State Sen. John Albers, was quoted in the statement referring to the victim as a “legal immigrant from Puerto Rico who followed every step of the process to live and work in the United States.” He went on to slam Democratic immigration policies.

I think one of the cornerstones of good representation is being proactive and transparent when communicating with your constituents. And a big part of that is going to where your constituents already are—not just where I’m comfortable. So, we do voter outreach at a variety of public events, we’re active across the spectrum of social media, and we’ve hosted unique events like our Dungeons & Democrats fundraiser that target different segments in our community.

I believe I can better represent the wide range of voters and values in East Cobb, Roswell, and Woodstock because I was raised socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
