Tax breaks for new business: I know that there is consternation on whether or not new businesses should get tax breaks. However, new business and job growth should be maintained; so there must be continued ways to entice new business(s).

(Printing press Interests: ​My interest is Liberty. I am a descendant of Americans that settled Gwinnett County in Georgia before the Revolution of 1776. Just as the Founding Fathers, I want government to be very small and the People to stand tall and free. Unlike most of Washington’s politicians who are only interested in how the corporate donors fair and what lobbyists stuff in their pockets, I want to cut the size of government. Most of the national government is unnecessary and worse, Unconstitutional. There are only a few enumerated powers the Federal government should be involved in and the rest of the activities of government are reserved to the states, (the 10th amendment). Every federal department should be closed. The Federal Reserve shut down. The illegal and criminal enterprise called the IRS closed down. The 16th amendment repealed. Every law and regulation limiting firearms ownership by The People repealed including the Firearms Acts of 1934 and 1968. The Federal government has no constitutional right to speak a word beyond that found in the 2nd Amendment that states “...shall not be infringed…” War. The President has no right to send our men into battle. That is a decision for Congress. We spend to much money and spill to much blood so that, primarily, the military industrial complex and globalists can make money. Peace costs the super-rich too much money but they need to have a pay cut. I’m a capitalist through and through, but death is not a good money making plan. I could go on and on, but as the new Senator from Georgia, I want to change America back into the Republic it was meant to be. ​Johnny Isakson and all the other socialists in the Senate need to return to the constitution. The People deserve constitutional government so that they can be free and prosperous and shake of the growing burden of oppressive big government. DR. DANIEL L.

Abbott Special Assistant Attorney General DeKalb County Division of Family and Children Services Mr. Donald Lee, Esq. CWLS Guardian Ad Litem, Gwinnett County Courts donald.lee@gwinnettcountycom David Christian Belle Isle Republicans hold the secret to human ?ourishing. That is why we must hold Senator lsakson?s Senate Seat in 2020. Our philosophy, if faithfully pursued, of creating environments of opportunity, personal liberty, and practical hope offers the best chance for the most Georgians to ?ourish as a State and as a people. I can help Georgia. Here is what I bring to the table: The understanding that the purpose of the Republican Party is to help people; The knowledge that the best government is a smaller, less intrusive, and more limited government; The experience and know-how of what it takes to run statewide in Georgia; The experience of being politically vetted by local and statewide opponents; The ability to cast a vision and win hearts and minds to that vision through speech and messaging; The ability to raise money for campaigns, having raised approximately $750,000.00 in my run for Secretary of State, and nearly $100,000.00 for Governor Kemp; Respect and loyalty for Governor Kemp and his plans for Georgia; The understanding that the President needs our support to succeed; A track record of unprecedented success as Mayor of Alpharetta; Grassroots leadership experience as Chairman of Georgia 6 for the Republican Party; and Relationships with Republicans in nearly every county in Georgia. For your convenience, I have provided a recap of the successes we achieved in Alpharetta while I was Mayor.

GPA 3.78/40 Dec. 2007 B.B.A. Accounting Kermesaw State University. GPA 3.9/4.0 Dec. 2010 Governor Kemp I would like to thank you for the opportunity I have to apply for the vacant senate seat of my great state of Georgia. I do realize that this should be in the form of a resume, but I am afraid you or your screeners would not be impressed. You see I have no great education or political record. However, I ask that you hear me out. I am 42 years old, a husband of 22 years and the father of 4 children. I was born and raised in Atkinson county. My mother and father have worked hard all their lives and provided what they could for myself, my brother and four sisters. He ended up a floor supervisor for a door manufacturing company and she worked her way up as a lunchroom manager at the high school. As you could imagine we did not have a lot to spare financially, but a hard work ethic and the drive for an honest living were instilled in all of us. After school my senior year I worked full time three to eleven. All though I had the grades to go to college after high school, like so many young adults I could not see the future benefits of an education. My next years as I continued to work and mature, I learned what a great opportunity I had passed on. Life has taught me many things. I realize that due to the many applications you may read through, I can’t hold your attention long. Let me get to the gist of it. I think I can bring a unique perspective to the United States senate. You see I have lived through many of the problems facing our great nation today. Health care, I have been on both sides of the fence, I know what its like to have no insurance and I know what it is to have it. I have received the bloated hospital bills and I have seen how the insurance companies must deny and renegotiate them. I have seen where our doctors of old have delivered us and later And how todays physicians (if you can get past a P.A. to the doctor) must refer us to a specialist. The system is broke due a lot to the Affordable Care Act. I live in the immigration crisis. In Atkinson county over fifty percent (my observation of living in the community and attending school functions) of our residents are one-time migrants. Our little community has over a short amount time become like what I would imagine a Texas border town to look like. It seems we have more Hispanic businesses than American. But on the flip side I can see that these people are just taking advantage of the opportunity to better them selves and their family. Who could blame them? For the most part they are good people and other than what appears to be the breaking of immigration laws (that up until recently have not been enforced) They abide by the law. My children have grown up in school with them, played sports with them, we have attended church services with them, they have come to our church vacation bible school services and I have worked with them. God has opened my eyes to the fact we are all made in his image. And if we are honest, they provide an important work force for our farmers and industries. However open borders can not continue. With out borders we will cease to be a nation. The years of neglecting the Constitution has caught up with us. In my opinion we must create laws that will allow for legal immigration that include taxes on the applicants to offset cost of education and medical expenses. Also, a better form of vetting and a federal data base in order to keep record of the applicants. In 2011 we were struck by a driver who ran a stop sign: in all reality at least my wife and one of my children should have died. My wife and three of my children sustained injury. One of the occupant’s in the other vehicle lost her life. The driver like my self-walked away. By Gods grace we were spared. A year later during an exit interview with the state patrol I was told the driver was an illegal alien and had fled the state, there was no way to track him down. This is real life. I also know what is like to drive 50 miles to work. The best job I could obtain with my education is the one I currently have. I am currently a mechanic with C.S.X. transportation in Waycross. The jobs that have been lost to free trade are surely missed. I need only open my older sisters’ yearbook to see an add from the Georgia pacific mill that once employed many people of Pearson. It like so many closed and left a community hanging. And even at C.S.X. I don’t know how much longer I will have a job. Just last week thirty people were sent home. It seems the hedge fund that has taken over is not to interested in pulling freight but only cutting operating ratio in order to get stock prices up. The billions of dollars in profit is just not enough. By working here, I also have seen what the unions have become. I am currently a union objector. I still must be a member but at a reduced rate. It seems even though Georgia is a right to work state federal law requires railroad and aerospace employees to be union members. President Trump is right to put American jobs first. I could go on and on Governor Kemp, but I will not keep you much longer. If you do for some miracle choose me know that I would represent the people of Georgia to the best of my abilities. Maybe one of the most important things time has taught me is that this is a great country. It was only by the grace of God it was formed and only by His grace will it continue. The Constitution was inspired by Him, it should be upheld. Next to the Bible I can think of no literature more important. If you have any follow up questions, please feel free to contact me.

I have completed 4 out of my 6 MOT training sessions. Since my promotion, I have been able to experience more customer service relations, learning and developing strategies from our KPI reports to help store operations, and being involved with handling HR conflicts in a manner consistent with Publix standards. One of the main reasons why I decided to advance my career into store management level is part of being a leader and helping others develop themselves. I thoroughly enjoy working around others, and getting to know them. However, as I work with others and get to know them, I also find their strengths and weakness and help them achieve greatness in both areas.

In my 9 years of being a Bakery Manager and leading others, I learned how to respectfully talk to associates as well as my superiors. I learned how being a caring and compassionate leader goes a long way in having respect from your team and accomplishing goals. I learned that, just because of the title, you still need to being involved with the associates every day and show them that you are willing to work hard, like they do. I learned how to listen to associates and their needs, as well as handling healthy and unhealthy conflicts and situations in a calmly manner.

After 6 months, I was offered a FT position in the bakery department, where I learned how to mix, bake, and decorate until I was promoted in 2007 to Assistant Bakery Manager in Athens, GA. While I was an ABM, I learned how to read KPI reports, properly write effective schedule, conduct performance evaluations for my associates, manage inventory balance by properly ordering and conducting daily counts and having monthly inventories. I also learned how to work in a time management mind set, and maintaining health and sanitation expectations that helped with each operation in the department. Loan Processor A Better Rate Mortgage - Snellville, GA August 2000 to February 2003 I worked for this company during my Junior and Senior year as a PT loan processor and receptionist. Working for this company, I learned how to answer incoming phone calls properly, setting appointments and making sure everyone knew their weekly calendar. I also assisted with making sure the office stays organized and files were up to date with our filing system.

I learned how to use Microsoft spreadsheets, excel, and word when creating documents, doing payroll, and various other tasks.

I attended the 1982 Girls State Convention. The last night our key note speaker was a then little known Lt. Governor named Zell Miller. I am a Medical specialist and have spent 30 years of my life helping people. My brother was a class of 1984 Westpoint graduate. He served in desert Storm (2 bronze stars). My sister is a Vice President for a technical college here in Georgia. My parents were mill hill children. Five of my uncles served in WWII. My father was in Korea. One Great Grandfather and one Great Uncle fought in WW1. My love for this country runs very deep. Duty, Honor, Country. I am not a seasoned politician. I am a person that believes the regular people who live in and would lay down their lives for their country should be listened to and heard. Healthcare is important. Senior Living is important. Legal immigration is possible. I also have a deep faith and believe that others have the right to have beliefs of their own. If I have learned anything, It is that the reason we study history, so that we will not repeat our mistakes. I believe our system is at a stalemate and very unhelpful to those of us who work and support it. I would like to see it reconstructed and refurbished. Otherwise, it seems that we will go the way of the Conch shell and anarchy. Change sometimes begins with a small ripple. Peter J.

I will never forget that I  serve at the pleasure of the citizens of Georgia, and that any legislation  that comes to me for a vote should reflect the values and opinions of the  constituency. As a believer in localism, I will not let the federal  government dictate how Georgians should live their private lives.    SKILLS  Critical thinking  Awareness of logical fallacies  Deep understanding of the  Constitution.   BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION  I have been a Georgia resident since 1992. I attended first grade through  twelfth in the Fayette County School System. After highschool I attended  UGA and graduated with a degree in Computer Science in 2007. I worked  in Athens for a small tech company for 10 years. In that time, I met my  wife and eventually moved closer to Atlanta to pursue another  opportunity. My wife recently gave birth to our four month old daughter.   Eagle Scout  Undefeated amateur MMA  fighter.   Media friendly.  QUALITIES  As a millenial, I am aware of many of the struggles and tribulations of my  generation. This same generation is soon to be the majority of the  workforce. It is of great importance to ensure the financial and general  welfare of this understandably disaffected generation as it increasingly  seeks answers in socialist philosophy. As a cohort, I can serve as an  example and plead the case that socialist thinking will only serve to  exacerbate their issues.   EXPERIENCE  InterContinental Hotels Group, ​Atlanta, GA​ — ​ ​Lead  Engineer  MAY 2016 - PRESENT  Responsible for application design, mentorship to fellow teammates,  project completion date estimation, and reviewing fellow engineer’s code  for quality and compliance.
