This week, Congress was out of session for a District Work Period. If you observed Yom Kippur, I pray that you had a meaningful and easy fast. Here are a few updates from my office for the week:

Celebrating Public Service in GA06

This week, I was proud to uplift the success of one of GA06's own, Anita Patel. Anita is a recipient of the 2022 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal. Known as the Oscars of government service, the "Sammies" are the premier awards and recognition program for federal employees. I am so proud that this district is home to such bright and talented people like Anita who are making exceptional contributions to our government and to our nation. Congratulations, Anita!

Celebrating Our Schoolteachers 

This week, we recognized World Teachers' Day. It is an important reminder to celebrate our teachers who dedicate themselves to caring for and uplifting our youth year-round. Thank you, teachers, for continuing to guide, enrich, and inspire all those who learn from you!
