Hayden Collins

Hayden Collins was among eleven candidates that spoke at the Republican Party headquarters in Cartersville on Thursday evening.  During his presentation, Hayden emphasized the need for smaller government, attracting businesses and jobs, and support for education.

Recognizing support for new ideas and new approaches, Hayden pointed out that no incumbent from this year’s Georgia General Assembly can claim they did not raise taxes or did not cut education.  Hayden’s concept of the Bridge School model was discussed by other candidates, as well. “These ideas are having an influence that reaches beyond Bartow County, and will go forward, regardless of who wins the Republican primaries, because a good idea is hard to stop.”

After the meeting, Hayden and Sandra Collins met supporters for dinner at a restaurant in downtown Cartersville.  The conversation included a healthy serving of issues, such as the multiple commissioner program for Bartow County, and concerns of the Altoona community including the distribution of SPLOST sales tax funds.  Hayden thanked the supporters for a great meal while supporting a local business, and for the questions about his and Sandra’s decision to run for State Representative.
