MISSION STATEMENT

Putting People First

As a lifelong resident of Georgia House District 129, I am uniquely positioned to continue to serve as a dedicated advocate for its people. With deep roots in the community, I bring a commitment to upholding spiritual morals and values in public service, recognizing their power to drive positive change.

Inspired by the legacies of Henry and Wayne Howard, I aim to continue their tradition of selfless service and prioritize the needs of our constituents. Guided by the principle of giving more than receiving, instilled in me by my family, I pledge to prioritize the welfare of the people above all else.

My mission is to "Put People First" by addressing critical issues such as the lack of affordable housing and the displacement of our seniors due to the influx of multi-family housing. Through proactive and compassionate leadership, I strive to uphold the dignity and well-being of every individual in District 129.

OUR DISTRICT

Karlton Howard seeks to continue to represent District 129, aiming to enhance the quality of life for all its residents. With a focus on education, healthcare, housing, and fostering unity, he pledges to drive positive change. Backed by a track record of community service, Karlton is wholeheartedly devoted to making impactful differences.
