Warnock is just one of the most distinct and remarkable individuals that will ever serve in the U.S. Senate.

Raphael Warnock is the first African-American senator ever elected in the state of Georgia.

As I often say, if people cannot get to where they are going, they cannot get to where they are going.

Congress, as you know, funded the Areas of Persistent Poverty Program in appropriations this year but has not permanently authorized the program for future years.

Safely and efficiently getting Georgians where they need to go is a priority of mine.

Every day thousands of Georgians rely on public transportation...

The former president`s continued claims of widespread voter fraud are just his way of saying that the votes of certain people don`t count, can`t count, can`t be real because the election outcome was not consistent with the mitt of white…

Capping Drug Costs for Seniors Act, which would cap out of pocket cost of $2,000 per year for people on Medicare--would have made all the difference for my husband and I.

There is long, longstanding and overwhelming bipartisan support among voters for allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices.

I introduced the Cap and Drug Cost for Seniors Act legislation to cap annual out-of-pocket costs for seniors at $2,000.

I am focused on fighting the good fight for her and for my mother and so many others.

We don't have time to wait. We can't wait.

We can't wait because we are in the midst of a longevity revolution.

In addition to the stresses of care, you had the stress of the cost of care?

So all of us have a stake in lowering the cost of prescription drugs?

I agree with that, which is why I am pushing to get us to be able to negotiate the costs or Medicare to be able to negotiate the cost of prescription drugs, as the VA currently does.

Now is the time to get it done.

No senior citizens should have to choose between buying groceries and taking necessary medication.

This issue is personal for me. This is about something much bigger than politics.
