3 health centers in Blakely, Macon & Columbus have been awarded $4.8 million in Health Center grants! I'll continue to be an advocate for GA health centers which are providing health care closer to home & improved quality of patient care & outcomes.

I'm happy to announce a $1 million Healthy Start program grant to Mercer University! Mercer's School of Medicine runs South Georgia Healthy Start which helps educate mothers and expecting families about maternal health, parenting, infant safety, and more.

It was wonderful meeting the @SBAgov Georgia Business Owner of the Year for 2024, Eric Williams, of United Defense and Prince Service & Manufacturing in Macon & Byron. It was great learning about his manufacturing businesses in Middle Georgia. I look forward to visiting soon!

I am happy to announce that three businesses in Unadilla and Lizella, GA, were awarded grants through the USDA's Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). These investments in our communities will help businesses save on costs and improve energy efficiency.

Yesterday, the Georgia Beverage Association updated me on their efforts to increase plastic bottle recycling and protect consumer beverage choices. We also talked about transportation issues and my work on the Farm Bill as a Member on the House Agriculture Committee.

Happy to meet with GA Ports Authority! The Port of Savannah is a gateway for GA's industries. I'm working in Congress to get it the resources needed to secure, develop & maintain it. This major hub connects our farmers, manufacturers & businesses to markets across the world!

It is often challenging for small, rural communities to maintain local healthcare facilities. I’m working hard to ensure that federal funds are available to support community health centers so that no matter your ZIP code, health care can be close to home.

Rep. Donald Payne, Jr., had the heart of a public servant & was a compassionate, affable soul who loved his family and community. My wife, Vivian, and I as well as the countless people whose lives he touched will miss him deeply and mourn his loss.
