Reason for Seeking Public Office:
No potential candidate for office can list every prospective issue, or area of concern, on a neat list. This is why it is vital to elect the right person to represent our community in Atlanta. I believe that in most instances there is a right and wrong answer if a vote is cast based on principals and choosing conscience over politics.
Knowing that we are all flawed and make mistakes, I promise to work tirelessly to honor your trust by weighing each decision against Biblical standards and choosing conscience over politics. I look forward to representing you in Atlanta. If there is anything you need, or anything you want to talk about as it relates to our district, you can reach me by sending an email to bill@VoteForBill.com which goes directly to my phone.
