Dear
Friends,
Welcome to my official web site! Julie and I would like to thank you for
allowing me to serve as your State Representative for District 49.
I
hope that you find this site useful and informative. After being elected
in 2002 and re-elected in 2006 one of my goals has been to make sure the
people I serve are informed on what I am doing as your elected official
and to ensure that you will be kept up to date on the activities of your
state government. Over the last four years I have traveled throughout
the district and met with many residents of Bibb and Shelby County
who share my desire to have someone they can
count on to do the right thing in Montgomery. My
strong determination to represent you in an honest and conservative
manner is something you can always count on.
If you find
that there is some information regarding state government that might be
more helpful to you on this web site, please feel free to contact me so
I can have it provided for you. As your State Representative in
Montgomery, I would like to invite you to call on me if I can ever be of
any assistance to you or your family.
Again, thank you for allowing me to serve you,
