Sadiq Poised to defeat Moody

 

Akhtar Sadiq, Democratic Candidate for State Senate District 56, has won the residency challenge brought by the Georgia Secretary of State and is poised to win the State Senate seat occupied by Dan Moody.    

 

“Georgian's are sick and tired of the infighting and lack of progress at the State Capitol.  As a business consultant, my specialty is improving results for business owners,” said Sadiq.  “I promise all of my constituents that I will improve the results for them when I am elected their State Senator.”

 

Sadiq was challenged by Secretary of State Karen Handel during her sweeping attempts to remove Democratic candidates from the ballot.  “I am thankful that today, we can continue our campaign to bring new leadership and change to our district,” Sadiq said.  “The voters are ready, and now that there are no barriers left, our campaign will take our message directly to the doors of the voters.”

 

In 2006, the Georgia Secretary of State honored Sadiq with the Outstanding Leadership in the Community award as well as the Outstanding Georgia Citizen award.  Currently, Sadiq serves as the Treasurer on the Board of Directors for the U.S. Navy League and is an Honorary Commander for the Department of Defense.

 

“I am running for State Senate because I have the skills and experience necessary to strengthen our local community and a proven track record of working successfully with Democrats and Republicans – something we haven't seen from Dan Moody,” Sadiq concluded.

 

Sadiq earned 48% of all votes cast in State Senate District 56 on July 15, 2008, which shows the district is in play this fall.   Sadiq recently celebrated his 40th Wedding Anniversary with his wife Amina.  Sadiq is very proud of his children, his daughter Fauzia, architect, and his son Jeff, President and CEO of a real estate and investment company.  Both are Harvard University graduates and his daughter graduated Suma Cum Laude from Georgia Tech, majoring in Architecture.  Amina is also an employee of Georgia Tech.
