Investing in our children is crucial for creating a better tomorrow for Georgia families. Recently, I met with Great Kids, Inc., to talk about early childhood development, home visiting, and health care programs that help give our kids the foundation they need to succeed.
(3/3) Blindly and broadly terminating civil servants is not thoughtful or surgical and likely to undermine any effort to make the VA more efficient or improve the quality of care for those who served our country.
(2/3) This is a 1-2 gut punch to the veteran and military family community with complete disregard to “first do no harm.” Today, I joined many of my Congressional colleagues demanding answers.
(1/3) It defies logic to terminate over 1,000 dedicated civil servants yesterday – many veterans, military spouses, and important practitioners like researchers and caregivers – without justification and jeopardizing the quality of care that our veterans receive.
The forestry industry contributes $42 billion to Georgia's economy and employs over 140k people. Today, I met with the Forest Landowners Association to discuss the need to maintain disaster recovery tools, as well as the harm tariffs can have on private landowners.
(3/3) We must close the gap to ensure that everyone can take full advantage of the digital resources out there and participate in the increasingly digital world in which we live and work.
(2/3) The bipartisan legislation would allow rural households to claim a $300 tax credit for the purchase of a home Wi-Fi signal booster or mobile hotspot to access the internet.
(1/3) I joined Congressman John Moolenaar (MI-02) in introducing H.R. 1020, the Broadening Online Opportunities Through Simple Technologies (BOOST) Act. bishop.house.gov/media-center...
(4/4) She comes to Congress having served in our country’s armed forces and knows, from personal experience, the challenges that our military families face. I look forward to working with her in the months ahead.
(3/4) Taking care of military families is a matter of national security and the future of our armed forces. I am happy to welcome our new Co-Chair, Congresswoman Kiggans of Virginia.
(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.
(6/6) Following the Civil Rights Movement, Mrs. Quarterman, now dubbed “Albany’s Rosa Parks,” lived a relatively quiet life until her passing in 2007 at the age of 64. #BHM2025
(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.
(4/6) In January of 1962, she was asked to move to the back of a city bus at the request of the bus driver and refused saying, “I paid my d**n ten cents, and I'll sit where I please.”
(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.
