This past April recorded an unemployment rate over 12.5% – higher than the peak during the recession. This cannot continue. Last month, I helped pass the Moving Forward Act, a vital bill that will renew our infrastructure and create over 2 million jobs.

| Dear John, |
| When I was first elected to Congress, Georgia’s unemployment rate was almost 7%. I knew that needed to change. Through years of hard work, I helped reduce Georgia’s unemployment to 3.4%. |
| Then the Great Recession hit hard, and unemployment soared once more. And once more, I worked in Appropriations committees and collaborated across the aisle to bring the figure from over 10% down to, as of last December, 3%. |
| The COVID-19 pandemic has hurt the people of Georgia in many ways, particularly in employment. This past April recorded an unemployment rate over 12.5% – higher than the peak during the recession. |
| This cannot continue. |
| Last month, I helped pass the Moving Forward Act, a vital bill that will renew our infrastructure and create over 2 million jobs across the transportation, construction, education, and energy sectors. Every day, I continue to fight for job creation, small business, and the fundamentally American opportunity to work hard and earn a living. |
| I have successfully reduced unemployment before, and I will do it again. As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, I possess the expertise to recognize problems, identify solutions, and work across the aisle to make measurable changes for the working families of America. |
| John, if you would like me to continue this work in Congress, I need to ask you to donate to my reelection campaign. I need your support more than ever, and every dollar counts. |
|
|
| Serving the working families of my community has been my life’s privilege. I would be honored to continue this work for you. |
| Thank you for your support. I am counting on you. |
|
Sincerely, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. |
