Dear Georgian,

Many of you have contacted my office regarding the most recent indictment of President Donald Trump. The double standard baffles me, and I am monitoring the situation as yet another politically-motivated attack is made on our former President.

As always, my staff and I are here to help. If you need assistance with a federal agency or have comments or concerns to share with me, please do not hesitate to call my Warner Robins, Tifton, or Washington, D.C. offices. To receive frequent updates, I encourage you to visit my website, like my Facebook page, follow me on YouTube, and follow me on Twitter.

Keep reading for the full update.

Sincerely,

Congressman Austin Scott

Opposing Biden's Anti-Gun Agenda

Last week, news broke that the Biden Administration is intentionally misinterpreting legislation to push their anti-gun agenda by withhold funding from schools that offer hunting and archery programs.

Educational hunting and archery programs allow children to learn useful life skills that promote self-responsibility and provide a needed outlet for our youth. Biden's Department of Education is choosing to bring partisan politics into our schools by eliminating these historically bipartisan-supported programs without strong reasoning.

This is a direct attack on rural America and the Second Amendment. I joined colleagues in sending a letter to the Secretary of Education expressing concerns regarding eliminating these programs and provided data to show their effectiveness and importance.
