Dear Friends of Bibb & Shelby County,

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. The use of social media opportunities has given elected officials an opportunity to reach their constituents like never before. After being elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2006 one of my goals has been to make sure the people I represent are informed on what I am doing as your elected official.  In that capacity I have strived to ensure that you will be kept up to date on the activities of your state government. Over the last eight years I have traveled throughout the district and met with many residents of Bibb and Shelby County  who share my desire to have a legislator 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,
