It is apparent that everyone wants a State Representative who is both accessible and attentive to the voters of this district. Our present district representative was neither accessible nor attentive. According to the March 11, 2008 Atlanta Journal Constitution, our current district representative was absent for one out of every three votes cast in the first half of the session and had the third highest absentee rate in the Georgia House of Representatives. (Click here to view the article) We deserve better. We deserve a representative who will be there for us. If I am elected, I will work hard representing all of the citizens of our district to improve our community and address the problems that face the State of Georgia.

I am qualified for and prepared to undertake this job. I have practiced law in a private law firm, represented both state and local governments, and spent time in Washington, D.C working at the federal level. Having received an undergraduate degree in economics and having worked as a banker, I know the importance of spending taxpayer money wisely and reducing government waste. I am running for the Georgia House to put my experience to work for all the people in the 53rd District. I hope I can count on you for your vote in the July 15th Democratic primary.
