Military spouses should not have to start their careers over every time their families receive orders to move. The Military Spouse Commission’s examination of ways to expand employment programs is a welcome opportunity to build on that work. Success should mean spouses finding jobs, keeping their careers on track, and strengthening their families’ financial security. https://t.co/H65ynQWGOL

I was proud to join GA Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Christopher Nunn and Deputy Commissioner Carter in Albany as they presented Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) awards to six Georgia municipalities, five of which are in Georgia’s Second Congressional District. CDBGs are distributed through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to states, like Georgia, which – in turn – award the funds for projects at the local level. The program is based on the principal that the people closest to the problem know best how to solve it. It works, because Congress continues to be a reliable partner, with Georgia, and these communities to invest in these projects that improve the quality of life for Georgians. Unfortunately, GOP leaders in the Administration and Congress have repeatedly proposed eliminating the program, but I have repeatedly fought against these efforts as a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee.

Last week, I joined Protect Our Care Georgia in Columbus to highlight how I am working in Congress to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for Georgians. This is a quality-of-life issue that impacts everyone, everywhere. Last year, the Trump Administration and Congressional GOP leaders gutted Medicare, Medicaid, and shutdown the government for 43 days to kill ACA tax credits for hardworking Americans. In the months that followed, more than 90,000 people in Georgia’s Second Congressional District have seen their healthcare costs skyrocket and over 40,000 had their healthcare coverage jeopardized. Hospitals and clinics have been forced to dial back services forcing people to travel farther to get the care they need.

In Congress, I am working hard to ensure our country’s armed forces are best prepared to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow by putting our servicemembers, DOD federal workers, and their families as well as the surrounding communities that support them at the heart of that effort. I am part of the U.S. Military Academy’s (West Point) Board of Visitors where I work with Congressional Democrats and Republicans on the Board, as well as other Board members, to oversee the state of morale and discipline, curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the Academy that the Board decides to consider. Last week, we met to discuss and work on this continuing mission. I also joined several of my colleagues in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate in sharing our thoughts in @WashTimes DefenseTech Special Section about how we can ensure the U.S. military continues to be the best in the world. https://t.co/ZKCGj7NYbs

From increasing fuel and food costs, to cuts to healthcare, it is becoming harder to raise a family in the past year. Unfortunately, the Trump Administration continues to undermine the well-being of mothers and children by targeting Head Start and Early Head Start programs to cut class sizes and leaving children without enough staff to care for them, eliminating development screenings and protections for children with disabilities, making it harder for foster children to participate, and other restrictions. Last Tuesday, I visited an Early Head Start provider here in Columbus. The program helps mothers, infants and children get ready for school and gives them a better shot at success. It does so through family educational, health, nutritional, social, and other services. I will continue working hard in Congress to invest in our community’s children and give them a better shot at leading healthy, productive lives.

Each year, I have the extraordinary privilege to nominate exceptional young men and women to our nation's service academies. The opportunity for a fully-funded education and the high honor of attending a service academy make these nominations extremely competitive. The deadline for applying this year is just a week away (Fri., Oct. 16, 2026).

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
