80 Years Later: Remembering D-Day

Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 Expansion Ceremony

Last week, I was honored to speak at the Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 nuclear expansion ceremony. Since being elected to Congress, I have visited Plant Vogtle on several occasions to witness various stages of progress throughout the Unit 3 and Unit 4 construction process. This project has been years in the making, and I was proud to celebrate its successful completion—making Plant Vogtle the largest nuclear power station in the country.

These new units will provide energy security for Georgia homes and businesses for decades to come, and I commend Southern Company, Oglethorpe Power, MEAG Power, and Dalton Utilities for their commitment to ensuring America's nuclear future starts in the 12th District of Georgia.

Commemorating Jerusalem Day

This week, House Republicans commemorated Jerusalem Day, marking the city's reunification, the renewal of worship at its Holy sites for all faiths, and the restoration of Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel. It took 70 years for the U.S. to recognize this, a milestone achieved by President Trump when he opened our Embassy in Jerusalem on May 14, 2018.

House Republicans will not waver in our ironclad support for our ally Israel.

Additionally, in support of Israel, the House passed H.R. 8282, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act. This legislation would impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court and any foreign actor who supports their effort to arrest, detain, or prosecute protected persons of the United States and its allies, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

June Community Office Hours

Problems with a federal agency? My staff is here to help. I recently announced June Community Office Hours to be offered in all Georgia-12 counties where I do not have a permanent office.

Fall Internship Applications Now Open

I recently announced that my office is seeking applicants for our paid 2024 Fall Internship Program, to be offered in my Washington, D.C. office.

This program is open to college students and young professionals interested in learning about the legislative process and assisting with the responsibilities of a congressional office. Interns will perform a range of tasks including constituent outreach, legislative writing, and more, with the possibility of earning school credit. All applications are due by Friday, July 5, 2024.

Applications can be submitted HERE.

One of the best ways for me to serve you in Congress is by hearing your thoughts and concerns. Throughout the year, I host live Telephone Town Hall meetings to connect with constituents throughout the 12th District.

These meetings are similar to a traditional town hall meeting but are conducted by phone, where you can dial in from the comfort of your own home. The meetings typically last around one hour, with time for you to ask questions, hear live answers, and participate in a number of poll questions that will aid my decision-making in Washington.
