The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Ag, Rural Development & FDA advanced its FY2026 funding bill. As the Democratic leader on the subcommittee, I had to point out that this bill cut $100 million meant to help prevent women & children from going hungry.

(2/2)...well with our towns and counties, and that federal programs have the resources needed to be reliable partners for Middle and Southwest Georgia communities.
(1/2) I recently met with Grady County, GA Commissioner Sam Kines in DC. I am working hard in Congress to help make sure that federal departments and agencies are user-friendly, they collaborate...
Community Development Financial Institutions leverage federal support to generate private investment in small businesses that may be deemed too small and overlooked by commercial lenders. CDFIs are part of the pulse of the communities they support & Congress should continue to support them.
(3/3) For over 60 years, there has been strong bipartisan support for JC. It has paid tremendous dividends in terms of ensuring that young people become valuable members of the labor force. I will work with my Republican colleagues to protect and improve Job Corps to ensure its continued success.
(2/3) Today’s foolish action by the White House and the United States Department of Labor to close the Job Corps program will shatter the dreams and aspirations of tens of thousands of promising students.
(1/3) The Job Corps program is the embodiment of a hand up and not a handout. It provides workforce skills and training that empower participants to become self-sufficient and productive citizens. bishop.house.gov/media-center...
Former Congressman Charles B. Rangel was a patriot, true friend, and compassionate soul. My wife, Vivian, and I send our deepest condolences his family, friends and all who mourn his loss.

This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. We will forever remember their bravery and service to the United States as we recommit ourselves to the values and freedoms for which they fought and died.

(2/3) While the Admin has started to address some of the concerns raised, I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to make sure Thomas County residents have access to clean, safe, affordable water as well as support institutions that are part of the fabric and history of our community.
(1/3) This month, I reached out to the White House, Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Environmental Protection Agency to urge them to release funds that were already lawfully obligated to the City of Thomasville and the Jack Hadley Black History Museum.
Today, Virginia and our country lost a passionate public servant. Congressman Gerry Connolly’s distinctive voice loudly resonated on Capitol Hill in defense of our democracy and in support of America’s families. My colleagues and I will miss him and our prayers go to his family and loved ones.
The charges against Congresswoman McIver are unwarranted and amount to a blatant attempt by the Executive Branch to discourage members of Congress from demanding transparency and accountability from the Trump Administration. Members of Congress will not be intimidated. (2/2)
I stand with Congresswoman LaMonica McIver and all members of Congress in their efforts to conduct lawful Congressional oversight responsibilities without having to face retaliatory criminal prosecution. (1/2)
We all know someone who has battled cancer or family and friends who have had to cope with it. My wife, Vivian, and I are praying for President Biden, his wife, and his family in the wake of his prostate cancer diagnosis.
