Who is Austin Magee?

Candidate-stated

I was born, raised, worked, went to high school and college all right here in district 5. I’m the proud small business owner of Pittman Industrial, a welding and mechanical company that works all throughout our state. I highly doubt any politician has worked harder or gotten dirtier than me, I beat the sun up every day and a 16 hour shift is absolutely not out of the normal. I believe leadership starts with understanding real work, real responsibility, and real consequences.

Who is Austin Magee?

Candidate position

I try to live my life with the ideal that I would rather be wronged than wrong someone else, and while that hasn’t always put me ahead in life, I can go into a political race with a clean conscience. As a father, nothing scares me more than seeing freedoms and individual liberties eroded away by an overreaching government.
