In meeting with constituents, I've heard that many federal govt facilities have fallen into disrepair, threatening essential govt services, especially in rural areas. Additionally, federal workers are being asked to return to the office, but they often do not have office space to do their jobs.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govApr 14(source)

From protecting the pecan research at USDA Fruit and Tree Nut Lab in Byron, GA, to supporting the pecan growers, I will always be an advocate in Congress for Georgia pecans.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govApr 14(source)

April 14th is #NationalPecanDay! Whether they're roasted, baked into a pie or cookie, or mixed into an ice cream treat, Georgia's pecans are nutritious & delicious.

(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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govApr 11(source)

(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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govApr 11(source)

(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...

CONGRESSMAN BISHOP OPPOSES BUDGET RESOLUTION THAT GUTS HEALTHCARE, NUTRITION, AND EDUCATION – HURTING FAMILIES, SENIORS, AND VETERANS

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02), voted against H. Con. Res. 14, a partisan budget resolution that would result in cuts to Medicaid, student loans, and nutrition assistan...

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govApr 10(source)

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...

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 27(source)

Save the date for the 2025 Military Family Summit! Rep. Kiggans and I are excited to host this year’s Summit in Columbus, Georgia.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 26(source)

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. bishop.house.gov/media-center...

REPS. SANFORD BISHOP, AUSTIN SCOTT, SENATORS JON OSSOFF, AND REV. WARNOCK REINTRODUCE BIPARTISAN, BICAMERAL BILL TO ESTABLISH OCMULGEE MOUNDS AS GEORGIA’S FIRST NATIONAL PARK & PRESERVE

WASHINGTON – U.S. Representatives Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) and Austin Scott (GA-08), alongside U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock, reintroduced the bipartisan Ocmulgee Mounds ...

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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 20(source)

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!

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 18(source)

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

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 18(source)

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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 14(source)

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...

The Southern Region Grows a Delicious Slice of the Nation’s Agricultural Pie

The Southern NASS region, covering AL, FL, GA, and SC, has 144,000 farms, shaping its agriculture, hospitality, and comfort food culture.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 14(source)

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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 11(source)

(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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 11(source)

(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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 11(source)

(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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 5(source)

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.

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.@bishop.house.govMar 5(source)

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.
