Great News for Moody AFB

The Air Force recently announced that Moody is one of the first five installations selected to be a candidate location for building a Deployable Combat Wing Unit Type Code (DCW UTC).

This is a significant achievement and a testament to the world-class airmen and leadership at Moody AFB.

The DCW is a cohesive mission-focused unit of action formed at a single installation that teams, trains, and fights together. This process will bring more airmen and families to Moody, which is wonderful for our community.

I am proud to represent Moody AFB and will continue to advocate for our airmen and their families!

Moving Forward with the Reconciliation Process

Last week, the House adopted the budget resolution from the Senate, which contains budgetary instructions for our committees to produce legislation with historic savings and protection of essential programs.

I voted in support of this legislation, which includes several priorities shared by the House, Senate, and White House. This legislation is just the start of the reconciliation process and serves as a framework for House Committees to identify better investments and more savings within their jurisdictions.

This legislation will extend and expand President Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), saving the average family and taxpayer thousands of dollars each year through things like expanded child tax credits and lower tax brackets.

As we move forward with this process, the House will ensure that this legislation will also contain resources to protect our southern border, significant investments into our nation's military, restoration of our energy dominance, and more.

Two U.S.-based companies that manufacture the nutrient-dense paste, MANA Nutrition and Edesia Nutrition, and a non-profit supporting them, the Eleanor Crook Foundation, are imploring both House lawmakers and the Trump administration to reinstate funding for ready-to-use therapeutic food, or RUTF, as the Department of Government Efficiency reviews their contracts to produce and send food to foreign countries for children at risk of starvation...

Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA) called MANA an 'incredible mission-driven organization that saves lives across the globe.'

'I can attest to their significant community impact in Georgia’s 8th Congressional District and their commitment to ending child malnutrition,' Scott said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. 'The administration is working to ensure that all U.S. foreign assistance aligns with our national security interests and global mission.'"
