This campaign is all about the people I serve in District 74 first and then across the State of Georgia. It has been a rollercoaster ride maneuvering through all the obstacles involved in politics. I have enjoyed the journey with my constituents. To the voters in Morrow, Lake City, Forest Park, Riverdale and College Park, Let's continue this adventure. There is more to explore with access to training for high paying jobs, equitable and quality education, transparency in government, youth services, affordable healthcare, sensible transportation, just to name a few.
