Campaign themes
2011
Moxley's Facebook page highlighted the following campaign themes:
- "With a heart to lead and hands to serve, George Moxley wants to represent the people of Wayne, Brantley, and Pierce Counties in Atlanta. George wants to work to combat a growing drug problem in our district. He also has a deep passion to improve our school systems and give our children a brighter future. As a pastor, George can speak to the effects of a broken economy better than most. He has seen the number of people who come to the food bank he started more than double since the economy took a turn for the worst. As a native of Wayne County, George knows the people of this area and he plans to do everything in his power to protect our South Georgia values. George Moxley is a work horse not a show horse, and he is determined to get things done. We would appreciate your support!"
