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!
I will work hard in Congress, across the aisle, to prevent efforts to privatize the program, attempts by DOGE to steal and make vulnerable Americans’ private information, and the Administration’s moves to gut federal workers needed to get people their checks and respond to their claims.
Today, we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act. Georgians earn Social Security through a lifetime of hard work. I will continue to protect this vital program that helps seniors, veterans, and disabled live their lives with greater financial security.
This airport is important to our families, businesses, and even our military. We want to make sure it is modern, up-to-date, and safe for travel and to support continued economic growth.
As a senior appropriator in the U.S. House, I always work to ensure that Congress and the federal government are reliable partners with Columbus and communities throughout Middle & Southwest Georgia to make the needed investments in our infrastructure.
I was happy to be a part of this week’s groundbreaking at the Columbus Airport as they start major renovations of one of its two major runways. The project is supported by $24 million in federal funds.
The events today will not only be felt at Fort Stewart but across our entire military. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the casualties and all those impacted by this unfortunate occurrence.
We remain focused on the security, safety, and wellbeing of all our servicemembers, military families, civilian personnel, and the surrounding communities.
I am alarmed and saddened to learn of today's active shooting and lockdown at Fort Stewart. With 13 military installations in Georgia, and 3 in the Second Congressional District, I am closely monitoring this situation.
We need to protect these programs against bad actors and the draconian cuts this Administration is pushing so that they are most efficiently serving America’s seniors, people with disabilities, children, new mothers, and low-income families.
For 60 years, Medicare and Medicaid have helped ensure everyone has healthcare without crippling medical debt. Today, these programs cover more than 140 million Americans. Healthcare goes hand in hand with the ability to work and providing financial stability for your family and yourself as you age.
I was happy to host the Concord Coalition which mediated the exercise and recognize them for their ongoing educational efforts.

Last month, I hosted a budget workshop in Albany, Georgia, to discuss fiscal responsibility, debate policy solutions to the healthcare, hunger, and other challenges our communities face, and find consensus on what they would like Congress and the federal government to prioritize.
The CBO also confirmed that the law will add $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit… all to pay for tax breaks, the vast majority of which go to billionaires.
