Since I began my campaign, I have gone door to door every day in
an effort to meet the constituents in District 53 and to talk to
them about the issues that concern all of us.
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

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. |
