I have been in contact with FEMA and other federal agencies and our state leadership as we navigate the serious wildfires hitting our state. A state of emergency and a burn ban has been declared for 91 counties and all relevant state agencies are assisting in the response. Please adhere to their guidance and support our fire fighters and forestry crews putting their lives on the line to protect our communities. https://t.co/UM42NdtvUc
The passing of Chairman David Scott is sad for all of the state of Georgia. I was proud to have served with him on the House Agriculture Committee and proud of the many years we shared together in the House. He will be remembered for his tireless service to our state and for his leadership in Washington, D.C. Go rest high on that mountain, Chairman Scott.
The A-10 Warthog has served faithfully for 50 years, and will do so until at least 2030. I am proud to have led an amendment halting plans to retire the entire A-10 fleet this year & am glad to see this extension. Our A-10s will continue providing support for our warriors.
Scott, Austin (R)
