Georgia House of Representatives Candidates

Yes

I Feel that if elected I will support limits on gifts

Yes

I will support this campaign funds should only be use to pay for campaign expenses

Yes

I feel very strongly about this and would do everything in my power to get this passed!

Yes

Yes, yes, yes, ...

Yes

I would support legislation make excess or left over campaign funds forfeit to the state at the end of each election cycle.

Yes

Lobbyists can be valuable assets to legislators for the information they can provide about the issues, but the positions and/or votes should not be bought with lobbyist gifts.

Yes

More rules and guidance need to be given concerning the use of campaign funds. Donors give for a particular campaign, not to have it passed around or furnish the candidate's house.

Yes

I support measures to limit the corrupting influence of money on politics.

Yes

Deuteronomy 16:19

"Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous."

-Moses-

No

While, I am in favor of ethics reform, I can comment on this bill until further research.

No

Again, I would like to research this bill further

Yes

I would support many efforts to improve Georgia's ethics laws and requirements so long as we at all times maintain strict adherence to our Constitution and do not violate the freedoms and liberties provided therein.

I also support expanding the frequency of online reporting requirements to improve transparency.

Yes

As I understand HB 920, the legislation limits transfers to $10,000 per election cycle. Again, more frequent reporting requirements available online would improve transparency and the ability of our citizens to make judgments themselves.

No

I would like to be able to help non-profit organizations and needy individuals (kids with cancer or civic volunteer projects like a community playground)with any excess funds.

Yes

I would support legislation limiting the contribution of lobbyists as I do not want to be indrbted to any one group. My job will be to represent the citizens of District 172.

Yes

The $100 limit on the value of any one gift by a lobbyist to an elected official is fair as well as
the $10,000 limit on total transfers from a candidate's campaign account to other candidates, parties, campaign committees and PACs.

Yes

I would further support a total ban on gifts from lobbyists. If we are going to allow gifts, the $100 maximum is too high.
