Garry Qualifies to Run for the 106th District
On July 22nd, Garry and members of his family went to the State Capitol building in Atlanta to formally qualify for the 106th district seat.
After qualifying with the Secretary of State,, Garry and his family stood outside the Capitol building with a huge Vote Garry banner.
Reflecting on the ceremony, Rhodes said, "Government has become a burden to the business community. We need to redirect our focus back to a Government established of the people, by the people, and for the people."
Following the ceremony, Garry and his family went to the Atlanta Civic Center to particpate in a round table on Social Security with President Bush.

Over the next few weeks leading up to the election, Garry will be going out to meet with voters to talk to them about his ideas and goals for representing the district in the Georgia House of Representatives.
Who's in the 106th House District?
The 106th House District consists of the city of Snellville, along with portions of Lilburn, Centerville, Grayson, and Lawrenceville. The district runs from Webb Gin House Road on the north, around Brookwood High School and Dogwood Drive to Five Forks Trickum Road. It follows Five Forks Trickum to the Yellow River, and then south to Highway 78.
The District's southern boundary follows Ross Road to Bethany Church. It then follows Centerville Highway to Springdale Road, and then along Lenora Church Road to Temple Johnson Road, and finally up Rosebud Road to Highway 78. The eastern boundary is roughly Big Haynes Creek, to Bennett Road, and then back to Webb Gin House.
Now, these borders aren't exact - particularly along the edges. We also have a detailed 106th District Map that shows the exact boundaries in red. You'll need the Adobe Reader in order to view it. If you're registered to vote, your State House District is on your voter registration card, or you can determine your district at the Georgia Secretary of State Poll Locator.
