Another citizen takes a stand!
Barbara Griffin has stepped up to the plate and is running to serve the residents of Georgia House District 176. A special election is taking place (February 12, early voting Jan 22 to Feb 8) to replace an incumbent who has taken another state position.
I have known her for many years now, and cannot think of a more passionate defender of the working person than she.
In the words of her devoted spouse, Lamar Deal:
VOTE FOR BARBARA GRIFFIN GA HOUSE DISTRICT 176
Why? Because Barbara Griffin actually cares about people; in fact, her entire career as a Social Worker began in 1973, when she got her Master's degree from the University of Georgia. She currently works in the dialysis field, helping patients navigate the health care labyrinth.
Barbara Griffin will work hard for:
- EQUAL ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE. Many South Georgians postpone getting medical care until they get very sick and end up in the ER, incurring higher medical bills for everyone. Keeping rural hospitals open means better health outcomes and lower infant mortality. More trauma centers (there are currently NONE in South Georgia) means saved lives. Barbara Griffin will work to bring quality healthcare to all Georgians.
- PUBLIC EDUCATION. A quality education means more opportunity for financial success. When companies look to expand one of the chief criteria is good schools. Rural Georgia needs a skilled workforce to attract higher paying tech jobs. Barbara Griffin believes in robust public schools from Kindergarten through graduate school.
-JOBS. Better jobs means a better quality of life, which begets more and better jobs. Barbara Griffin will work to bring those jobs to District 176.
- THE ENVIRONMENT. South Georgia has a sunny climate year round. Solar farms and residential solar are environmentally friendly and increasingly cost-effective. Industrial pollution and fossil fuels threaten our rural way of life by endangering wildlife and our health. Barbara Griffin will work to keep District 176 clean and beautiful.

Barbara Griffin is a hard-working, compassionate, intelligent woman. How do I know this? I'm married to her. I see her best qualities in action every day. VOTE FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR ALL GEORGIANS. VOTE FOR BARBARA GRIFFIN.
This is a map of her district. Yes, gerrymandering is another strange part of Americana. You can check your registration at the Georgia Secretary of State site, and it should clarify what district you are in.
There is also a Facebook page, Elect Barbara Griffin, GA House District 176, which I encourage you to join and like for all the latest updates and information.
If you live in District 176, early voting for this Special Election is January 22 through February 8 and election day is February 12.
