Over in Laurens County, there is a race going on to replace outgoing State Rep DuBose Porter as representative for HD 143. One of those candidates is rural democrat Dan King, a moderately conservative democrat who is a attorney & a U.S. Army Veteran serving in the Gulf War & a graduate of the U.S. Military at West Point & served an additional 8 yrs in the Georgia National Guard,
He was highly decorated both on active duty and for his service in the National Guard.
Some of his biggest issues are:
Education: (where he supports more local control of schools),
The State Budget: (where he will not support unnecessary spending on pet projects and programs that funnel money away from these crucial efforts, and will not support tax increases that further burden our state’s hard working families)
Public Safety
Jobs & Economy
King is a father of three & committed husband & where faith plays a huge role in his family where he and his family are active members of First Baptist Church of Dublin where he currently serves on the Finance Committee. Dan spent two weeks in Africa last summer working to construct facilities at a Bible college established to train pastors to evangelize their own populations. Giving time to help others is an important component of Dan's faith, and a value he has tried to pass on to his children. As State Representative, Dan King says he will bring these Georgia values with him to the State Capitol and be a strong voice for pro-life, pro-family policies.
Hmmmm............ This is my kind of democrat.
He goes up aginst Claudia Graham, Mitch Warnock & Pablo Santamaria in the democratic primary.
