I started the Fighting Fifth Small Business & Community Council to hear directly about the daily challenges faced by #smallbusiness owners and bring their concerns back to Washington. Thanks to @Intuit, a hub for innovation, for hosting our kick-off meeting. (2).

Small businesses make up 99.7% of Georgia’s businesses, with most calling the #FightingFifth home. They create jobs, drive innovation, and build community. (1)

I have joined the call to demand the immediate release of these frozen CDC funds by the OMB. (2).

The White House Office of Management and Budget has frozen millions in CDC grants—funds #Congress already approved. This freeze hurts the #FightingFifth and communities across the country that rely on these grants for jobs and telehealth, especially those in rural and

Oak Flat is under threat! Oak Flat is a sacred site to nine Indigenous tribes. #Trump wants to hand it over to a major foreign-owned mining company that would destroy it forever. Stand with our Indigenous nations and say NO to this environmental and human rights violation.

Atlanta Housing Authority serves 42,000 residents that call the #FightingFifth home. I am proud to be their co-conspirator for justice with them in the mission of affordable and desirable housing that gives working families and seniors the ability to live, work, and play right

Thank you to everyone in the #FightingFifth who came out to share their stories, voice their concerns, and ask their questions. Veterans, children, and seniors rely on #SocialSecurity, and Republicans are coming after the benefits our families have paid into and earned through a

Keeping the district work period rolling with a stop at Clayton State University in Morrow! I toured multiple programs across campus, where I spoke with professors about the unique hands-on experiences students are getting in the classroom. (1)

To continue my affordable housing stops during the district work period, I toured the City of Brookhaven’s new City Center and Buford Highway projects, made possible by federal funds from the bipartisan infrastructure law I helped pass. In the #FightingFifth, people deserve

Don’t let #Trump distract you. Republicans passed their “billionaire bailout” budget, ripping healthcare from 125,550 #FightingFifth seniors, kids & families. For what? Tax cuts for billionaires.

Affordable housing helps us close the racial wealth gap and is the foundation to stable communities. Continuing a busy District Work Period with a tour of @HousingAtlanta’s affordable developments. From senior supportive housing to #homeownership, everyone in the #FightingFifth
