"From job losses, to stock losses, to the housing market, these are difficult times for everyone. They will likely get much worse because of the dangerously radical agenda of President Obama and Speaker Pelosi. I’m running for Congress to take a stand for the values north Georgians believe and the values that have made our country great."

"America is unquestionably the leader of the free world and the model of liberty for all nations."

"However, there is something very wrong in Washington when common sense efforts like Johnny Isakson’s tax credit for homebuyers are trashed while taxes are raised on small businesses."

"Politicians bail out the corporate executives flying them around private jets while our families are losing jobs and our houses and retirement funds crash."

"When I served in the Georgia House, Republicans were in the minority. I know what it means to champion conservative values and free market principles in a body run by corrupt and liberal politicians. I will do it again in Washington, DC."

"It’s time to take a stand against dangerous and radical liberalism of Obama and Pelosi. The effort to retake our government begins right here in the mountains of north Georgia."

"In Congress, I will be a champion of homeowners, small businesses which create most of our jobs, and the families of north Georgia. I look forward to sharing in the coming months my proposals and vision for how to restore economic opportunity, our values, and our confidence."
