With Fort Benning, Robins Air Force Base, and Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, GA’s 2nd Congressional District is home to thousands of military families &veterans, so working on their behalf is not just a matter of principle, it is at the heart of our community.

I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from AUSA. Our national defense and security are built on a foundation of the people who serve, ensuring that they are the best equipped fighting force in the world, & that their families are taken care of so that they can focus on the mission at hand.
We were joined by the family of U.S. Capitol Police officers whose lives were lost because of this attack, and we remember the brave Capitol Police who risked their lives in protection of democracy.
Today, I joined my colleagues in Congress commemorating the 5th Anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
My wife, Vivian, & I offer our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, & all who mourn his loss.
Today, I mourn the passing of Rep. Doug LaMalfa of California.
He was a hardworking member of Congress & will be greatly missed. I enjoyed our camaraderie as co-chairs of the Congressional Automotive Performance & Motorsports Caucus.
#HappyNewYear! Wishing you and your family a prosperous and bright 2026!
I also introduced two bills to help military families, the Military Housing Performance Insight Act (September) as well as the Stabilizing Tours to Advance Readiness Act (November). You can read about the bills on my website:

Earlier this month, I testified to the U.S. House Veterans’ Affairs Committee about my bill, the Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act.

One of the events the caucus organizes each year is the Military Family Summit. This August, we hosted it at the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center in Columbus, GA. You can watch the presentations and panels here:

Making sure that Congress does its best for America’s military families will continue to be a top priority of mine in the new year!
This year, I was honored to once again co-chair the bipartisan Congressional Military Family Caucus, which I co-founded with former Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington and now co-chair with Rep. Jen Kiggans of Virginia.
As #Kwanzaa begins we are reminded of its principles: strength of family, community, and shared values that guide us forward. Happy Kwanzaa to all that celebrate this holiday season!
#MerryChristmas to all and may this season be one of joy, blessings, and hope!
As we head into 2026, I will steadfastly work in Congress to ensure these programs remain strong, transparent, and focused on real conservation outcomes that serve Georgia’s farmers and families.
Middle and Southwest Georgia farmers have been a driving force for conservation efforts, benefiting from federal resources under Democratic and Republican administrations to continue to produce the highest quality, most abundant and affordable food and fiber.
This month, USDA announced its Regenerative Agriculture Pilot. Interested producers should submit applications to their local NRCS office by January 15, 2026.
This program builds on the EQIP and CSP programs that our farmers have relied on for decades for soil health and reducing input costs.
