I am extremely grateful for Senator Rhett and his endorsement of my candidacy for District 4 Commissioner. As a distinguished leader in our community and at the State Capitol, Senator Rhett knows that I have a proven track record of community leadership and service. His support is a major validation that the work that I have been doing in the community is recognized. I have a great level of respect for Senator Rhett and his commitment to South Cobb. I view him as an “architect” who can get things done, which is reflected in his positive track record at the State Capitol. Senator Rhett and I share the same perspective that there are major issues to address in our community and that it will take all of us moving in the same direction to bring about positive changes. Once elected, I promise to work diligently with Senator Rhett and others to bring about the smart economic growth and development our community deserves, while addressing the overall quality of life needs of South Cobb.”
