DeKalb Sheriff Endorses Sadiq

State Senate 56

 

            Today, Sheriff Thomas Brown of DeKalb County officially endorsed Akhtar Sadiq.  Sadiq is seeking election in State Senate District 56. 

"Law enforcement benefits when state leaders understand that public safety must have the financial resources to protect its citizenry," said Brown who has been Sheriff of DeKalb County for the past several years.  Brown went on to say, "I believe Sadiq has good common sense and will make sure that important agencies such as public safety will be adequately funded.  Sadiq understands that now more than we must be vigilant and have the resources to perform our job." 

 

"It is an honor to be endorsed by such a well respect public servant as Sheriff Brown," said Sadiq, a business and financial consultant with more than 40 years experience with Fortune 500, multi-national industries, and one of the "Big 4" CPA Firms. Sadiq wants to bring his knowledge and work ethic to the Capitol to restore accountability to the Georgia Senate.  "The people of Georgia and of District 56 are not being served under the Gold Dome," said Sadiq; "I will work hard to address our most pressing issues while planning for our long-term needs."

"Our children must be safe in order to thrive.  It is important to make sure that Public Safety has the resources to protect not only the citizens but the adequate resources to protect its employees," said Sadiq. 

In 2006, Sadiq received the Outstanding Leadership in the Community and Outstanding Georgia Citizen Awards from Secretary of State Cathy Cox.  Sadiq serves as Treasurer and an Officer of the US Navy League Board and is involved in numerous civic organizations.  Actions speak louder than words.  Sadiq's actions demonstrate his commitment to his community and making Georgia a better place for our children and families. "I have the knowledge and experience to work through a budget until it makes sense," said Sadiq. "It is time for change the Senate should work for the people of Georgia."
