It is my honor to serve as your Republican candidate for Georgia House, Representative - District 106. As your candidate, I stand for Election Integrity, Parent's Rights, Children's Rights, Informed Consent, Safe Communities, and Low Taxes. I vow to do everything in my capacity to solve the unaffordable housing crisis in our communities and to support community policing partnerships and law enforcement reform for a safer Georgia.

You are fantastic and I look forward to representing you at the Georgia General Assembly.
  • I will fight for a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution to stop Uncle Sam's insane spending spree and cut down inflation that is destroying our State and our Country.
  • I will push for increased training requirements for all POST Certified law enforcement officers in the State of Georgia, and I will work to better equip Georgia Law Enforcement to fight crime.
  • I believe that Parents have the exclusive rights to teach, love, and discipline their children and will work with the General Assembly to make School Choice a reality in Georgia.
I stand for Election Integrity, Parent's Rights, School Choice, Children's Rights, Informed Consent, Safe Communities, and Low Taxes. I vow to do everything in my capacity to solve the unaffordable housing and everything crisis in our communities by tackling inflation via Constitutional Amendment. I support community policing partnerships and law enforcement reform for a safer Georgia.
Self-Protectorate: Blueprint For A Better World.
I bring a fresh take and unique perspective to politics. I conduct in-depth analysis of issues to get as complete of a perspective on an issue as possible. I hear my people and I will work with them and my colleagues in developing legislation that will benefit all Georgians.
Self-Protectorate: Blueprint For A Better World. I wrote it.
Experience in government and politics is a plus, but there will always be a need for fresh perspectives and out-of-the box thinking to tackle short-term, long-term, and long standing issues, and legislators with no previous experience in government can help bring those ideas and perspectives into the political processes of the State.
I've never been interested in running for political office until my community needed me to. I am a news junkie and constantly absorb local, state, national, and international issues from a wide variety of news and opinion sources as possible so that I have as full of a perspective on an issue that I can possibly get, I talk to people in my local community about those issues, and then I apply critical thinking skills to draw logical conclusions. Right now, I can't say that I will run for another political office in the future, but if my community needs me to stand-up for them, I most certainly will.
I believe all of us for the most part ultimately want the same things, but we all have different perspectives and see different angles on the way those things can be achieved. Many times there are larger issues that if solved will automatically resolve localized issues. I will work to resolve as many of the large issues as possible, issues such as inflation which affects all facets of our lives. Much of the information on important political issues we see splashed in the media are typically divisive in order to drive ratings. Finding common ground and unity is a priority for my campaign and is the primary way I work with others. There are definite lines that must not be crossed, but I am very willing to work with everyone in producing strong policy that will benefit all Georgians.
