I am committed to truly protecting the rights of workers throughout this country, while also being mindful of the effect of these laws on small businesses.

I do, however, have concerns with actions taken by this administration, and the adverse effects that they could leave on employees and small business owners.

I am truly deeply concerned about the success of businesses in my district.

So how do you respond to the concern from merchants who have been abruptly suspended by Amazon who they say have no way of ever reaching an Amazon employee to make their case.

Under the leadership of Governor Nathan Deal, a Republican, Georgia has enacted bipartisan reforms that are reducing recidivism.

the Do No Harm Act would restore RFRA to that original intent, leave the balancing test in place

I am a devoted Christian and I live very hard to walk out my faith every single day.

Frankly, for many of these veterans, they don't have a whole lot of money to start with.
