• PUTTING GEORGIA AND GEORGIANS FIRST

Herschel loves Georgia and wants to give back to the state that has given him so much. Georgia’s strong agriculture, tourism, film production, and manufacturing industries, along with the booming Savannah Port, have helped make Georgia the number one state for business. Herschel will fight every day in the Senate for policies that keep Georgia leading the way with job creation, lower taxes, and less government red tape.

• MAKE AMERICA ENERGY INDEPENDENT

Gas and energy prices are skyrocketing as a result of bad Democratic energy policy decisions. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the past year, America cannot depend on other countries for our essential resources, including energy. Herschel will fight to make America energy independent once again, leading to lower gas prices, more American jobs being brought back from overseas, and stronger national security.

• STAND FOR CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES

As a Christian, a father, and a husband, Herschel knows that strong families are the bedrock of our country. Herschel’s upbringing in rural Georgia instilled a personal faith in God, which he carries with him to this day. He prays every day for this country, and with God’s help will bring those values with him to Washington. Herschel is a compassionate conservative who is pro-life and pro-family.

• SUPPORT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND AMERICAN WORKERS

After a 15-year professional football career, Herschel decided to build his own business from the ground up. What started as a small operation has grown to be one of the largest minority-owned food suppliers in the United States. He knows firsthand the struggles of owning a business, balancing a budget, and dealing with government red tape. He will fight for lower taxes, fewer government regulations, and more free-market capitalism.

• SECURE OUR BORDERS AND PROTECT AMERICANS

Unfortunately, the border crisis isn’t just a border state problem, it is a Georgia problem that is bringing drugs, crime, and human trafficking to our state. While Herschel is fully supportive of those who follow the legal immigration process, he believes that our leaders have a Constitutional obligation to secure America’s borders and keep Americans safe. Herschel will work to secure our southern border and fix the immigration problem, which Washington politicians have failed to address for decades.

• DEFEND, NOT DEFUND, THE POLICE

Herschel thinks that defunding the police is a ridiculous idea. Crime is out of control in many of our major cities, including Atlanta, because politicians have demoralized, defunded, and undermined the good men and women in uniform who risk their lives every day so that we can be safe. Herschel will fight to fully fund all of our public safety officials by ensuring that they have the staff, equipment, and training needed to keep every neighborhood free from fear.

• ALWAYS SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

Herschel doesn’t just talk about supporting the troops, he has dedicated the past 13 years of his life to traveling the country and the world meeting with members of our military to share his own story and encourage our great troops. Herschel has seen firsthand the tremendous sacrifices that our men and women in uniform make and will always put American interests first at home and abroad. He believes that we must invest heavily in our military to ensure we have the best personnel and equipment, can never negotiate with terrorists, and should never leave any American behind.

• KEEP THE AMERICAN DREAM ALIVE

As a small-town kid who has achieved the American Dream, Herschel knows the best way to help people succeed is not to give them a handout but to teach them how to fish. Herschel has personally seen how when you work hard and stay in the fight, anything is possible. He will fight to keep that same American Dream alive for you and your kids too.

• PROTECT AND PRESERVE OUR CONSTITUTION

Too often, politicians make promises on the campaign trail and then abandon them once in office. Herschel is not a politician, and you can count on him to stand up for our rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Herschel will vote to confirm Constitutional judges to our courts who will protect our right to bear arms, to ask questions, and to make our own decisions for our families.^[4]
