I’ve prosecuted cases in Juvenile Court and am one of our prosecutors for our Accountability Court Programs.
“I believe in FAIR prosecution that is FIRM in seeking justice and I am READY to lead.
“My wife, Laura Lee (Griffin) who grew up in Waycross, our 3-year-old daughter, and I live in Douglas where we are members of First Baptist Church.
