Preserving what matters and planning what’s
next.

It’s a commitment to generational decisions that protect responsible zoning, strengthen our quality of life, and create economic opportunity for families to live and work in Coweta.

COWETA FIRST

Coweta County is a special place. Families move here for the space, the rural character, and the quality of life that has been carefully protected for generations. As your Commissioner, my focus will be simple: put Coweta FIRST in every decision.

Protect Zoning and Our Land-Use Plan

  • Respect the Coweta Comprehensive Plan as the guide for responsible growth.

  • Protect Rural Conservation areas and ensure zoning protections actually mean something.

  • Require major projects to demonstrate infrastructure capacity before rezoning decisions are made.

  • Maintain transparency so property owners know the rules will be honored.

Leadership That Shows Up

  • Hold regular District 3 town halls and meet directly with citizens.

  • Personally visit sites involved in major rezonings before voting.

  • Ask the hard questions about water usage, power demand, traffic impacts, and long-term infrastructure costs.

  • Ensure residents have a meaningful voice before major decisions are made.

Strengthening Parks and Recreation

  • Invest in maintenance and upgrades for existing facilities such as Hunter Complex, Whitlock Park, and Andrew Bailey Park.

  • Ensure older facilities receive attention alongside new SPLOST investments like Fischer Road Park.

  • Improve athletic complexes so Coweta can host regional tournaments and youth sporting events.

  • Use parks and recreation to strengthen community life while supporting local businesses.

Transparency on Major Infrastructure Projects

  • Improve communication with residents regarding large infrastructure projects affecting Coweta.

  • Ensure nearby property owners are informed early when projects may impact their community.

  • Advocate for transparency when utilities plan projects that affect Coweta residents.

Housing Affordability and Property Rights

  • Explore relaxing minimum home size requirements in rural areas outside HOAs and private subdivisions.

  • Allow property owners flexibility to build smaller homes when building codes and zoning requirements are met.

  • Support responsible housing options that allow families, retirees, and workers to afford homes in Coweta.

Strategic Land Investment

  • Explore purchasing land for long-term county planning and conservation.

  • Preserve some land permanently for Rural Conservation.

  • Study opportunities for thoughtfully planned housing options, including housing that helps teachers, first responders, and public servants live in the communities they serve.

Smart Economic Development

  • Work with the Coweta County Development Authority to attract quality employers.

  • Focus on companies that create stable jobs and strengthen the county tax base.

  • Explore opportunities to repurpose existing warehouse and industrial space.

  • Recruit businesses that match Coweta’s workforce and infrastructure.

Balanced Growth for the Future

  • Support economic growth that strengthens Coweta without overwhelming infrastructure or community character.

  • Ensure development contributes fairly to roads, utilities, and public services.

  • Protect the quality of life that brought families to Coweta County.

  • Speaking at a Coweta County meeting at the County Fairgrounds, pushing for a stronger data center ordinance to protect Rural Conservation land and uphold the Comprehensive Plan.

  • Days after qualifying, I spent time with residents in Lake Hills listening to concerns about data centers and annexation.

  • Pizza and Politics event at Partners Pizza with CJ and Misty Caballero discussing the future of Coweta County.

  • When the league needed a coach, I stepped in to lead the Fireball Furies, my daughter’s team - I could not have done it without Coach Trey!

  • Great evening at the Georgia GOP Marksmanship & BBQ event at Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna. Good catching up with Andre Stafford, Melanie Collier, Jim Tully, and Salleigh Grubbs.

  • Honored to be part of the Republican Leadership for Georgia Class of 2026. Looking forward to learning from leaders across our state and bringing those insights back to Coweta County.

  • Spent some time helping with a Newnan Habitat for Humanity house build, and they put me to work with a paintbrush. Great project and a great cause helping families in our community.

A proud two-time graduate of Georgia State University (Go Panthers!), He spent 10 years in the corporate world before serving 17 years in education, where he taught, coached, and mentored students.

Today, as a business professional and community advocate, Tim understands the concerns Coweta families are talking about around the kitchen table: data center expansion, thoughtful development, protecting zoning, and preserving the character of our county.

If you live in District 3, I’d love to meet you.

Over the next few weeks I’m making time to meet neighbors for breakfast, lunch, or coffee to talk about the issues that matter most to you.

No speeches. No agenda. Just conversation.

Questions about development, zoning, infrastructure, or the future of our community? Ideas you think county leadership should hear?
