HISTORY
Dear Friends,
It has been a real honor to be your State Representative for the past 8 years. I believe I have served you well by being true to our beliefs and the needs of our communities.
Now that I am back in Newton County my job is not finished. I am running for Newton County Presiding Commissioner. I want to continue the good programs implemented by the current Commission.
A balanced budget, economic development, long-range planning, oversight of potential mandated government programs, and acknowledgement of the concerns and needs of our senior citizens top the list of my priorities.
My record of leadership, business experience, education and commitment to the citizens of Newton County make me the best qualified candidate for the job.
I wish to express my appreciation for your past support and ask for your vote on August 3.
Yours for a more efficient government.
