State Senate 56 

 

        Today, Georgia State Senator Curt Thompson, of District 5 in Gwinnett County, officially endorsed Akhtar Sadiq.  Sadiq is seeking election in State Senate District 56. 

"We need leadership at the state Capitol that understands finance and budget planning so we can prevent future budget shortfalls like the one we are currently experiencing," said Thompson who has been representing his district for the past several years.  Thompson went on to say, "with 40 years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies and helping entrepreneurs grow business, I know Akhtar Sadiq is the man for the job and I look forward to working with him in the State Senate." 

 

"It is an honor to be endorsed by such a well respect public servant as Curt Thompson," 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."

"Children should be our first priority, and the State Budget should reflect that," said Sadiq.  "My first priority will be to restore funding to education that was stripped by my opponent," Sadiq went on to say, "I will also work to restore PeachCare to the 21,000 children who lost it in the last legislative session. "

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. "The Senate should work for the people of Georgia for a change.
