Unfortunately, this is not the first time this Administration acted haphazardly in its continued disregard of Congress to break the partnerships we have built with communities across the country that empower hard-working Americans to improve their quality of life.
While I am glad that Secretary Kennedy heard the outrage of elected officials, community leaders, accountability courts, law enforcement, patient advocates, & families across our country who are coping with the challenges of addiction and mental health, ...
The funding that I secured supports our counties, towns, schools, and community organizations. It improves the quality of life for families throughout Georgia’s Second Congressional District, whether they live in urban or rural areas.
I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from AUSA. Our national defense and security are built on a foundation of the people who serve, ensuring that they are the best equipped fighting force in the world, & that their families are taken care of so that they can focus on the mission at hand.
