Dear Citizens of DeKalb County:

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. More than a year ago, I announced my candidacy for the position of Chief Executive Officer of DeKalb County Georgia. Since that time, I have received overwhelming responses from citizens across DeKalb in support of me becoming their next CEO.

I am a dedicated and proven leader who has served DeKalb County communities and communities across the State of Georgia for more than thirty (30) years. I have fought for the rights of citizens in Georgia and will continue to fight for you as the next CEO of DeKalb.

As a member of the Georgia House of Representatives for the past eleven (11) years and as the Chairman of the DeKalb House Delegation, working with both Democrats and Republicans, I am deeply committed to strong communities and open and honest government. Since becoming a Representative, I have developed real solutions for the real problems facing residents of DeKalb County and residents across the State of Georgia

As your next CEO, I will continue to work aggressively for every citizen in DeKalb County. I am a coalition builder who believes that more can be accomplished together than apart and with your support I can build the bridges necessary to create a United DeKalb.

I have been a resident of DeKalb County for more than thirty (30) years. My lovely wife Pam and I have been blessed with two children, William Stanley and Cagney Denise. We are members of New Piney Grove Missionary Baptist Church, where I serve as Co-Chairman of the Deacons' Ministry and sing in the Male Chorus. I proudly served my country in the United States Navy for ten (10) years and I am proud to be a veteran.

I will be proud and very humbled to served DeKalb County as the next CEO. Please vote for me, Stan Watson, on August 5, 2008 so that together we can create a United DeKalb.

Stan Watson
