Jef views the Primary election as the time when candidates put their ideas before the public. “I would like to take the leadership skills and experiences I have had to the next level – that of representing the people (or being the people’s voice at the state capitol). Above all, I want to see that Georgia retains its sovereignty as a state. I believe in self-governance and limited government. There are many pressing issues – jobs, economy, state spending, healthcare and education. I look forward to meeting with voters, listening to their ideas and concerns and sharing my vision of participatory citizen governance.”
