NEW FLIPPABLE: Jonathan Wallace for GA-HD119
Growing up in the suburbs of New Orleans, my Dad captained a shrimp boat while my sister and I helped my Mom clean bars on the weekends. My parents moved us to Stockbridge, Georgia in 1985 for three reasons: to take care of my great-grandmother suffering from Alzheimer’s, for better economic opportunities for my Dad, and for strong, safe schools for us children.
My mom’s example of service for a loved one continues to resonate throughout my life. Only later, when reflecting on my desire to serve my community as Representative for House District 119, did I realize that those three principles of service, economic opportunity, and education motivate me to this day.
