The war in Afghanistan is America's longest war, and by its conclusion, two decades after it started, we were deploying men and women who were not even alive when the conflict started.

One of the key components of U.S. strategic failure in the war was an inability to develop reliable and preferable options for Afghans to build an economy that is not based on illicit drugs or minerals.

The number of unemployed Georgians is now what it was pre-pandemic. So that is good news, and it is indicative that the programs put in place, the CARES Act, actually worked.

Credit unions and community banks are vitally important in the State of Georgia, especially when it comes to servicing smaller towns, rural areas.

The latest unemployment data for Georgia shows an unemployment rate of 3.5 percent, which is lower than it was in March 2020, before the pandemic.

Great. I think this is often a missed opportunity, and so I am grateful for any efforts to lean in there.

If made permanent, this tax cut for families would push poverty in a typical year down below 10 percent in 47 States, including Georgia.

Confidence in the Central Bank is essential, and I look forward to working with you on this issue

I am a strong advocate for working and middle-class families and we successfully pushed to include an expansion of the vital Child Tax Credit program in the American Rescue Plan.

I want to remind all of us that the only reason we`re here in this chamber at all is because somebody voted for us. Voting rights is not just some other issue alongside other issues. It gets to the heart of who we are in the first place, a…

I’ve been very clear from day one that we must pass voting rights no matter what.

The bill provides a baseline for voting. So that you have access to that basic American right, no matter where you live.

Voting rights ought to be about partisan issue. There was a time it was passed on a bipartisan basis.

Our democracy is in a 911 emergency, and while there are a number of important items for us to address in this Congress, the most important thing we can do right now, is pass voting rights, to secure the future of our democracy.

Some people don`t want some people to vote. This is the delta variant of Jim Crow voting laws. And the only vaccination is federal legislation.

As families continue to receive the child tax credit, I think it is important for us to monitor these types of fraud reports.

The child tax credit not only helps give working families financial stability and peace of mind; it boosts the economy for all of us.

Georgia imposes a strict 10 percent usury limit on small-dollar loans. Almost 1 in 10 Georgians is a veteran.

Eradicating childhood poverty is an issue that touches me deeply. It emerges from my own experience and my own faith.

America needs to be made aware of the fraud--of this fraud, and Congress must work to carefully craft policies...

This hearing will now come to order.

Here we are in 2021, and they`re trying to nullify our votes after our votes are cast all across this country? We know what this is. This is the Delta variant of Jim Crow voting laws. And the only vaccination is federal legislation.

I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. We have to work on the physical infrastructure of our country. And we have to work on the infrastructure of our democracy. It is the responsibility of Congress to provide baseline federal…

Passing voting rights, in my view, is the most important thing we can do this Congress. Now, I know that there are a lot of pressing issues, but the American house is the house built by democracy. And if we don`t preserve our democracy…

I am proud to support legislation like the Relief for America's Small Farmers Act, which would boost all of our Nation's small farmers through debt relief and uplift their operations.
