I am concerned when the administration guts funds for Medicare and Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks,...
Community health clinics bear a lot of the strain on our healthcare system.
Last Wednesday, I had the chance to catch up with Albany Area Primary Health Care, Inc. While being honored with the Distinguished Community Health Advocate Award, I know that we still have much work to do ensuring quality health care remains affordable & accessible close to home for all Americans.
Higher education helps train the next generation of innovators who will drive scientific discovery, improve medicine, develop the new technology that improves our lives, create new businesses and industries, entertain and inspire us, and more!
Congress can help ensure higher education remains affordable by supporting Pell Grants and making sure that student loan rates are fair and predictable.
Last week, I met with student financial aid administrators from Mercer University, Savannah Technical College, and Georgia Tech. Everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue higher education, and our country needs to support those who do so we can tap our fullest potential.
He was my constituent, but I am blessed to have been able to call him my friend and mentor. As we celebrate this holiday, join me in celebrating President Jimmy Carter’s life and legacy.
Even after leaving America’s highest post of public service, he never retired from his humanitarian work that spanned many countries and uplifted everyone. He remains an inspiration for generations to come.
Jimmy Carter lived a life of noble service, Christian character, and acted in a manner that reflected our country’s greatest ideals. Through it all, he remained a committed and loving family man, especially to his partner in life, Rosalynn.
This Presidents’ Day, I would like to honor Jimmy Carter. He was the 39th President of the United States and a proud son of Plains, Georgia.
Students who are armed with knowledge, skills and experiences turn out successful adults who can support their families, ensure America remains a world leader and remain at the vanguard of science and industry.
I was happy to have this opportunity to discuss this program and other legislation before Congress. I will always work hard on Capitol Hill to make sure that we, and the U.S. Department of Education, are wisely investing in our children’s education.
Accelerate is an excellent national program committed to using personalized tutoring programs to close education achievement gaps that have widened since the COVID pandemic.
This Tuesday, I met with the Georgia Department of Education about the Accelerate program which helps children who need extra academic help after the pandemic.
The museum is part of the National Park Service's African American Civil Rights Network which was created by Congress through the African American Civil Rights Network Act of 2017 which President Trump signed into law.

The museum partners with local schools and youth organizations to teach young people about the significant contributions of Black Americans to our nation’s history. Today, the museum has over 4,600 artifacts that tell the story of how Black Americans have built and shaped America.
Some notable exhibits include African-American Life on the Southern Hunting Plantation and Lt. Henry O. Flipper. Lt. Flipper of Thomasville was the first Black graduate of West Point and was part of the Buffalo Soldiers, the U.S. Army regiment made up entirely of Black soldiers.
The one-of-a-kind collection features Black history from across the country, but it’s focus is on the numerous achievements of Black Americans in Southwest Georgia.
Mr. Jack Hadley, the museum’s founder and curator, has been collecting pieces of Black history and memorabilia since his time in the United States Air Force in the 1960s. He officially opened the museum location in 2006 on the campus of a former segregated high school.
