I will continue to work hard so that Congress remains a reliable partner for Buena Vista’s families and communities throughout Middle and Southwest Georgia.
Ensuring local law enforcement has up-to-date equipment and technology means quicker response times, better communication, and coordination with one other. This helps save lives and makes communities safer
Last Saturday, I was in Buena Vista to present a ceremonial check to Mayor Brown & Police Chief Faulk representing funds that I secured for the Police Department to replace old patrol vehicles & make upgrades to other police vehicles, including dashboard camera video systems & mobile data terminals.
Smaller, rural communities are often faced with a double-edged challenge. Providing services over a greater geographical area but with a smaller rate-payer base to support these basic needs – including public services, utilities, and law enforcement.
a mask ban, judicial warrant requirements, independent investigations when agents break the law, better and longer training, use of force protocols, mandatory body cameras, and an end to the storming of sensitive locations like houses of worship, schools, and hospitals.
As we negotiate if and how we will fund DHS this fiscal year, I and my fellow Democrats have called for commonsense fixes:
Republicans can no longer hold this as leverage against us and allows us to be laser-focused on addressing the concerns we have with ICE.
Congress has done its job to fund the federal government’s departments and agencies, ensuring that crucial services like housing, healthcare, nutrition, education, utilities, public safety, and others continue for the American people.
We also addressed its effects on U.S. citizens and lawful immigrants across the country. I had the opportunity to ask a few questions.
This morning, House Democrats hosted a panel of witnesses to discuss the lawlessness, lack of transparency, and absence of accountability we have seen by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Yesterday, I along with Reps. Carter and Allen, introduced the Farmers’ AID Relief Act which will apply the lessons we learned from Hurricane Helene so that, when the next storm hits us, we are better prepared to help farmers in need.

I will continue to work hard in Congress to make sure that federal programs have the resources needed to partner with state and local governments to build our infrastructure to meet this country’s growing needs and keep it safe.
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....
