individual freedoms.
  • Fighting crime, funding the police & making sure the Atlanta crime doesn't move any farther into Gwinnett
  • I will work to find solutions that bring the parties together so we can help all of the people in our district.
Crime Reduction.

Securing personal liberties.
Parental rights in the education of their children & removing CRT.
Securing religious freedoms.
Working to reduce local taxes & regulations on the tax payers and on businesses.

Listening to the people and doing everything I can to be the leader they need, this is not about me, it's about them and what I can do for them.
One that listens to all constituents and follows the path that his constituents want and are for the best for all involved. They do NOT take special interest money or favors to sway their vote.
I'm usually able to solve complex problems very quickly.

I can make sane decisions despite any situations or noise or distractions going on around me. I can be focused without any issues.

I am very skilled at getting people with different ideas & concepts to work together towards a common goal.
To follow the hearts of their constituents and do the best for Georgia and the US
I just want to make sure that I have done all I could to help as many people as possible.
Being born in America to Chinese parents who didn't speak a lick of English, it was very challenging in my early years in school due to not having anyone at home speak English.
The ideal relationship is one of trust and working toward the common goal of the best outcome for the citizens as Georgians and the United States.
There are several:

Legitimate and secure voting by US citizens, counted properly
Education so that people are versed in common civics, common daily life and living, and being productive
Drug education and Drug rehabilitation

Maintaining a thriving economy
A unicameral state legislature allows the legislatures to be more familiar with each other and be more able to communicate with each other.
While it's helpful, I believe it's more helpful to be in business or in a setting where one has had to get concrete products that are measurable.
Absolutely. It's always best to have as many relationships as possible to allow for the exchange of ideas and to understand different points of view to get to the best outcome.
What do you call cheese that's not yours?

Nacho Cheese 😂
In general - NO. The government already has too much power. It should only be in very extreme cases.
Yes, one has to be able to get agreement between various lines of thinking to get policies that are the best for the group.
