(2/4) Our military is only as strong as our servicemembers and so much of their strength comes from their families. The Congressional Military Family Caucus is here to make sure Congress does its best for our military families because the quality of life they have affects recruitment and retention.
(1/4) In January, Congresswoman Jen A. Kiggans (VA-02) and I re-registered the Congressional Military Family Caucus for the 119th Congress. We will both serve as the caucus’s bipartisan Democratic and Republican co-chairs, respectively.
I met with Albany Area Primary Health Care, Inc. this week. Community health care centers provide affordable, accessible services, especially in rural America and reduce strain on hospitals & emergency rooms. Congress must fight against funding chaos that jeopardizes healthcare for Georgians.
I was proud to join the National Federation of the Blind yesterday and will fight to protect the Americans with Disabilities Act and programs that support blind Americans and prevent discrimination. With proper training and opportunities, the visually impaired can lead active and productive lives.
(5/6) She was subsequently arrested and spent 30 days in jail. Upon her release, she was expelled from Albany State and lost nearly everything she had. She immersed herself further into the Civil Rights Movement by organizing boycotts against the city’s transit system.
(3/6) One of those unsung heroes was Mrs. Ola Mae Quarterman-Clemons. Ola Mae was born in 1944 in Worth County, Georgia. A product of the Dougherty County School System, she graduated from Monroe High School and went on to attend Albany State College (now University).
(2/6) This #BlackHistoryMonth, let us continue her fight for equity and justice, remember her legacy of nonviolent protest, and honor the legacies of those often-unsung heroes who helped to pave the way for a brighter day in the United States of America.
I was heartbroken to hear of the tragic accident that occurred last night near Washington, DC National Airport. As we continue to learn more information, my deepest sympathies and prayers are with the families and loved ones of those who tragically lost their lives.
GA grows half of America’s peanuts & I’m proud to lead the bipartisan Congressional Peanut Caucus in the 119th Congress w/ Rep. Barry Moore of AL! The caucus will make sure that peanut production, management, & marketing are considered as we craft the next Farm Bill. bishop.house.gov/media-center...
