A lot has happened this week. Here are some thoughts on the news and updates about what I’ve been up to. Anti-Semitism Bill FINALLY Passes
Huge majorities in the Georgia House and Senate passed a bill to condemn anti-Semitism and classify it as a hate crime in our state. Unfortunately, there were still several “no” votes. They should be ashamed of themselves. Georgia stands against anti-Semitism, and we stand with Israel. The Mess At The Border As a former military officer, I find the massive uptick in military-aged males illegally crossing our southern border deeply disturbing. It’s an economic and national security risk.
But the Biden administration seems more concerned with cutting down the razor wire Texas put up than doing something about it — and Georgia’s U.S. Senators aren’t saying anything at all.
I shared some more thoughts about this on Twitter. Read them here.
Seriously? |
Over the last few years, Washington Democrats have tried to regulate or ban things from gas stoves and dishwashers to menthol cigarettes. This week, Chuck Schumer made Zyn pouches his next target.
My response: Seriously? I prefer personal freedom, and I also wish these politicians would put some effort into stopping the fentanyl that’s poisoning our communities. Hearing From Georgians |
This week, I met with groups of Georgians from across our state. I heard from young people with Jackson County Youth Leadership, as well as students on Student Ambassadors Day. And I shared my focus on putting Georgia consumers and families first with the Conservative Policy Leadership Institute.
I also shared some words at an event celebrating state Rep. Pedro Marin’s service to our state, and wishing him well in retirement. We’re from different parties, but we share a commitment to Georgia’s Latino community, and every community, in our state. Thank you for your continued support! |
