During debate, I shared my concerns that the majority continues to make deep cuts to the Internal Revenue Service's enforcement budget.
On Friday, the House Appropriations subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee started consideration of its Fiscal Year 2027 funding bill.

I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress and find common ground where possible with Sec. Rollins to make sure we take care of our producers and rural communities.
Questions & Answers w/Sec. Rollins:

The economic stress from the cost of military strikes and cuts to agricultural, healthcare, housing, and nutrition programs has affected everything from the cost of putting food on the table to being able to afford housing and having quality healthcare close to home.
In the last year, prices have skyrocketed – especially since the start of U.S. military strikes in Iran – for everything from fuel and diesel to the inputs our farmers need to grow the food and materials America needs.
Last week, I wrapped up my most recent round of meetings in the Second Congressional District with agricultural producers, ag industry groups, and rural community organizations.
Also, I noted that Sec. Rollins is building on the achievements of previous Administrations, both Democratic and Republican, to address disaster relief and other safety net issues.
During yesterday’s hearing, I let Sec. Rollins know about my constituents’ dismay with drastic cuts and shocking eliminations to USDA programs and staff on which farmers and families rely.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to raise some concerns with USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins when she testified before Congress about the President’s proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget.

These discussions help inform my work in Congress on behalf of GA which has over 22 million acres of timberland. Our state exports almost $4 billion each year in forest products, the most of any state in the nation. The booming industry also provides almost 150,000 jobs to hardworking Georgians.
And, last week, I met with the Georgia Forestry Commission in Marion County as part of a series of meetings that I had with ag producers across several counties in the Second Congressional District.
We discussed issues currently facing forest landowners and timber producers, including fixing an unworkable definition of woody biomass under the Renewable Fuel Standard which would create uses for otherwise discarded timber byproducts like wood chips and sawdust.
On Tuesday, I met with members of the National Alliance of Forest Owners.
An Honorable Mention award goes to Jemiah Hall from Dougherty Comprehensive High School, Albany, Georgia, whose artwork is titled, “Soul of the Orchid.”
The 3rd place winner is Makayla Bailey, an 11th grade student at Monroe High School in Albany, Georgia, whose work is titled “Rooted in Remembrance.”
This year’s 2nd place winner, Brianna Edward, is an 11th grade student at Thomasville High School in Thomasville, Georgia, whose work is titled “Moving Forward.”
This year’s 1st place winner is Queasia Arnold, a 12th grade student at Westover High School in Albany, Georgia, whose work is titled, “Chin Up.”
These young artists contribute to the rich fabric of our community, and I am grateful for our schools, art faculties, community art organizations, museums, parents, and others who all play a crucial role in nurturing their talent and success.
