We need to support the growth of the regional airport the Albany area.   The SWGA Regional Airport is already number 2 in the state for cargo aircraft.  We need to build up and support all the airports in the District including Tifton, Valdosta, Americus, Columbus, Dawson, Blakely, and Macon.   This would supply jobs for decades, improve the economy, and bring in new businesses.

We need to continue the I-185 spur in Columbus, down the West side of the district, to just north of Bainbridge, turning east through or near Thomasville, and connecting Valdosta. This would create jobs, and relieve traffic congestion and some of the pollution in Atlanta. It will shorten driving distances and conserve fuel. It will create jobs for decades, bring in tourism and business.

We will complete the by-pass around Albany and build spurs connecting most small towns with Albany and the new Interstate. And I will work with Jack Kingston to continue the Interstate toward Brunswick then up to Savannah.

We propose to build flood drains and levees around many of the rivers, especially the Flint. This would help with flooding, loss of life and property.

Reservoirs could be built in strategic places around the district that water could be pumped into during elevated water levels, and stored for periods of drought and local emergencies. This would also provide jobs for decades.

The 2nd Congressional district is the most neglected district in Georgia and has been since Reconstruction. I propose that Regional Offices not be in the highest rent areas available but in safe lower rent areas whereby 4 or 5 regional offices could be provided. Depending on the resources, offices could possibly be in Albany, Lumpkin, Thomasville, Bainbridge and Cordele.
