Learn more about what my office has been up to this week Dear john, This week, my office made two exciting federal funding announcements. On Monday, I shared news that the state of Georgia will receive over $1.3 billion in federal broadband funding from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. Families rely on access to broadband for every part of their lives, and I am proud that our work on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is making such a difference across the state. On Tuesday, I was thrilled to announce that the Gwinnett County Department of Transportation will receive $20 million to support the replacement of the Gwinnett Place Transit Center. I advocated my support for this funding to Secretary Buttigieg earlier this year, and I am so pleased that the Administration recognizes the importance of this federal investment in the future of transit in our community. Congratulations, Gwinnett! Pictured above: Tweet from Rep. McBath linking to news report about RAISE award On Wednesday, my office attended a Gwinnett County Pride event. As we concluded the celebration of Pride 2023, I was proud to introduce a statement to the Congressional Record commemorating this year's celebration and honoring our community's many contributions to LGBTQ+ history in Georgia. Pictured above from left to right: Gwinnett County District 2 Commissioner Ben Ku, Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson, and District 3 Commissioner Jasper Watkins July 1st marks the first day that Medicare Part B recipients who depend on insulin will be protected by my $35 per month price cap. I fought hard for legislation to lower the cost of insulin for all Americans, and I am pleased that this benefit will now be extended to seniors receiving outpatient care under Medicare.
