Maurice studied Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in Tennessee before moving to Atlanta to begin his career nearly 30 years ago. He currently works as a Senior Network Engineer in the Atlanta area.
  • We have very serious problems ahead of us as a country and a state. With another world war and economic crisis looming it's paramount that our upcoming representatives take real action to get ahead of the troubles to come. We need to set aside partisan grand standing and pull together to make the real needed structural changes that can ensure our citizens are protected.
  • A first priority should be to build up our economy by re-examining our tax and spending posture. Inflation is affecting the most vulnerable of residents; those with a fixed income and lower income and a big contributor to that is government spending.
  • Equally important is the issue of illegal immigration which has a direct effect on everything from housing, employment, educational resources, and public safety. If we can't even take care of our citizen homeless and jobless, how can we think to help the thousands streaming across the open borders. We need to get our priorities straight.
I have great interest in ensuring that the constitutional rights of the citizens of Georgia are upheld. As such I am passionate about topics such as ensuring health freedom, parental rights, economic opportunity, and educational reforms.
Everyone has something good to contribute. As humans we are all flawed so looking up to any particular person is fool hardy in my humble opinion. I prefer to learn by making mistakes.
I would recommend everyone revisit the constitution and its preamble. Everything else I could recommend is underpinned by those documents.
Honesty, integrity, prioritize the residents first.
I don't want to make a career out of this. I simply see a problem that needs to be solved and I believe I can contribute to a solution.
Ensure that the people's tax money is spent on things that actually help the people. To make, update, and when necessary get rid of laws.
That's a little premature. Let me get the job first.
Probably the fall of the berlin wall in 1989. I was 11.
I worked as a gardener's assistant. It was during high school and lasted about a year.
That question is unanswerable. I read too many books.
Saitama from One Punch Man. He's the animated equivalent of Peter Seller's Chance from Being There.
Pop Muzik by the band M
Certainly it should NOT be adversarial. The legislature makes the laws, the governor implements and enforces them. My observation as civilian has been that the two parties are not often respecting that boundary.
I prefer to think of the opportunities. We have the opportunity to step up and become a pioneer in the energy business, as well as becoming a bigger player in the transportation and manufacturing industries. All much needed resources.
No.
Yes. Each legislator is just one vote. If they mean to make any progress with their initiatives they will have to build relationships and form allies on all sides.
No.
No.
I think specific stories are for the authors to tell them, but I would say that I hear very similar stories from those that I've spoken to. The consensus is that we have far more in common than not which makes me hopeful that an honest and straightforward approach can achieve more than the current partisanship I've seen.
Knock, knock...
Yes.
I would introduce a health freedom bill that makes it illegal to fire an employee based on their personal health decisions. An employer whether government or private should not be able to affect a persons livelihood in that way and there should be steep consequences for those that attempt it in the future.
Governmental Affairs

House Health and Human Services

Technology and Infrastructure Innovation
The government works for us, not the other way around. There should be very little that the government does that isn't readily accessible to the public. Lack of transparency and accountability breeds corruption.
Depends. If the integrity and security of the votes could be safeguarded, I would not be against it.
