From the beginning of this process, I urged my colleagues to pass a targeted reconciliation bill that would expand access to health care, address climate change, bring down the deficit, and put our fiscal house in order. The reconciliation bill hits the mark on these priorities.

Today we voted on bills to rename two Georgia VA facilities after local titans Max Cleland and Sen. Johnny Isakson. Happy to recognize both of their accomplishments for our nation’s veterans.

I was grateful to join KAPAC for their Korea Peace Conference, where I spoke about the importance of a peaceful resolution to the Korean conflict. Ending the turmoil facing our Korean allies and domestic diaspora is a critical step in making our world a safer place.

The median home price in Gwinnett has increased 91% in just 5 years. Today I convened local leaders to discuss how we can ensure teachers, police officers & young families can find affordable homes in the communities they love & serve. Together we can make homeownership possible.

This is such a tragedy. No parent should have to endure this kind of grief. We are holding DeAndre Henderson's family in our hearts. We support our school district & local law enforcement. We must persist in the fight to address gun violence.
