This transportation corridor would benefit Middle and Southwest Georgia, helping our local businesses more easily get goods to and from market. In the long run, that means lower costs at the store and less expensive drives for families along the route.

Last week, I met with the Chattahoochee Valley Infrastructure Coalition and discussed the proposed I-14 interstate highway, which would run from Midland, Texas, to Augusta, Georgia.
It also helps inform my work as a senior Democrat on the U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs.

I use the survey's results when I organize the Military Family Summit, an annual event organized through the bipartisan Congressional Military Family Caucus which I co-founded and now co-chair with Congresswoman Jen Kiggans of Virginia.
This survey is a useful tool for me and my colleagues & the U.S. Defense Department & U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to get the pulse of our military families, the challenges they face, and opportunities for improvement that Congress & the Administration can make to their quality of life.
Last week, I joined Blue Star Families on Capitol Hill where they unveiled the results of their 2025 Military Lifestyle Survey.
It is also featured as a seminal moment in the Library of Congress’s Civil Rights Act Exhibition. You can read all about it online at www.loc.gov/exhibits/civ....
The next spring, Albany’s city commission removed all segregation statutes from its books.
As such, the Albany Movement was at the vanguard of the modern civil rights era which moved our country towards greater alignment with its highest ideals.
While the Albany Movement met fierce resistance, its efforts yielded victories that benefited democracy for all Americans. The Movement was joined by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was jailed in Albany for his fight for justice.
Charles Sherrod, Cordell Reagon, and Charles Jones came to Albany to register voters and were joined by several community organizations in support of this noble mission. A young Black American physician, William G. Anderson, was chosen as the Movement's president.
The Albany Movement began in the fall of 1961, starting with just three young members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
During Black History Month, I would like to highlight the rich contribution that Middle and Southwest Georgia has made to our country’s history.
Albany is known as the as the cultural hub of southwest Georgia and played a crucial role in our country's history and Civil Rights Movement.
All of this makes our nation stronger from coast-to-coast, across industries, and in public service – from Congress and our courts to the White House and our Armed Forces as well as state and local governments throughout the country.
Congress continues to recognize that Scouting engages young men and women, instills in them values, builds their character, and promotes leadership.
I am proud to join my colleagues, fellow Eagle Scouts and co-Chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Scouting Caucus, Representatives Thompson, and Sessions, in introducing a resolution, this week, to celebrate Scouting America.

Yesterday, I voted for a funding bill that reopened the federal government and allows Congress to focus on ICE and protect the public's safety.

TSA would like to remind everyone about REAL ID and CONFIRM ID. Know before you go!
Today, we discussed the progress the U.S. Space Force has made & how Congress can support its continued success through improving military family childcare, financial security, healthcare, & more.
I just met with Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force, John Bentivegna. We last spoke at the U.S. House Appropriations Committee’s Quality of Military Life Hearing last April.
