Training

On Wednesday this week, I attended a training session offered by the Georgia Ethics Commission. It was a seminar on reporting requirements of candidates for office in the state of Georgia. There were about 4 other people there. It was nice to know I had already completed some of the necessary tasks to begin a campaign. There are specific reports to file, specific deadlines to meet for filing, and significant fines for failure to do so. I really enjoy learning new things and the challenge of seeking excellence. So other than the traffic, the one-way streets, and pouring rain, it was an excellent day!

I am committed to being forthright and thorough while running this campaign. Prior to this training, I had already had discussions with the Spalding County Elections Officer, Terry Colling, and City of Griffin Elections Officer, Judy Flournoy. Both ladies gave me excellent and accurate direction, so we are on track to date. I will continue to seek advice when needed in order keep integrity central in this campaign.

Just a reminder to everyone: we are still in need of funds to help this campaign be successful. The qualifying fee is $403.20, there is advertising to be done, and flyers, signs, and business cards to help get my name out in the community. Please contact me at smh4Griffin@gmail.com to make a donation. I will surely appreciate it!

Blessings!
