This week, I met with youth leaders from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Georgia to hear how after-school programs have shaped their lives. From academic support to mentorship, these programs are a lifeline for many kids and families.
As the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Agriculture Subcommittee and a co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Specialty Crops Caucus, I will continue to work with my colleagues to push forward in securing a reauthorized Farm Bill that helps farmers and families.
Yesterday, I met with the Georgia Corn Growers Association to discuss increasing market accessibility, rising input costs, and farm bill priorities. It is crucial that Congress supports competitive markets and improves farm safety nets.
Save the date! Next month, the Congressional Military Family Caucus will be hosting the 2025 Military Family Summit. The event will feature keynote speakers and panel discussions. It will take place at the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center on Wed., Aug. 27 from 8:30am to 3:30pm ET.
These barriers not only delay recovery but also negatively impact patients’ ability to return to work and support their families. In Congress, I will continue to fight for Americans so that they have access to affordable healthcare close to home.
Yesterday, I met with members of the American Physical Therapy Association to hear firsthand about the challenges patients face in accessing physical therapy. Many patients struggle because services are either unavailable in their communities or unaffordable.
Congress must be a part of this effort and provide resources to support all students as well as the schools, teachers, and support staff that serve them.
Public education is the cornerstone of ensuring that every American child has an opportunity to learn, succeed, and make our country the strongest it can be.
This afternoon, I met with educational professionals from Houston County to discuss the impact of funding cuts to special education programs, ongoing teacher shortages, and mental health services in school districts in Georgia.
It is an honor to help shape the future of military leadership for our nation.
As co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Military Family Caucus & a senior Democrat on the House Military Construction & Veteran Affairs Appropriations subcommittee, I am committed to ensuring our Armed Forces are the best trained, best equipped, & fully supported - on & off the battlefield.
The Board plays a vital role in supporting the mission of WestPoint by assessing key areas such as morale, academics, leadership development, infrastructure, and more - all to ensure the Academy is preparing our future military leaders for the complex challenges ahead.
Last Friday, I had the privilege of continuing my service on the United States Military Academy Board of Visitors during our first official meeting of 2025.
When natural disaster strikes, there are many challenges people face – including access to medical care/treatment. Planning ahead can help. Here are some resources provided by Medicare.

With hurricane season upon us and the increasing occurrence of destructive storms that we face, my website includes information about how to help yourself prepare and what resources the federal government and Georgia have to respond to natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is sharing information about virtual workshops in July that can help.

I will always fight to ensure that Congress and the federal government provide transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouse opportunities to connect with recruiters, learn in-demand skills, and explore career opportunities.
America is stronger when we come together.
