2025 was a year of new challenges and hard-fought victories. Working together, we secured new investments in our district, commemorated the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, and stood up for families, farmers, veterans, seniors, and small businesses.
We pushed back against cuts to health care and food assistance, fought to lower costs and rein in President Trump’s harmful tariffs, and defended our civil rights history against new attacks. Through it all, I was proud to stand side-by-side with Alabama’s working families and be your voice in Congress.
Despite the dysfunction in Washington, my team and I remained laser-focused on delivering for you. Once again, I traveled to every county in Alabama’s 7th District, hosting 98 events including community conversations, tours, roundtables, and our 14th annual job fair. My office secured $398 million in federal grants for our district including $25 million to improve public transit in Jefferson County, $5.8 million for disaster relief in the Black Belt, and $3.2 million in the FY26 federal budget for four local projects.
We replied to more than 30,000 constituent letters and emails, completed 525 casework files, and returned more than $1.7 million in benefits owed to our constituents by the federal government.
