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.
  • 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.
I always look to God. But I used to look up to my dad before his passing in 1994.
Standing behind your promises. Keeping those promises. Keeping your word to the people. That's all that really matters.
Keeping my word and doing what needs to be done for the people of Georgia.
Protecting the citizens of Georgia. Once again standing behind your word. Keeping your promises you made and do what you promised the people.
For people to remember when I was in office that I kept my promises and made a change.
Working for my father on construction sites as a teenager. Till the age of 20.
Keeping your word or promises that you made during the election. Is important to show the voters that it can be done.
It would be helpful but not necessary. I believe you can surround yourself with honest people.
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.
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.
