It was wonderful returning to Donalsonville this morning for the Chamber of Commerce’s annual Farmer Appreciation Luncheon. It was great to recognize Don Koehler for his years of service to Georgia’s peanut industry and meet with our FFA students!

I am working hard to push Congressional leaders for a Farm Bill that provides the federal programs America needs to continue to grow the highest quality, safest, most abundant, and affordable food, fiber, and materials in the world. #AgDay25
National Agriculture Day reminds us that – from the food on your table to the clothes you wear and the materials that build your homes and communities – agriculture affects everyone, every day.
Whether you like sweet potato pie, pecan pie, or all things math, enjoy your favorite slice (and support a Georgia farmer) today! #GeorgiaGrown www.usda.gov/about-usda/n...
Today is Pi Day – Math lovers and pie lovers unite! Pi is a never-ending number used by mathematicians and the first three digits (3.14) provide a wonderful excuse to eat delicious Georgia Grown crops.
(3/3) Canceling these programs is bad for students, hurts local farmers, and will make our food supply chains less resilient and more dependent on large suppliers. As food and production costs continue to rise, I urge the Trump administration to reverse course.
(2/3) These agreements were a win-win for school districts, emergency food providers, and ag producers, supporting local farmers and putting healthier foods in our school cafeterias.
(1/3) I was extremely disappointed to learn that USDA has canceled $1 billion in school nutrition and emergency food funding through the Local Food for Schools and the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Programs.
This week I met with YMCAs from SW GA! Access to affordable childcare is out of reach for too many working families. We discussed the importance of Congress funding the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), which provides our kids with afterschool programs while their parents are at work.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Rep. Sylvester Turner of TX. Elected to Congress last Nov., he dutifully served Houston for over 36 years, serving as a legislator & Mayor of America’s 4th largest city. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family & all those who mourn his loss.
March is #NationalKidneyMonth! Kidney disease is often called a silent disease because there are few symptoms in early stages, making testing essential for early diagnosis. I’m working to break down barriers to medical care for kidney patients and focus on disease prevention and early detection.
This week, I met with EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases to discuss how the recent pause in federal funding is endangering research into these diseases, and how Congress can support the public health agencies that treat them.
(1/2) Nearly 30 million Americans and their families are impacted by rare diseases - a group of over 10,000 conditions defined as affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States.
Agriculture is Georgia’s #1 industry. This week, I met with the Agricultural Retailers Association to discuss how best to supply and support our farmers as we look towards passage of a new Farm Bill.
(2/2) I joined several dozen members of Congress in sending a letter to the President expressing our concern about how these actions are harming America’s cattlemen and poultry farmers, jeopardizing public health, and putting food costs at greater risk for families across the country.
(1/2) The administration fired researchers fighting avian flu (its latest strain variant now also found in cattle) and has prevented agencies from speaking to Congress and the public, preventing the flow of information which is crucial to helping contain the threat.
I was delighted to meet w/ Big Brothers Big Sisters of GA. Federal mentorship programs are crucial community tools that help provide children of all backgrounds w/ adult role models, which can improve academic performance, improve self-esteem & social skills, and set kids on a path to success.
(2/2) The move to suspend the 1890s Scholarship Program was out of step with public support for the program and bipartisan support in Congress. The program’s reinstatement restores our ability to get the next generation’s best and brightest from every community to help our country thrive.
(1/2) The 1890 National Scholars Program makes higher ed accessible for everybody. Scholars get real-world work experience at USDA while completing their studies, helping improve our agriculture industry.

(5/5) Furthermore, this puts America’s national security in jeopardy, risks politicizing our military which has always been, and should always be, non-political, and places cronyism above merit, experience, and integrity.
