As we mark 60 years since the Voting Rights Act, we’re still fighting the same battle. The tactics of voter suppression may look different, but the intent remains the same. My legislative package breaks down barriers to the ballot, expands youth pre-registration, and secures

Our veterans earned every benefit, including affordable #homeownership. I met with the VA to discuss improving access. My VALID Act ensures #veterans in the #Fightingfifth and across the country have the resources they need during the homebuying process. It’s about honoring

No veteran should be without a safe place to call home. To honor our veterans, I passed the Return Home to Housing Act to increase housing for unhoused veterans in the #FightingFifth and beyond. While #Trump and #Republicans try to defund the VA, I’m fighting to make sure every

Emory Emergency: There continues to be a police emergency on the Emory Atlanta Campus at Emory Point. Avoid the area. Shelter in place. Updates to follow.

For the second year in a row, Governor Kemp refused federal funds for the USDA’s summer #EBT program. This prevents our most marginalized families from receiving $40 a month per eligible child in food assistance despite growing food insecurity. I joined @RepLucyMcbath and

Let me remind you, this is the same person who delayed deploying the National Guard during the violent insurrection Jan. 6. Crime in DC hit a 30-year low just last year. The #Trump takeover of DC police is completely unjustified. We won’t allow the chaos and confusion in the

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 Atlanta Housing’s affordable developments. From senior supportive housing to #homeownership, everyone in the #FightingFifth
