| Quote from Website | "For over 200 years, my family has farmed, hunted, and fished the land, rivers, and streams of central and eastern Georgia. That's why I believe that one of my prime responsibilities in Congress is to preserve - for ourselves and for our children - the rural heritage and quality of life that we enjoy today.” |
