I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my dear friend Congressman David Scott. He was a devoted Georgian, a respected colleague, and a steadfast advocate for working Americans. Read my full statement here: https://bit.ly/4trOFKv
Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, their reckless actions are making everything more expensive for hardworking Americans. Families can't afford $4 gas — they need to put food on the table. When will Republicans start putting Americans first?
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of touring the Huckleberry House facility to see firsthand how this organization is aiding youth who are struggling with homelessness, family conflict, poverty, and violence. I am proud of the important work they're doing for our Columbus community.

ICYMI: I was honored to welcome the National Urban League for their 2026 Empowerment Day. Standing alongside President Morial and Leader Jeffries, we sent a clear message: our history cannot be erased, and our seat at the table will not be moved.
It’s Income Tax Day! 💰 Unfortunately, this administration isn’t interested in working for Americans—today or any other day. Trump promised an extra $1,000 in tax refunds, but families are receiving 65% less. With the cost of living surging, families are left footing the bill. It’s just plain wrong.

Financial tip of the day: No savings? No safety net. Work your way up to setting aside at least three months of expenses in case of an emergency or unanticipated event.💡
