Dear john,   As I look back on another year in service to Georgia, I am so grateful for the opportunity to work on your behalf. This was, without a doubt, a very difficult year. Between the attacks on federal government programs and civil …

A violent weekend – and what we can do about it

John, We witnessed an incredibly violent weekend. First, there was a shooting at Brown University where a gunman killed two students, and injured nine others. The search for the shooter is now entering the third day. There have been at least 75 school shootings this year alone. Then l…

The government shutdown is over. I am still fighting for affordable health care.

Dear john,   On Wednesday night, the House held a late night vote on a funding bill, and the federal government is open once again following the longest shutdown in history. My Democratic colleagues and I are united in our pursuit of exten…

Breaking news regarding food assistance and more from my office

Dear john,   This week, the federal government shutdown passed the record for the longest shutdown in history. Now in its 38th day, I continue to call for the same thing I have demanded since the very start of this shutdown: House Speaker …

Tuesday was huge for us

MAJOR wins from Tuesday, John. Democrats flipped 2 seats on the Public Services Commission here in Georgia – which marks the first time Democrats have won a statewide, constitutional office since 2006. Big things are happening. Voters are motivated and fired up to vote against the stat…

Resources for the SNAP freeze

John, We received news a few weeks ago that the Department of Agriculture would freeze payments for SNAP programs because the funding had run out – due to Trump’s shutdown. This would leave millions of hungry families without food, in the month of Thanksgiving. 1 in 8 people in this c…

Essential programs are on the line—again.

Dear john,   The federal government has been shut down for a full month now, and essential workers are once again missing their paychecks. More painful deadlines are coming up. November 1st is the first day of Open Enrollment for the Affor…

I'm headed back to Washington next week to demand an end to this shutdown

Dear john,   Today is day 24 of the Republican government shutdown, and more people are feeling the impact every single day. Federal workers—who are working without pay—are feeling the strain, most evident for travelers in and out of our a…

My Republican colleagues must negotiate a compromise to end this shutdown

Dear john,   We are reaching the end of week three of the Republican government shutdown, and there is more information to share about this manufactured health care crisis that will happen if my colleagues across the aisle fail to act. Tak…

This is about your health care—do you have a story to share?

Dear john,   As we mark the second week of the Republican government shutdown, I'm hearing more and more from our neighbors in Georgia about what it means for them. I am committed to standing up for your health care and that of millions of…

I'm fighting for you—find out how my office is serving you during a government shutdown.

Dear john,   As of midnight, the federal government is shut down after House Republicans failed to pass a bipartisan funding bill. I have been in D.C. ready to continue my work to secure funding that doesn't cut health care coverage and ra…

This is your sign

Hey John, I’m sure you’re getting inundated right now with lots of candidate messages – but I want to thank you for choosing to invest your hard-earned money in me before. I know that this movement that we’re building together can sometimes feel stagnant, or stuck. Other times, it feel…

It’s my favorite time of year

It’s my favorite time of year, John: End of Quarter. I’m kidding, but you know that I’m sitting anxiously by my computer, watching ActBlue. But we’re seeing a little bit of dropoff from where we should be at this point. We need to make a big splash this End of Quarter. No seat is safe…

Democrats are getting things done

It happened, John. Thanks to Lucy and Congressional Democrats’ work, the Epstein files were FINALLY released – despite Republicans attempts to obstruct them. This proves that when Democrats fight, we get things done. Democrats like Lucy are on the frontlines fighting for you, and holdi…

whiplash

I feel like I say this every month but it has been a LONG month. Rhetoric has been absolutely out of control. MAGA is using the government to go after their adversaries. And, we’re on the brink of a shutdown. It feels like whiplash. I know you’re exhausted, because I’m also feeling exh…

Working families can't afford a Republican shutdown. I will not stop working for you.

Dear john,   I remain focused on the impact that a government shutdown would have on the country, and our district in particular. With less than a week before the funding deadline, Congressional Republicans cancelled votes and sent members…
