Red clay, tall pine tress, the Atlanta skyline at night, the South Georgia plains, the north Georgia mountains, the beautiful cold and crisp Chattahoochee river. The love we have for all things beautiful about our state. A melting pot of people and places.

The Masters, Georgia football Saturday’s, Atlanta Falcons Sunday’s, Braves games on hot Summer Nights, and Hawks games under bright lights.

These things are what I love. These are the attributes that make our state the best. A place for you and me. For everyone to feel proud and included in all the majestic beauty she has to offer and ability for all to prosper. Prosper without the government standing in your way.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Representation for all people based on geographical and socioeconomic differences.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No.

No, you will be called when you are ready.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

No, I am my own person and will serve those under the circumstances of the present, not the past.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Homelessness in our district is very high and the desire to help has been neglected for too long.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Yes, everyone has a different definition for justice. Therefore, we must understand what one defines something or someone as being just. God gave us two ears and one mouth. We are to listen twice as much as we speak.

Campaign website

Corbin's campaign website stated the following:

“	Key Issues What I will fight for... U.S. TERM LIMITS AMENDMENTS In Michael’s first 100 days in office, he will publicly list all member of Congress currently serving over three years. He will demand an on the record statement for why they do not support term limits, when over 82% of registered voters agree with term limits. Michael will stand shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. Term Limits (USTL) organization and other members of Congress until an Amendment is passed. SECURE OUR BORDERS – PREVENT TERRORISTS & DRUG TRAFFICKERS FROM ENTRY Michael will call for immediate transparency of the current United States border policy. He will demand a plan from the Biden Administration on how they plan to curtail future terrorist attacks, drug cartel related crimes, and the American drug epidemic – all stemming from illegal border crossings. If they don’t answer, he won’t stop asking until they do. PUT A STOP TO INFLATION – QUICKLY ROLLBACK THE FAR LEFT’S POLICIES Corbin will expose those in Congress who promote and support ill-fated government spending on entitlement programs. Furthermore, he will do the same on the erroneous, aggressive, and careless green initiatives that make our country energy dependent on others, including our enemies. PARENT VOICES BACK IN EDUCATION – END PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS POLITICAL POKER CHIPS As a father, Michael will not stand for silencing parent’s voices in the Public School System. He will support states that allow open and free speech at school board meetings, condemn those that do not, and prevent federal government involvement from stymying a parent’s opinion. ENERGY INDEPENDENCE Energy independence is vital to the sovereignty of a world power, such as The United States of America. To harness the power and ability to produce and supply our own oil, yet consciously import from our allies and enemies is selfish, reckless, hypocritical and dangerous to our country. We the people of The United Stated of America, will not be held hostage by our government and their ill-fated energy policies that produce energy dependence on foreign entities. The current energy policy, which promotes importing more oil than we consume or export, is a clear and present danger to the national security of our country.	”
