Friend,
It’s hard to believe it’s already March! After I was sworn in as the representative for Georgia’s 7th Congressional District back in January, I hit the ground running and have been hard at work to deliver on the issues that matter to hard-working families here in Georgia and across the country.
Over the last few months, I have been proud to help pass:
✔️ THE FOR THE PEOPLE ACT
Since record voter turnout in November, Republicans across the country have unleashed a wave of voter suppression laws. That’s why I was proud to vote to pass the For the People Act -- sweeping legislation that will root out corruption and protect the right to vote.
✔️ THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT
Last spring and summer, the diverse community of GA-07 joined in solidarity with people across the country to demand change. I was proud to vote for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act as a first step in addressing systemic racism and injustice. In passing this critical legislation, we took a step in delivering on this important issue.
✔️ THE EQUALITY ACT
In most states, a person can still be denied housing, education, or the chance to serve on a jury because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It is past time to end discrimination against LGBTQ+ Americans -- which is why I was glad to cast a strong YES vote to pass the Equality Act.
✔️ THE BIPARTISAN BACKGROUND CHECKS ACT OF 2021
During my campaign, I was proud to be a gun-sense candidate. This month, the House took a monumental step towards curbing gun violence across the country by passing universal background checks. I voted for this bill because it will save lives and close dangerous loopholes in our existing laws.
✔️ THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN
This desperately needed legislation was our first step towards building back better. In addition to more than $5 billion in state relief and $3.5 billion in local relief, the ARP provides additional direct payments of $1,400 to 88% of Georgians. The ARP also expands the child tax credit, which will impact the families of over 2 million Georgia kids and lift 171,000 out of poverty.
Friend, I am deeply proud of all we’ve accomplished thus far, and I am fired up and ready to continue putting in the work for Georgia’s 7th. All of this has been possible because voters like you showed up and delivered a Biden White House and a Democratic Congress -- thank you!
But while I and my Democratic colleagues have been delivering on the issues that really matter, National Republicans have already made me one of their top targets. I am so grateful that you’ve been by my side in this journey, and I hope you’ll consider continuing your support by making a contribution towards my re-election campaign so I can continue this important work.
