Earl L. \u201cBuddy\u201d Carter (R-GA) today announced that he has donated his congressional salary for the 43 days that the government was shut down to America\u2019s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia.\n\nThis donation comes after Rep. Carter sent a letter requesting that his pay be withheld during the duration of the shutdown, a time when Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia stepped up to assist Georgia families on SNAP, WIC, and other government services that lapsed in funding, including those service members and federal employees who missed paychecks or had them threatened.\n\n\u201cSecond Harvest helped many Georgians through the uncertainty of the shutdown; however, its impact has been felt in our area for many years, and countless families have been touched by its service and generosity. This donation will help ensure it and its volunteers can continue their great work through the holiday season, and I thank Second Harvest for being a valuable partner in Coastal Georgia,\u201d said Rep. Buddy Carter.\n\n\u201cWe are deeply grateful to Rep. Earl \u2018Buddy\u2019 Carter for his gracious donation to Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia,\u201dsaid Dan Umbel, President of the Board of Directors. \u201cAt a time when many families are facing heightened need, Rep. Carter\u2019s support strengthens our ability to fight hunger across our region and reflects a true commitment to the well-being of every neighbor we serve.\u201d", 1, "2026-04-07T15:46:19Z", "2026-04-07T20:18:39Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=16016"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8400438819080591, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
