Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses,click here.

Stabilize Georgia Health care by creating Georgia Modified Healthcare Program. Crafting a policy that provides quality insurance for Georgia citizens across age brackets is critical for citizens, employers and all stakeholders in Georgia. 400,000 plus are currently in the doughnut hold with another 200,000 to 700,000 becoming uninsurance over the next 10 years is a morale issue. We as leaders must act and must act now to make mitigate this issue. With over 11 billion dollars in undesignated funds not acting and providing healthcare to Georgia residents would be a dereliction of duty on leadership part.

Stabilize housing throughout the state of Georgia. I look forward to pushing legislation that focuses on stainable growth housing for our young citizens and quality long term solutions for Georgia seniors. I believe growth is a very important part of life. As a person who dropped out of high school, I myself understand that growth through education is critical to a person's life trajectory. We can create stainable growth housing that offers and, in some cases, demands our young citizens grow. GED classes on site, certification classes on site as part of subsidized rental assistance. Our seniors deserve quality housing. Investing in bridge financing to developers to provide our seniors, quality housing is the least we can do.

Make life more affordable for all Georgia citizens. I understand how expensive life has become for Georgia residents. Our light bills have risen due to 6 rate hikes in 3 years. Our grocery bills are still too high. Maintenace on our cars are a lot due to Georgia infrastructure needs. Daycare prices require a side job to pay for and that's after working a 3rd job to afford housing. Georgia needs a CPA who understand how to push legislation that is focuses on, how can we effectively invest taxpayer dollars. $1 dollar paid in; $1.25 worth of services and opportunities created and returned back to Georgia citizens. Small business tax incentives to create high paying jobs. Investment in infrastructure that save $600 in tires not a $250 rebate.

Submitted Biography:  "I am Jerry Timbs. I'm retired. What I stand for and running on is lowering taxes, getting homeless people off the streets. Helping our elderly and veterans. Getting gang's off the streets, lowering crime. Its time to get families above the poverty line. I'm not a politician but politicians are not holding up their end of the deal. It's time for an update on politicians. It's time to put a regular everyday guy in office that lives an everyday normal life and knows what everyday people go through. So if you would like real change then I ask for your vote."

Key Messages

Taking care of our elderly and our veterans. Back our First Responders. It's time we all come together instead of having politicians tear us apart.

Putting Families First. Getting families out of poverty. It's time we focus on that. Better paying jobs. Having affordable housing so people can afford to live and pay rent or mortgages. Lower taxes this is not time for taxes to be raised but yet State and counties are doing just that. It's time to bring back small towns that are disappearing.

Getting homeless off the streets. I understand some are there by choice. Some sleep in their cars. But if they can be helped then it's time we have them. Some are there by no fault of their own, and they just need a helping hand in this time we have them.

If you show me your budget, I will show you who you are. The other is my disposition. I believe in working with people for the betterment of the people. A lost art in today's politics.

I always look to God. But I used to look up to my dad before his passing in 1994.

Being a Transformational, yet, a Visionary Leader!
Standing behind your promises. Keeping those promises. Keeping your word to the people. That's all that really matters.
Leadership, communication and disposition.
Passionate about research, making others aware of opportunities, and developing newsletters!
Keeping my word and doing what needs to be done for the people of Georgia.
Ensure accountability and awareness of public policies
Protecting the citizens of Georgia. Once again standing behind your word. Keeping your promises you made and do what you promised the people.
To make the lives of each citizen better.
Let the world know, "I tried" to help where I could!
For people to remember when I was in office that I kept my promises and made a change.
A legacy of leadership, of service. Hopefully I can lead us the USA of the mountain top to the promise land.

Leadership. Managers manage and leaders lead.
Hopefully I can run a race where I can keep the powers the Lieutenant Governor has. History says no, but I am confident in my ability to run a race that the people of Georgia will respect and push ideas that make their live better.
It would be helpful but not necessary. I believe you can surround yourself with honest people.
I believe if you possess certain skills, a person can be effective anywhere in any position. Everyone has had a 1st day in every position.
Getting out Among the people and talking to them. Seeing what's needed and keeping your promises. Once all that is done everything will fall in place.
Again leadership. The Lieutenant Governor is the leader of the GA Senate. Leadership is one of life's most important skill.
Accurate research and reporting to include fraud!
I believe all taxpayers should know and even have a say where their tax dollars go. As far as Government accountability, it's the government's responsibility to inform the voters and taxpayers.
I think it's a good idea, but the better idea is for citizens to vote in legislators that craft good legislation.
A guy as me why was I different than the last 10 candidates who asked him for his vote. I said I can't make up for their failures, i can only offer my hand in service and together we can succeed together. You have to vote.
