Streamlining Government & Cutting Taxes

Mickey Channell believes that the government must do more with less. He has voted for over two billion dollars in tax cuts since he became your state representative in 1992, giving Georgia one of the lowest overall tax rates in the nation. Mickey believes in a limited and accountable government, supporting individual liberty and free enterprise. His vision includes eliminating property taxes on the first $50,000 of value on all homes in Georgia, continuing to reduce the amount our senior citizens pay on retirement income and continuing to run our state with conservative fiscal policies, ensuring our taxes remain as low as possible.
