One of our greatest accomplishments this legislative session was the first cut in the state income tax since the 1930s. We must continue to reform our state tax code to cut income taxes, reduce the tax burden on hardworking Georgians and unleash the power of our economy.
Now, perhaps more than ever before, our right to believe, worship and live as we choose is under attack from a radical left that is not interested in tolerance. They want to oppress anyone who disagrees with them. I will not back down. Our Founding Fathers built America to be a shining beacon of freedom – most especially the freedom of religious belief. I will always stand with them and for you and your rights.
Government works best that is closest to its citizens. That is why I continue to fight in every way possible to shrink the size of state government and return the power to the people and their local governments. The citizens of Fayette, Spalding, Lamar, and Pike counties know best how to govern their lives, not Atlanta politicians.
I am proud to be pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment. I am endorsed by Georgia Right to Life, Georgia Carry and have an "A" Rating from the NRA. This past session, we passed a comprehensive overhaul of our state’s adoption laws – that’s putting our pro-life values into action. Like my stand on protecting our religious freedoms, I will never back down in the fight do what is right.
