Thank You HD 159

Tuesday was Election Day in Georgia, and I can’t thank each of you enough for continuing to place your trust in me to represent our community in the Georgia House.

It is the honor of a lifetime to serve House District 159, and I look forward to continuing to work alongside each of my neighbors to build a better, brighter future for Southeast Georgia and our entire state.

Congratulations Class of 2026

Graduation season is here, and I want to congratulate each of the seniors across the district who have worked hard to reach this milestone. The Georgia House has been proud to champion measures that have created historic opportunities for young people across the state, whether they’re attending college, technical school, or entering the workforce. I look forward to seeing the great things each of this year’s graduates accomplishes. 

Dayle and I would also like to extend a special congratulations to our grandson, Jon David, on his graduation last night. We couldn’t be prouder of him and all that he has accomplished, and we are excited to see what the future has in store for him as he begins this next chapter.

Observing Memorial Day

As we prepare to observe Memorial Day and honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our great nation, let us remember that freedom is never free. We owe those brave men and women a debt of gratitude that can never truly be repaid.
