Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running for State House because I am uniquely equipped and qualified to represent our conservative, Middle Georgia values in the State Capitol. I have deep roots here in Houston County and want to continue to make our region better.
Anyone can run for office, but it takes a real leader with real experience to be the right representative for this district.
That's why I am asking for your vote.
