I’m a Georgia State Representative. I look forward to listening to affirmative and negative arguments with an unbiased perspective. The focus will be on evidence and fact based points backed through citations. When the arguments and facts are close or tied. A consideration of style, delivery, and grammar will be taken into consideration. Notes will be taken on a notepad focused on capturing the key points debaters make. I expect the highest level of decorum in each round, free from profanity, personal attacks, and tantrums. Following rules and respect to one another will be an expectation.

I am in my second year coaching speech and debate. When judging debate, I tend to favor clear arguments that utilize all aspects of ethos, pathos, and logos.

For PF in particular:

Keep in mind that PF is about effectively convincing the judge of a superior instance of closing off your opponents’ arguments.

As PF is a team competition, I will pay attention to the cohesiveness of the team.

Preparation and agility to adapt to an opposing team’s arguments cohesively and persuasively while remaining professional is an obvious skill and rates well.

Introduce and defend relevant evidence against your opponents’ arguments. In contrast, be effective in undermining your opponents’ evidence when you spot weaknesses.

A less critical but relevant note: spreading is not penalized or ignored but can be hard to follow/keep up which may not help. Quality most often bests quantity.
