His platform includes or course: Healthcare, Education, Economic Growth

Says Santamaria: I am now ready to give back at the state level to the community that has so embraced and supported me since my arrival twelve years ago. I desire to represent the needs and protect the dreams of the citizens of Laurens and Johnson Counties. I desire to be a common sense voice for all of the people. The State House, to function best, requires a diversity of representation. There is not one single physician in the Georgia House of Representative out of 180 districts. A significant portion of Georgia’s state budget is healthcare, but there is not one single physician in the State House to represent your needs and concerns. Georgia needs a physician’s perspective. We need a doctor in the House. I am ready for the challenge. I would greatly appreciate your vote and support for becoming our next Georgia House of Representative for District 143!

He is married to wife Cyndie & they have two children Michael & Kendall
