Raphael Warnock
The Public Record
Raphael Gamaliel Warnock is an American pastor and politician currently serving as the junior United States senator from Georgia since January 20, 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, Warnock is the first African American to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate.

Warnock's legislative focus includes issues such as voting rights, healthcare, and economic justice.
I am a big proponent of tax cuts for hard-working, ordinary families who really could use it.
So do you think that offering tax cuts to rent-burdened families... would help bridge the gap?
We need to provide solutions now, given the housing supply issue for Georgians who are feeling squeezed by the rent.
I come to the floor today to honor a friend, our late Senator from Georgia, my predecessor, Senator Johnny Isakson, as we work across the aisle, just as he did, to rename the Department of Veterans Affairs Atlanta Regional Office in his…
Raphael Warnock is the first African-American senator ever elected in the state of Georgia.
as it turns out, I rise to echo the sentiments of my colleague, the distinguished Senator from the State of Illinois. The Senate is prepared to finally begin debating a targeted version of the jobs and competition bill that many of us have…
Warnock is just one of the most distinct and remarkable individuals that will ever serve in the U.S. Senate.
Safely and efficiently getting Georgians where they need to go is a priority of mine.
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.
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…
This issue is personal for me. This is about something much bigger than politics.
This is why Senator Warnock's Capping Drug Costs For Seniors Act is so critical.
I am also championing the Affordable Insulin Now Act that would cap the cost of insulin for seniors on Medicare.
No senior citizens should have to choose between buying groceries and taking necessary medication.
It is absolutely critical that Medicare be able to negotiate for drug prices.
What kind of capitalism is that, where you don't get to negotiate the price of something you are buying?
Americans are sick and tired of paying these high, exorbitant drug prices, and as the country continues to recover from the economic and health crisis brought upon by the pandemic, American families can no longer afford to wait.
I support allowing Medicare to negotiate and bring down the cost of prescription drugs.
No one should be forced to choose between affording their medication and putting food on the table, but these decisions are all too real for Georgia seniors.
