Opposes current economic policies because they are "heavily subsidized, tax abated, special favor ridden filth that has only served to enrich a few at the expense of the many."

Said, "I have spent my time as a P&Z Board Member assisting small business owners in their endeavors, helping to defend the people of Banks County from overzealous developers, and at times, holding our government accountable when they have attempted to overstep their authority."

Plans to work with authorities "to revitalize the Banks Crossing area so that it remains a desirable, tax producing asset."

Said, "We should not be bringing a heavy hand down on our citizens while rolling out the red carpet for out-of-town developers."

Said, "We should not have farmers’ property valuations going up while industrial property valuations are going down, by millions of dollars in some cases. We should not have an apartment complex with 10+ units per acre when our code only allows four units per acre."
