the SAVE America Act is back before the House today, and right along with it is yet another attempt at voter suppression. It is no coincidence that this is happening right before the midterm elections. In January, the FBI raided the Fulton…
Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Ours is not the struggle of 1 day, 1 week, or 1 year . . . ours is the struggle of a lifetime. . . . When Congressman John Lewis spoke these words, he was reminding us that…
I rise today on behalf of Georgia's Fifth Congressional District to honor Mr. Robert ``Bob'' Willis on a very special 99th birthday. Mr. Willis has lived a life of service, and I am proud to help him celebrate his 99 years of life and more…
This administration is withholding funding left and right to anything that has to do with Black people, Indigenous people, Latino people.
Voter suppression by any other name is still voter suppression. This resolution violates the 14th Amendment, 19th Amendment, 24th Amendment, and every tenet of a free and inclusive democracy. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote…
One of the biggest challenges homebuyers in Atlanta face is having to compete with large institutional investors purchasing homes in bulk.
We need to get more support to them so that they can help people with disabilities, women, families with children, people of color, LGBTQ+, and others avoid discrimination.
That is why I have co-led the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act, bicameral legislation that would end hedge fund ownership of single-family homes over 10 years.
We don't have enough quality affordable housing for everyone, and that has generational effects way beyond ensuring that people have a place to lay their heads at night.

I support stronger capital requirements at our largest institutions, and I want the record to reflect that.
I introduced legislation that will help us achieve participation in SNAP, H.R. 253, the Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act.
I thank Congressman Bishop, dean of our Georgia delegation, for chairing today's Special Order hour remembering First Lady Rosalynn Carter, a truly remarkable public servant, a wife, a parent, a grandparent, a friend, a humanitarian, and…
I believe most, if not all, of the delegation, believe it is important that the Committee delivers a bipartisan farm bill that helps all urban and rural communities, no matter their [ZIP C]ode.
Affordable housing lays the foundation for financial stability, economic mobility, and wealth-building.
It is of the utmost importance that the next farm bill ensures the nearly $20 billion provided in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for USDA conservation programs is used for its intended purpose.
I have seen firsthand how important the United States Department of Agriculture's programs are for my constituents and stakeholders when it comes to farming and nutrition.
TEFAP is too important for this Committee to discredit, as the program is a key driver for not only supporting the U.S. agricultural economy, but a tool helping people facing food insecurity and hunger.
I was excited to reintroduce H.R. 5203, the AGRITOURISM Act, in partnership with my friend Dan Newhouse as well as Congressman Rouzer.
Puerto Rico has been excluded from SNAP since the 1980s, and NAP is one of the main programs that island residents turn to.
That is the reason I urge this Committee to take the opportunity in the farm bill to address this issue and support real nutrition assistance and security for Puerto Rico.
I was so incredibly excited that the CFPB announced a rulemaking process to remove medical debt from consumer credit reports.
