Today is #ConstitutionDay, a reminder of the rights & freedoms all Americans enjoy and for which we are responsible & accountable to one another. The Founders created this living document & I will continue to uphold & defend it.

Georgia Ag 🌱 isn’t just business, it’s a way of life. It helps feed, clothe, & beautify America. I met w/ AmericanHort today to discuss how Congress can invest in the research, provide the tools, & ensure affordability that help farmers & families thrive. 🚜
Proud to co-lead H.R. 1107, introduced by Rep. Womack (R-AR), that the U.S. House passed yesterday. Our bipartisan effort ensures veterans have access, in-person & virtually, to quality care. This bill helps provide seamless and efficient care for those who have served our country.
Today is National Voter Registration Day! Your voice is a cornerstone of our democracy. Registering to vote is the first step to making it heard.

Today’s terrorist threats targeting Clark Atlanta University, Alabama State U., Virginia State U., Hampton U. & other campuses must be investigated by federal authorities. Religious, race/ethnicity, or sex-based violence is despicable, hateful extremism & an assault on American ideals.
And as competitors like China invest strongly in STEM, this bill guts science education & research which drive innovation, create new economic opportunities, and are the foundation military strength and national security.
The bill slashes programs that help American businesses develop, create jobs, & compete in the world market.
Yesterday, I raised concerns about a federal funding bill we debated that eliminates thousands of law enforcement positions needed to fight organized crime, terrorists, and cyberattacks against our country. It also leaves women and children vulnerable to domestic violence.

We will #NeverForget the Sep. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center & Pentagon. We solemnly remember the lives lost in NY, DC, and PA but remain inspired by our first responders & how our country banded together to respond, rebuild, & stand tall once again.
Political violence of any kind and against any individual is unacceptable and incompatible with our country’s values and ideals. My thoughts and prayers go to Charlie Kirk’s family during this tragedy.
Congress must support quality public education so that everyone can contribute to our nation’s success.
That same afternoon, I spoke in support of an amendment to the FY26 LHHS funding bill, which covers the Dept. of Education, to restore Title 1 funding. Education is key to Americans’ economic mobility and our country’s economic competitiveness.
Title 1 funds make sure that students in every corner of the country have the resources to learn and succeed, which can be especially challenging in rural areas with smaller tax bases that can struggle to support local schools.
Yesterday, I spoke with Georgia school board members who shared how Title 1 funds are needed to make sure there are enough teachers to serve students. But the current FY26 LHHS funding bill would cut thousands of teaching jobs in Georgia.

Yesterday, we debated the federal funding bill that covers education, workforce, & healthcare. Drastic cuts, including those to Job Corps & the Centers for Disease Control, threaten our economy, undermine public safety, & make healthcare more expensive for Georgians.

Congress should be a reliable partner helping our states, counties, and cities with resources to keep their election systems up-to-date and ensure public confidence in our country’s elections.
Protecting the integrity of our elections must be a top priority in Congress. Election machines get old and there is a constant threat by outside actors to maliciously attack election systems.

This bill is a slap in the face to hard-working Americans and families. I urged my colleagues to incorporate bipartisan amendments that would improve the bill.
During debate in committee today, I highlighted my concerns with the Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Services and General Government funding bill because it weakens the agencies and the programs that protect consumers, supports small businesses, and safeguards our democracy.

This Labor Day let’s celebrate and remember to support hard-working Americans from the farm to the factory, from the storeroom to the storefront, from the classroom to the boardroom, and everywhere in between, American workers are the bedrock of our country’s strength and prosperity!
