Voice Over (Hank Johnson)

Do you want a Congressman who represents your values?
Who understands what’s important to you?
Who cares about your security and your safety?
Someone who will take care of home first!

Someone who’s able
Someone who cares
Someone who’s willing,
Who’ll always be there at the table
Solving the problems for you and for me

A strong reputation for taking the lead
A brand new direction
That’s what we all need
To be able
To start building a better---- community

With all of   the issues concerning our kids
We need strong representation
And things like our healthcare, our safety and bad transportation

Vote For Hank Johnson For Congress
Cause he’s just better than the rest
He’s the answer, the solution
For Taking Care of Home

Bringing together all of us
Cause a new direction is a must
Vote Hank Johnson, the solution
For Taking Care of Home
