Yesterday, January 22nd, marked the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Court’s horrendous Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion — the murder of unborn babies — in all 50 states.

Over 60 million innocent lives have been terminated under this unconstitutional ruling.

Thankfully, the victorious Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision dismantled Roe — saving countless lives. Yet we cannot forget the millions of lives lost to the evils of abortion.

Last year, I introduced a resolution to recognize January 22nd, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, as the Day of Tears to memorialize the unborn victims of abortion. Each and every life is precious, worth saving, and made in the perfect image of God. Therefore, we must honor and mourn the loss of these unborn children.

Please know that I remain a champion of life in Congress. In fact, due to my voting record and legislative efforts, I earned an A+ rating on the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s 2023 Scorecard! I’m honored to receive this recognition, and I remain resolute in the fight to protect the precious unborn.

After all, our first and most fundamental right is the right to LIFE.

Last week, lawmakers passed a short-term spending bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), to avert a government shutdown and extend current government funding to early March. The Swamp’s CR, which passed the House with more Democrat votes than Republican votes, simply funds Joe Biden’s policies at Nancy Pelosi’s spending levels to buy Speaker Johnson and Senate Leader Schumer time to write more government funding bills that spend more money. Outrageous!

Unfortunately, House Republican leadership abandoned critical leverage in the latest funding fight. By attaching H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, to the CR, House Republicans could have forced the Senate and White House to choose between shutting down the government or shutting down the border. Yet instead, Republican leaders dismissed this solution and locked arms with Democrats to pass a stop-gap measure with zero border security. Please know that I voted against the CR, as I refuse to support a spending measure that merely kicks the can of government funding down the road, promotes harmful policies, advances out-of-control spending levels, and fails to secure the southern border.

As you well know, Fulton County District Attorney (DA) Fani Willis is under fire over serious allegations of misconduct. For starters, Willis allegedly hired a romantic partner, Nathan Wade, as a special prosecutor in Fulton County’s case against President Trump. According to a court motion filed earlier this month by Mike Roman, a co-defendant in the case, Wade and Willis financially benefited from the arrangement, including paying for trips across the country. While these allegations certainly raise ethical concerns, I’m far more troubled by the potential misuse of taxpayer dollars.

In Fiscal Year 2022 alone, the Fulton County District Attorney’s office received over $3,875,000 in federal funds from the Department of Justice, appropriated by Congress. On numerous occasions, Nathan Wade was reimbursed at taxpayer expense for alarming services — including meetings with the White House and 24 hours of billable work in a single day. Folks, these invoices are incredibly troubling. If these allegations are true, Nathan Wade is likely in violation of Georgia’s fraudulent documents and false statements statute, and both Willis and Wade potentially violated Georgia’s Rule of Professional Conduct as attorneys.

Bottom line, Fani Willis’ alleged misconduct, corruption, and abuse of federal funds should concern every Georgian — and American. Given this case directly involves the leading Republican presidential candidate, President Donald Trump, it is imperative that we have answers and accountability in a timely fashion. Therefore, I led nearly 30 of my House Republican colleagues in urging Georgia’s Attorney General, Chris Carr, and Governor Brian Kemp to swiftly and thoroughly investigate these alarming allegations. Please know that as a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I will continue calling for oversight of and accountability for Fani Willis’ alleged abuse of your tax dollars in her political witch-hunt against President Trump.
