Campaign themes

2016

Duffie's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

“ Make DeKalb County Schools great again! I remember when DeKalb County had an 82% high school graduation rate, and boasted the best schools in the state. With proper leadership, transparency, accountability, and oversight from our school board, and by putting our money into the classrooms instead of into administrative bloat–we can have great schools again.[2] ”

2014

Duffie's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]

Cityhood Movement

  • Excerpt: "Jim is a strong advocate of a citizen’s right to choose self governance and be properly represented by their elected officials. When elected, he will provide the leadership that was missing during this last session of the Legislature, and help the citizens of DeKalb County who want cityhood get on the ballot for a vote."

Reducing the Tax Burden

  • Excerpt: "As State Director of Georgian’s for Fair Taxation, Jim is passionate about capping, lowering and working toward ridding Georgia citizens of tax on their hard earned income, and move Georgia to be the leader in the Southeast in economic growth and job creation, by enacting a FairTax Model taxation plan."

Making DeKalb County Schools great again

  • Excerpt: "Jim remembers when DeKalb County had a 82% high school graduation rate, and boasted the best schools in the state. With proper leadership, calling for transparency, accountability and oversight from our school board, and putting our money into the classroom instead of administrative bloat, we can have great schools again. DeKalb’s kids deserve the best education available, and as a grandfather of 9, Jim is committed to providing a better life for all DeKalb children."
