Last night the greatest honor of my life took place. I was sworn in to serve as a city council representative for the people of Alpharetta. It is an honor that I take very seriously and for the next four years I will represent the people of this wonderful city to the very best of my ability.

As I adapt to my new role so will this blog.  GA Jim was originally created to let people know about events that interested me and affected our lives in Alpharetta. After I made the decision to run for city council, GA Jim became my campaign website. Now it is time for GA Jim to change once again.

GA Jim will now serve as the personal blog of a man on his journey of public service. I will continue to focus on the issues that interest me and affect our lives but from the perspective of a man elected to represent more than 50,000 people. My goal is to keep readers informed and engaged while giving some unique insight into the life of a public servant. I hope you enjoy the new iteration of GA Jim and I encourage you to share your comments as we make this journey together.
