One of Us Fighting For All of Us

We all know the problem.

Only one side runs for our elected offices, and there are no alternatives offered, no other viewpoints heard.

Someone needs to step up and speak up.  Someone needs to have the courage to run.  For all my blogging bravado, I did not step up.

But someone did.

And that someone is Georgia District 178 House of Representatives candidate Greg O' Driscoll.

He is seen in the picture above with Barbara Griffin, receiving the endorsement of the National Asociation of Social Workers, Georgia.

Greg is one of us.  He has a full-time job, working at a home improvement store.  He has a family, including the arrival of a new baby boy this summer.  He's experienced the same day to day financial pains and struggles many of us have.

He will not have a special interest agenda when he goes to be our representative in Atlanta.  He'll fight for the family farmer, and not be in the pocket of large agribusiness.  He'll do everything to extend Medicaid, and do everything in his power to ensure as many people as possible have access to decent health care and work to prevent people from going bankrupt just trying to provide basic health care to their family.   He'll deal with the terrible drug and opioid crisis in our area, in a way that emphasizes rehabilitation, recovery and work with the medical community.   He'll fight to preserve and grow the Hope Scholarship and to strengthen the backbone of democracy - public schools.  When industries pollute, he will be on the side of the health and well-being of your family.  He'll aim to bring green jobs to Southeast Georgia.

He is one of us fighting for all of us.

Please consider voting for one of us this election.  Please help revolutionize the Georgia legislature so that it once again represents the interests of its citizens.

Greg O' Driscoll - it's time one of us went to the statehouse!
