Dear John,

I want to share my story with you. It’s what motivates me to serve Georgia in the U.S. House. If you’re able, please consider chipping in whatever you can to help me continue that work.

I grew up as the son of two educators in Mobile, Alabama. My father was the first president of Bishop State Community College, and my mother was a librarian. They instilled in me from a young age the value of service.

After going to college and earning my law degree, I served my country in the United States Army right here at Ft. Benning military base. 

Then I ran for the Georgia House of Representatives, so I could serve my community further. And I won. I won again when I ran for Georgia Senate, and once again when I ran for U.S. Representative of Georgia’s 2nd Congressional District.

Throughout my life, serving my country has been my life’s mission. I believe God has ordered the steps of my life and blessed me with strong tools and talents to use the legislative process as a ministry of public service to improve the lives of our people and our communities. I have seen firsthand the progress we’ve made, but our work is far from finished.

My goal throughout my service in public office has been to create a better quality of life for all citizens by promoting a stronger, more diversified economy, better education, safe and secure communities, a healthy environment, affordable and accessible health care, and a strong national defense — all within the context of a balanced budget.

And that’s why, during my time in office, I’ve been a strong supporter of legislation like the John Lewis R. Voting Rights Act, Lowering Food and Fuel Costs Act, and now the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

John, please consider making a contribution to protect my seat in the U.S. House so I can continue making progress for our communities across Middle and Southwest Georgia.

Thank you,
Congressman Sanford D. Bishop
