Learn more about what my office has been up to this week Dear john, Thursday marked the beginning of Black History Month, a time to honor the powerful voices and stories that have shaped American and global history. This month and always, let us honor and celebrate those contributions together! This week, I joined with a bipartisan group of colleagues in introduction of the Victims' VOICES Act. The devastation and hardship in the aftermath of a crime can have ripple effects across a victim's entire support network. This legislation will ensure that a parent, guardian, or court appointed individual is guaranteed eligibility for restitution if they must assume the rights of the victims they are supporting. I am proud to champion this important legislation with my colleagues. For more information, click here. Wednesday marked 84 years since the first Social Security check was issued to a citizen, the start of a federal program allowing Americans to continue receiving income after retirement and supporting our seniors. Just recently, the New York Times featured the success story of Kree Flowers, a Norcross resident who enlisted my help when she faced a difficulty with the Social Security Administration that would have cost her over $17,000. I was proud to help Mrs. Flowers get the help she deserves, and my team and I are committed to assisting Americans access the benefits they have earned over the course of their lives. Thank you for taking the time to read this update. It is my honor to serve our community in Congress.
