MY VISION
I hope you will find this campaign to be something that resonates with your own experience, your own family, your own farm—not only for the purposes of electing me as Georgia's next Commissioner of Agriculture but for the sake of forging a new chapter in our state's history.
Our task is to generate a movement so mighty—a powerful, unstoppable force that we build together—so as to override all threats to our democracy. And to do so with grace, with compassion, and with empathy for all.
To make Georgia great again, first we must become good again: good citizens, good parents, good neighbors, good Georgians.
Now is the time. We are the way.
