(3/3) The Administration says they want to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse & reduce the deficit, but this budget does neither. It's a scheme that steals the federal resources needed to meet the needs of the American people in order to pay for tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit billionaires.
(2/3) Public schools across the country, rural & urban, will lose billions of dollars that help them afford teachers, textbooks, and supplies. Cuts to nutrition programs will see families, school children, seniors, disabled persons, and active-duty military families & veterans go hungry.
(1/3) Yesterday, I voted NO on H.Con.Res. 14. I have never seen a more partisan and fiscally irresponsible budget. This measure will result in millions of Americans losing their health insurance. bishop.house.gov/media-center...
I was grateful to hear from leaders of America’s Armed Services during the Military Construction-VA Appropriations Subcommittee hearing to discuss how we can improve the quality of life of American military families in the United States and around the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPnT...
Save the date for the 2025 Military Family Summit! Rep. Kiggans and I are excited to host this year’s Summit in Columbus, Georgia.
I am proud to join my colleagues in reintroducing the Ocmulgee Mounds National Park and Preserve Establishment Act. Elevating the status of and expanding this site to a national park and preserve will encourage more visitors to our area & boost the local economy.

I am fighting hard in Congress to make sure that we get a Farm Bill and protect the food and nutrition programs that gets abundant, safe, and affordable food from the farm to the dinner table.
I am on the road to Warner Robins for a town hall tonight hosted by the local AFGE.
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.
