Issue Position

I stand for responsible stewardship of Georgia's natural resources, for their protection and appropriate development. I am working to encourage a slowly growing awareness that maintaining natural resources can be beneficial economically. Sustainable use of our resources, particularly our large amount of forestland, and our beautiful natural settings that encourage recreation and tourism, can make considerable contributions to our economy. However, we should not be willing to sacrifice natural resources if we think we can make money doing so; it may be faster, but it is shortsighted.
