Candidate website

The candidate's website says, "He has helped to create economic opportunities for Indian-owned businesses... promoting unity and cooperation for the betterment of all residents."

Championed the LEAF Act, "a simple bill designed to preempt the government from micromanaging the yard equipment people can and cannot use based on engine type. Such legislation would not be necessary if not for the radical woke agenda that is sweeping over our country, coming from coastal elites in California to tell Georgians what they can and cannot do. Included in the new law is a preemption on the banning of gas stoves, which is the new crusade of Stacey Abrams and her coastal elite friends. They believe they have the authority to strip Americans of their freedom to choose the appliances they use in their own kitchens! Shawn disagrees and will never bow down to the woke agenda."

Supports eliminating the state income tax.
