He is most

proud of his "success in cutting taxes for senior citizens in Butts

and Henry counties by reducing or, in a lot of cases, completely eliminating

the school tax on seniors," he said.

His stated

goals for continued service in the General Assembly are to reduce the

size of government, decrease the tax burden on citizens, increase personal

freedoms, empower the family, and encourage personal responsibility.

"Lunsford

is one of the hardest-working members of the House of Representatives;

he has been given the nickname 'Lightbulb' because he always has an idea

and a solution for the problem," said House minority leader Lynn

Westmoreland. "Of course, that should be obvious when you look at

how much work he does."

Lunsford serves

on the Children and Youth Committee, as well as the Retirement, Health

and Ecology committees. His experience as a small business owner as well

as running a national and international corporation has been extremely

beneficial as a state representative, he said.

He worked for

12 years as president and chief executive officer of Harvard Chemical

Research Corporation, an Atlanta-based manufacturing company with national

distribution. The company grew by more than 30 percent during his tenure

as president, he said.

He also spent

10 years as executive vice president of a privately held Georgia corporation

which received an award from the governor as one of the fastest-growing

businesses in Georgia with more than 150 offices worldwide.

Lunsford is

currently a member of the McDonough Merchants Association; vice president

and board member of Exodus House Ministries; financial chairperson for

Clubs of Georgia, a subsidiary of the YMCA; and a Partner in Education

with several local elementary schools. He is also a member of the chambers

of commerce for Butts, Lamar, Spalding, Fayette, Henry, Rockdale and Newton

counties.

He and his

wife Tina have been married for nearly 16 years and have four children.

He and his family have been actively involved in their local church for

years.
