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.
(4/5) This signals weakness to our adversaries and sends a chilling message to those serving in our military and will hamper our ability to recruit and retain the best and the brightest to defend our nation.
(3/5) ...and the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy, and Air Force, strips our country of its top warfighters and leaders at a time when the world threat environment is at a fever pitch.
(2/5) His unjustified termination as Joint Chief along with those of Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff, General James Slife...
(1/5) General C.Q. Brown has had a distinguished career as a warfighter. His professionalism is respected and admired by military servicemembers as well as Congress, and he was lauded by President Trump himself.
