Priority Issues:

1. Foster Job Creation - Align policy, education, hiring organizations to incubate new ventures, focusing on High-tech & Green Industry focus to attract funding & youth, promote buying locally owned & American 2. Maintain Educational Quality - Make Education a budgetary priority, compete for and win Federal aid, hire and retain top professionals to work with our most valuable asset 3. Stabilize home values - initiate judicial process to prevent foreclosures, absentee builders honor contracts

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Bring back true amd ethical public service to the citizens of our area. Develop the synergy and cooperation between education, business and policy that will keep Georgia off the bottom of many key indices vital for job creation and continuity. Work with all resources to develop a strategic framework allowing a tactical approach to career development, educational quality, to stabilize home values, improve transportation options, return banking stewardship, smart growth, and responsible budgeting.
