Judicial Administration

Has hosted several Roundtable discussions with Governor Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr ranging from Elder Abuse to Gang Violence.

Said, "To be quite honest with you, I don’t see anything partisan about the position or why a person should have to run as a partisan for any constitutional office, whether it be probate judge, coroner, tax commissioner or sheriff."

Said, "Anytime you are talking about taking someone’s rights away from them it is a very serious issue...And it should be dealt with based on facts, and it should be dealt with very carefully."
