#HeadStart & #EarlyHeadStart provide millions of children with physical, cognitive, social, & emotional development skills & a strong start in life. Yesterday, I met with Head Start leaders from Southwest Georgia to discuss how Congress can ensure they have the resources to help Georgia’s families.
Happy Birthday, U.S. Air Force! Established on Sep. 18, 1947, it ensures that when there is trouble, America dominates in the air. GA02 is home to Robins AFB, and I proudly support all Americans who sacrifice & serve our country by joining the ranks of Airmen who protect our country.

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’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.
