As we head into 2026, I will steadfastly work in Congress to ensure these programs remain strong, transparent, and focused on real conservation outcomes that serve Georgia’s farmers and families.

Middle and Southwest Georgia farmers have been a driving force for conservation efforts, benefiting from federal resources under Democratic and Republican administrations to continue to produce the highest quality, most abundant and affordable food and fiber.
This month, USDA announced its Regenerative Agriculture Pilot. Interested producers should submit applications to their local NRCS office by January 15, 2026.
This program builds on the EQIP and CSP programs that our farmers have relied on for decades for soil health and reducing input costs.

Today, the U.S. Space Force celebrates its 6th birthday! 🎉 The newest branch of our military ensures America's national security in space, and it protects communications & GPS, on which we rely every day. It was an honor to welcome these Guardians this week & thank them for their service.
Yesterday, I joined my colleagues on the House steps to urge him to immediately bring this ACA tax credit extension bill to a vote.

Fortunately, several Republican House Members have joined Democrats on a discharge petition to force a vote on a bill to extend ACA tax credits. The House Speaker must call a vote but has yet to do so.
This week, I voted against a bill pushed by GOP leadership that not only failed to extend ACA tax credits, but also threatened to leave patients with less protection, destabilize the insurance market, and put Americans on the hook for big medical bills not covered by insurance.
... to ensure that the $1 billion in relief reserved for specialty crops are quickly and fairly distributed through a clear process that reflects the unique nature of specialty crop production.
Today, as a co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Specialty Crop Caucus along with Reps. Costa of CA, Rouzer of NC, and Valadao of CA – and joined by over 100 of my Democratic and Republican colleagues – I called on the Congressional Ag Committee leaders...
Specialty crop growers contribute over $75 billion annually to the U.S. economy, yet they continue to face rising input costs, limited access to labor, trade disruptions, and other unprecedented challenges.

To date, President Trump has ordered airstrikes on at least 23 vessels, killing at least 86 civilians. He also threatened military action against Venezuela.
Yesterday, I voted with Democrats and Republicans for two War Powers resolutions that were introduced to halt the ongoing use of military force by the Trump Administration in the Caribbean without Congressional authorization.

Today, I met w/ JS Link America, a global manufacturer of rare earth permanent magnets about their planned facility in Columbus. The project is expected to 520+ jobs in Muscogee County & strengthen GA’s role in U.S. supply chains for aerospace, mobility, & energy w/ worker safety as a top priority.
#Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate! May your holiday nights be filled with peace, light, and joy. Chag Sameach!
Finally, these bills have teeth, and they include robust enforcement mechanisms to ensure that the PBMs comply.

With the high cost of prescription drugs, it is important that when we can get savings, these are shared with patients and providers, not just pocketed by the middlemen. These bills do that by reforming PBM rebate practices.
These bills will prevent the PBMs from steering patients towards PBM-owned pharmacies, allowing patients to use the pharmacists of their choice and expanding access to prescription drug care.
