While I am glad that Secretary Kennedy heard the outrage of elected officials, community leaders, accountability courts, law enforcement, patient advocates, & families across our country who are coping with the challenges of addiction and mental health, ...

Yesterday, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. reinstated billions of dollars in Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grants that he had cancelled less than 24 hours earlier.
Georgians should be able to trust that the government is spending their taxpayer dollars fairly, and this bill reasserts Congress’s Constitutional authority to direct the Trump Administration’s spending.

It supports the IRS mission to be as responsive as possible to the taxpayer and seeks to ensure they get the refunds they are owed in a timely manner.
Hardworking Georgians are the driving force of our state’s economy. This bill makes sure that the federal government is a solid partner as they set up businesses.
While this bill is far from perfect, it keeps the federal government open and working for the people and is a great improvement over the bill that initially came out of committee.
Today, I voted for H.R. 7006, a bipartisan funding bill that covers financial services, general government, national security, and the U.S. Department of State.
See below re: these 9 projects in Middle & SW GA that help hardworking families have access to affordable, clean water & help communities update equipment for local law enforcement, fight child abuse & domestic violence, & continue improvements to Lake Seminole.

The funding that I secured supports our counties, towns, schools, and community organizations. It improves the quality of life for families throughout Georgia’s Second Congressional District, whether they live in urban or rural areas.
Georgians work hard and Congress should be matching that effort to ensure that they can afford to live in safe communities with clean water.
Instead of making good quality care more affordable, Congressional Republican leaders are asking Americans to accept less coverage, less quality, and take on more of the cost for their health care treatment.
The ACA enhanced tax credits were allowed to expire to help pay for billionaire tax breaks in the ‘big, ugly bill’ passed last July.
Today, I, along with a bipartisan group of U.S. House members, passed a bill to restore the ACA enhanced tax credits and make good quality health care affordable again. The U.S. Senate must quickly pass this bill, and the President should sign this into law.

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!
