I grew up on a Georgia farm, and I enlisted in the Marines to serve my country. My wife Karla and I have been married for 35 years. She became a family doctor while I served, and we raised 5 kids and have 4 grandkids. After spending 40 years in the military, including serving as a combat infantry commander in Afghanistan, I retired from the military as an Army General, and Karla and I came right back here to Georgia to live on the farm. We are feeling very blessed.
But talking with folks around here, a lot of people are not feeling so blessed. Veterans are struggling. The rising cost of living keeps everyone working extra hard to make ends meet. And everyday people just don’t feel like anyone’s listening to them.
The way I see it, Georgians work hard. But our hard work would go a lot farther if we had someone in Congress working to raise Georgians’ pay and lower costs, so everybody can have the tools and opportunities to build a good life. We should be building things here again, exporting American products instead of American jobs, and growing our economy with more quality, good-paying jobs close to home here in North Georgia.
For years, we’ve watched Marjorie Taylor Greene on TV, prioritizing national drama over the people of Northwest Georgia. The conversation has changed since Marjorie has quit, giving us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally bring real leadership back to this district.
This is a different race than the one we fought in 2024. I still see how hungry our neighbors are for a representative who actually works for them. We built a historic coalition that proved we are ready for change. Now, with an open seat, we are no longer just fighting against someone; we are fighting for our future.
