Places like the Rosalynn Carter Center for Caregivers are national leaders in helping confront this disease which also affects over 100,000 Georgians and their families.
Many folks who use the program also come from rural communities. I oppose the President's budget proposal to eliminate this program entirely.
LIHEAP helps millions of Americans, including 140,000 Georgians so they can focus on working to support their families, taking care of their kids, and not worrying about their utilities being shut off.
Last month, I met with a constituent from Columbus who shared how the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program has helped her.
Just last week, I and 150 of my U.S. House colleagues demanded answers from Education Secretary McMahon and OMB Director Vought about when they will release Fiscal Year 2025 funds as they are already obligated to do, under law.

When the Administration illegally impounds federal funds that Congress approved and were signed into law by the president earlier this year, it leaves youth programs like the Boys & Girls Clubs facing uncertainty. I continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to rectify this problem.
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.
