| https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=16654 | RELEASE: Carter welcomes new 14-day red snapper season following efforts to expand fishing access | 2026-09-22 | 2026 | 2026-09 | Republican | House | GA | Earl L. "Buddy" Carter | C001103 | buddycarter.house.gov | buddycarter | https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today welcomed NOAA Fisheries’ announcement of a new 14-day recreational red snapper fishing season for eligible Georgia anglers from October 9 through October 22, 2026. The announcement follows efforts led by Rep. John Rutherford (R-FL), alongside Carter and other South Atlantic lawmakers, to expand recreational fishing access after litigation halted the states’ planned summer seasons. “Georgia’s fishermen deserve greater access to the waters they know best, and this 14-day season is an important step forward,” said Rep. Carter. “I want to thank Congressman John Rutherford for his leadership on this issue, along with President Trump, Secretary Lutnick, NOAA, Governor Kemp, and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for their work to get our anglers back on the water. I’m proud to have worked alongside them to fight for our fishermen and coastal communities, and we’re going to keep pushing for even greater access.” In June 2025, Carter led members of Georgia’s House Republican delegation in urging Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to support efforts by Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina to secure greater authority over recreational red snapper management. Under NOAA’s newly issued permits, eligible Georgia anglers will have access to the October 9–22 season. NOAA and participating states will review harvest data afterward to determine whether an additional fishing opportunity may be available in December. | 1 | 2026-09-23T09:45:16Z | 2026-09-23T09:46:14Z |
| https://mccormick.house.gov/media/press-releases/response-dsas-growing-political-presence-mccormick-introduces-communist | In Response to DSA’s Growing Political Presence, McCormick Introduces Communist Control Act of 2026 | 2026-09-22 | 2026 | 2026-09 | Republican | House | GA | Richard McCormick | M001218 | mccormick.house.gov | mccormick | https://mccormick.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. — Today, Congressman Rich McCormick (GA-07) introduced the Communist Control Act of 2026 (H.R. 10501) to amend the Communist Control Act of 1954 and apply its provisions to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). This critical piece of legislation would treat the DSA in the same manner as the Communist Party of the United States under the Communist Control Act of 1954. The bill specifically adds the DSA and its successor organizations to provisions of the existing law. “The Democratic Socialists of America has told us exactly what it wants to do, and we should believe them,” said Congressman McCormick. “They want to rewrite our Constitution and fundamentally restructure the government of the United States. America has confronted this ideology before. We cannot sit back and watch it gain a foothold in our institutions. The Communist Control Act of 2026 makes clear that we will defend our Constitution, our freedoms, and the system of government that has made America the greatest and best country in the world.” BACKGROUND: Congressman McCormick introduced the Communist Control Act of 2026 amid increased attention on the Democratic Socialists of America and its candidates. The organization’s current platform calls for drafting a new constitution and creating what it describes as a “democratic socialist republic.” The platform also proposes abolishing the Senate and replacing the independently elected presidency and existing Supreme Court structure with institutions selected by and subordinate to Congress. Congress passed the original Communist Control Act in 1954 amid concerns about the Communist Party of the United States and its activities during the Cold War. The law declared that the Communist Party should be outlawed and denied the party and qualifying successor organizations certain legal rights, privileges, and immunities. | 1 | 2026-09-23T09:45:16Z | 2026-09-23T09:46:14Z |

Allen | A000372 | allen.house.gov | allen | https://allen.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed S. 2403, the Retire through Ownership Act. Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) introduced the House version of this bill last year, which would provide legal and regulatory clarity in the formation of new Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). Following House passage of S. 2403 by a vote of 401-14, Congressman Allen issued the statement below: "One of the many lessons I learned over my decades-long career as a small business owner is that true success is measured by the success of your employees. ESOPs are a valuable tool to build wealth for retirement and give employees an ownership stake in their employer. The Retire through Ownership Act will help eliminate the regulatory ambiguity and unnecessary risks these plans often face while providing a clear framework for valuing employer stock. I am proud that this bipartisan, bicameral bill is one step closer to the finish line as we continue to advance policies that ensure more Americans can enjoy a secure retirement," said Congressman Allen, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions. "ESOPs provide employees with a meaningful foothold in capital ownership—allowing them to share in the success they’ve helped create. Unfortunately, lack of clarity in the law has brought uncertainty and created legal grey areas. S. 2403 fixes this problem by providing clear guidance," said Representative Walberg, Chairman of the Committee on Education and Workforce. "Employee ownership is a proven asset for workers, businesses, and our economy, and it should not be undermined by ambiguity in the law. I’m glad to see this critical legislation make it to the president’s desk—ending over fifty years of confusion and strengthening employee ownership." BACKGROUND: Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) let workers build retirement savings by owning stock in their company. When an ESOP buys stock in a private company, an independent appraiser helps determine what that stock is worth. The Department of Labor … | 1 | 2026-09-18T09:27:43Z | 2026-09-18T09:29:09Z |

Following the announcement, Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) issued the statement below: "Funding for the long-awaited veterans cemetery in Augusta has now been officially awarded to the State of Georgia. To our veterans and their families in the CSRA and surrounding communities: the tireless work that brought us to this point is for you. I am proud to have played my part at the federal level in delivering over $13 million for this project and I look forward to officially breaking ground as soon as possible. I also extend my heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to Former Augusta Mayor Bob Young and Augusta Commissioner Don Clark for their relentless efforts in making this possible." BACKGROUND: On August 5, 2026, Congressman Allen and several community leaders participated in a press conference in Augusta, Georgia—touting the federal funding for this project which Congressman Allen helped deliver. The funding was appropriated via H.R. 5371, the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act for Fiscal Year 2026, and made available through the Veterans Cemetery Grant Program. The funding has now been officially awarded to the State of Georgia. The new cemetery will serve veterans and their eligible family members of the Augusta region in Georgia. The grant will fund the construction of an Administration Building, Maintenance Building with a covered wash bay, Committal Service Shelter, an Assembly Area, 600 full casketed gravesites, 1,500 pre-placed crypts, 900 in-ground cremation gravesites, 960 columbarium niches, a Memorial Wall with 140 memorial wall plaques, an entry feature, roadways, landscape, irrigation, site furnishings and supporting infrastructure. | 1 | 2026-09-17T09:52:05Z | 2026-09-17T09:53:00Z |

Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) recognized Winton Machine of Suwanee, Georgia as a Special Georgian of the Ninth in celebration of the company’s selection as one of the five finalists advancing to the grand finale of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Freedom 250 Patriot Pitch Competition. The Winton Machine Company was founded by Lisa and George Winton in 1997. For nearly three decades, the company has designed and manufactured automated tube and coax fabrication machinery. Their impact stretches across numerous industries, such as aerospace, medical manufacturing, and defense. Winton’s American-made machines serve over 500 customers in the U.S. and across the globe, including China, Israel, Mexico, and Sweden. During a meeting at his Washington, D.C. office, Congressman Clyde surprised Lisa and George with the award. After highlighting the company’s incredible success and achievements, Rep. Clyde presented the Wintons with a Special Georgian of the Ninth certificate. “From its founders to its operators, the Winton Machine Company embodies Northeast Georgia’s grit, ingenuity, and resilience,” said Clyde. “This thriving, family-owned business is a driving force in the Made in America revival — fostering economic prosperity, creating skilled jobs, and strengthening national security. As a Freedom 250 Patriot Pitch finalist, Winton Machine and its hardworking employees are receiving well-deserved recognition for driving innovation and investing in the next generation of American manufacturing. I’m proud to celebrate this extraordinary accomplishment by awarding the Winton Machine Company as a Special Georgian of the Ninth, and I wish the Winton team continued success for decades to come.” Background In May, the SBA announced the Patriot Pitch Competition, a national celebration of 250 years of American free enterprise and small business innovation.

The Subcommittee heard testimony from Dr. Anemone Franz, Visiting Research Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute; Mr. Joshua Hodges, Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution; and Dr. Gigi Gronvall, Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “American biotechnology has long been one of our nation’s greatest strategic assets, but that leadership is no longer guaranteed,” said Congressman McCormick. “The Chinese Communist Party has made biotechnology a national priority, just as it has with semiconductors and artificial intelligence. We cannot afford to be complacent. We must protect American research, strengthen oversight, and ensure the breakthroughs funded by American taxpayers translate into American jobs, American manufacturing, and American strength.” The hearing examined federal oversight of high-risk biological research, including gain-of-function research, as well as the growing convergence of artificial intelligence and biotechnology. McCormick emphasized both the enormous potential of AI to accelerate drug discovery, protein design, and biomanufacturing and the need to prevent American research, data, and technology from being exploited by adversaries. McCormick has also introduced two bills to strengthen American biotechnology leadership. The Biotechnology Workforce Alignment Act (H.R. 8398) would better align federal biotechnology research investments with the skilled workforce needed to develop and scale those innovations here at home. The Biotechnology Diplomacy Leadership Act (H.R. 9755) would strengthen U.S. leadership abroad by coordinating American biotechnology policy and confronting threats from adversaries see… | 1 | 2026-09-17T09:52:05Z | 2026-09-17T09:53:00Z |

The bipartisan Congressional American Film & TV Production Caucus will work to revitalize, strengthen, and expand film production across the United States. For nearly a century, the United States was the undisputed global leader in film and television production, creating stories that inspired generations of Americans, from Rocky to Top Gun. However, our nation has lost more than 100,000 film and television production jobs since the industry's 2022 peak, more than a third of the workforce. Last year alone, U.S. productionspending fell 20 percent while the U.K. grew 15 percent and Eastern Europe grew 78 percent. In recent years, individual state incentives have been outpaced by subsidies offered by foreign countries, leading to an exodus of film production overseas out of the country. No single state can outbid a foreign government on its own. America should be competing for this work at the national level, and American crews, small businesses, and local economies should be the ones who benefit. Last month, President Donald J. Trump voiced his support for a bipartisan legislative approach to revitalizing the American film industry, posting on Truth Social, “Republicans and Democrats [should] get together, and immediately craft Legislation to save the Movie, Television, and Entertainment Business in America. Congress should approve, immediately, a Federal Production Incentive to create Entertainment Jobs in America.” The Congressional American Film & TV Production Caucus is eager to partner with President Trump and his Administration to educate Members of Congress on the economic and cultural importance of American filmmaking and to propose legislative s… | 1 | 2026-09-19T09:11:33Z | 2026-09-19T09:12:45Z |

"Buddy" Carter | C001103 | buddycarter.house.gov | buddycarter | https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | TYBEE ISLAND, GA. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today announced that Tybee Island will receive $12,000,742 in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction funding for beach renourishment, supporting continued efforts to protect Tybee Island’s shoreline, infrastructure, and coastal community. “Tybee Island is one of Georgia’s greatest treasures, and protecting this community and our coastline has always been a top priority of mine. This $12 million investment will help ensure Tybee’s beaches remain protected, resilient, and ready to withstand the storms and coastal threats that come our way. I am proud to have worked alongside our local, state, and federal partners to continue delivering the resources Tybee Island needs, and I will keep fighting to protect Georgia’s coast for generations to come,” said Rep. Carter. The $12 million federal contribution will be combined with $8 million contributed by the City of Tybee Island, Chatham County, and the State of Georgia, which combined will allow the Corps to complete a long-planned $20 million nourishment project that will place more than 1.3 million cubic yards of sand on Tybee's beach this winter. "This announcement is a huge relief for the people of Tybee Island and across Coastal Georgia and the State of Georgia. We can't thank Congressman Carter enough for his tireless advocacy on behalf of all of us," said Tybee Island Mayor Brian West. "Since 1974 we have partnered with the federal government to complete a beach nourishment every seven years, and given the current state of erosion the timing of this project is more critical than ever. This announcement allows the project to continue on schedule, supporting a $200 million economy, critical sea turtle nesting grounds, and our primary protection from ocean storms." "Across America, communities shouldn't face storm risks while federal funds sit trapped on completed projects.

Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) led more than 40 House Republicans in introducing the Make Apportionment Great Again (MAGA) Act, legislation to require a reapportionment prior to the 2028 election and add a U.S. citizenship question to the 2030 census and beyond. The MAGA Act aims to ensure non-citizens no longer distort congressional representation and Electoral College vote distribution. “U.S. elections and representation are for the sole participation and benefit of American citizens,” said Clyde. “While we wait for the Senate to finally take action on the SAVE America Act, we must also recognize that the ballot box is not the only way non-citizens can impact American elections. Counting all residents regardless of citizenship in the U.S. census allows non-citizens, including illegal aliens, to influence the makeup of congressional seats and the distribution of Electoral College votes.” “Republicans have long warned that Democrats' intentional illegal invasion and sanctuary policies are rooted in a desire to boost blue states' power. Amid high stakes and slim margins, Congress must act before the 2028 elections to ensure only American citizens decide how congressional maps are drawn and who resides in the White House,” Clyde added.

Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA), a pharmacist, today joined Rep. James R. Walkinshaw (D-VA) in introducing the bipartisan Telehealth Reporting and Transparency Act of 2026, legislation to provide Congress and the public with reliable annual data on how Medicare beneficiaries are using telehealth, where access gaps remain, and how taxpayer dollars are being protected from fraud, waste, and abuse. “Telehealth has transformed the way millions of seniors access care, especially in rural communities where patients may live hours from the nearest provider,” said Rep. Carter. “As Medicare continues to embrace telehealth, Congress needs reliable data to ensure these services are reaching the patients who need them while protecting taxpayer dollars from fraud, waste, and abuse. This bipartisan legislation will give policymakers and the public greater transparency without placing new burdens on the physicians and practitioners caring for our seniors.” “Telehealth can be a lifeline when getting to a doctor is difficult, especially for seniors, people with disabilities, and patients in rural communities. It also gives patients greater flexibility to manage chronic conditions, access behavioral health services, and receive routine follow-up care,” said Rep. Walkinshaw. “Congress should not shape the future of telehealth in the dark. I’m proud to work alongside Congressman Buddy Carter on this bipartisan effort to show what is working, where access gaps remain, and where taxpayer dollars may be at risk, without adding another layer of paperwork for physicians and other practitioners.” The Telehealth Reporting and Transparency Act of 2026 would require the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to issue an annual report examining Medicare telehealth utilization, patient access, available health outcomes, provider participation, and program integrity. The legislation requires CMS to rely exclusively on information it already collects and prohibits the agency from imposing new reporting or admini… | 1 | 2026-09-23T09:45:16Z | 2026-09-23T09:46:14Z |

(September 11, 2026) | Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11), issued the following statement in rememberance of the 25th Anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001. “President Ronald Reagan warned, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” On September 11, 2001, that warning was realized by a new generation of Americans. A generation who had not experienced such a direct threat to our freedoms but had learned from a previous generation of the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. And, just like that generation, we too were saddened, grief-stricken, scared, and angry. “As the previous generation of Americans responded to the attacks in 1941, this new generation also experienced a surge in patriotism, nationalism, and prayer. We stood in lines at recruiting stations eager to answer our nation’s call and filled our church pews as we petitioned God to comfort our aching hearts and heal our wounded country. As always, God answered those prayers; and over time, our nation began to heal. But, as with any wound, the healing from this tragedy left many scars; however, scar tissue is thicker, harder, and tougher than the original tissue it replaces; and ultimately America became stronger and mightier as a nation. “Two-and-half-decades have now passed since the attacks in 2001, and a new generation of Americans are now poised to lead our nation. However, as Reagan further admonished, this freedom is not naturally inherited by our children, it must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. “It is for this reason that today we remember those whose innocent lives were stripped away by a cowardly and ruthless enemy. We honor those who willingly gave their lives trying to save others.

In the letters, the Chairmen highlight the growing importance of biotechnology to U.S. economic competitiveness, scientific leadership, national security, healthcare, agriculture, energy, and manufacturing. They also emphasize that rapid advances in biotechnology—including synthetic biology, gene editing, DNA synthesis, automated laboratory technologies, and the convergence of biotechnology and artificial intelligence—present significant opportunities as well as emerging security risks. “The United States must lead in this area of research to support economic growth and societal benefit while strengthening safeguards against harm caused by negligent or malicious actors,” the Chairmen wrote. The letters also highlight the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology’s April 2025 report, which concluded that “biotechnology will be a defining strategic technology of the twenty-first century” and warned that the United States risks falling behind global competitors without a coordinated national strategy. The report identified biotechnology as critical to economic competitiveness, national defense, public health, agriculture, energy, and industrial production. The Chairmen commend the Administration's leadership in this area, including President Trump’s May 5, 2025, Executive Order on Improving the Safety and Security of Biological Research. As part of their oversight, the Chairmen ask the agencies to identify any significant gaps, vulnerabilities, or emerging threats related to biotechn… | 1 | 2026-09-12T09:02:30Z | 2026-09-12T09:03:27Z |

Clyde Files Amicus Brief in Defense of Americans’ Second Amendment Freedoms | 2026-09-03 | 2026 | 2026-09 | Republican | House | GA | Andrew S. Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09), in partnership with the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), filed a Supreme Court amicus brief in the case Viramontes v. Cook County (consolidated with Grant v. Higgins), a major Second Amendment case addressing the constitutionality of semi-automatic rifles. More than 60 House Republicans joined Rep. Clyde on the brief. In Viramontes v. Cook County, the U.S. Supreme Court is weighing whether the Second Amendment protects the right to possess semi-automatic rifles such as AR-15s, after Cook County, Illinois and the State of Connecticut enacted bans on these firearms, which were upheld by the lower courts. The brief argues that the Supreme Court should overrule the lower courts and declare such bans unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. In the brief, the lawmakers argue: “To hold that these rifles may be banned, not in spite of, but because they are effective in military service is to read the prefatory clause out of the Constitution, violate its plain text, and completely ignore this Court’s ruling in Heller. The Amendment protects, at minimum, arms that are in common use for lawful purposes and that bear a reasonable relationship to the citizen-militia tradition the clause celebrates. Military small arms that meet the common-use test, of which the AR-15 is a quintessential example, must therefore sit near the heart of the right, not outside it.” “Much to gun-grabbing Democrats’ dismay, the Second Amendment is abundantly clear,” said Clyde. “‘Shall not be infringed’ is not a suggestion, regardless of the firearm in question. Semi-automatic rifles, including AR-15s, are owned by millions of law-abiding Americans, as it is well within our constitutional rights to do so. As an unapologetic voice in the fight to protect and restore our Second Amendment liberties, I’m proud to lead this amicus effort, and I’m confident the Supreme Court will declare these bans for what they are: blatantly unconstitutional.” The brief was joined by 62 House R… | 1 | 2026-09-04T09:19:37Z | 2026-09-04T09:20:58Z |

Clyde Leads GA GOP Delegation in Urging Attorney General Carr to Clarify Georgia Law Following Historic NFA Court Ruling | 2026-09-02 | 2026 | 2026-09 | Republican | House | GA | Andrew S. Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) led seven of his Georgia Republican colleagues in sending a letter to Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr urging him to issue a legal opinion clarifying a discrepancy in Georgia law that could prevent law-abiding Georgians from fully exercising their recently restored Second Amendment rights following the landmark ruling in Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF (consolidated with Jensen v. ATF). The lawmakers open by highlighting Attorney General Carr’s decision to have the State of Georgia join as a plaintiff in the case that helped deliver the most significant Second Amendment restoration in more than a century. “We congratulate you on your win in having the State of Georgia join as a plaintiff in the Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF case, in which the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled on August 5th, 2026 that the National Firearms Act (NFA) registration and transfer requirements are unconstitutional because it cannot survive the elimination of the underlying taxes. Congressional efforts to eliminate those taxes, combined with this court ruling, reflect the greatest restoration of Georgians’ Second Amendment rights in over 100 years.” However, Rep. Clyde and his colleagues explain that Georgia’s current criminal code prevents Georgians from freely and fully exercising their recently restored Second Amendment liberties. “Georgia’s criminal code generally prohibits possession of short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, machine guns, and silencers. That prohibition does not apply, however, to a person ‘who is authorized to possess the same because he has registered the sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, machine gun, dangerous weapon, or silencer in accordance with the dictates of the National Firearms Act.’ Now that NFA registration is no longer required and, under the court’s ruling, may no longer lawfully be demanded of Georgians covered by the injunction, this provision no longer maps cleanly onto federal law.

Camarota, Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies, on the growing birth tourism industry and additional steps Congress can take to combat the practice. During the roundtable, Congressman McCormick highlighted his landmark legislation, the Ban Birth Tourism Act, which would prevent foreign nationals from traveling to the United States for the primary purpose of giving birth in order to obtain American citizenship for their child. “American citizenship is one of the greatest privileges in the world. It shouldn't be bought as a product, exploited through a loophole, or handed out to foreign nationals who fly here solely to give birth and then return home,” said Congressman McCormick during the roundtable. “Every year, roughly 33,000 children are born here in the United States to birth tourists, many of whose parents are coached by businesses that teach how to deceive immigration officials. That is not a legal gray area. It's fraud by design, and we cannot tolerate it any longer.” McCormick questioned Camarota on whether the Ban Birth Tourism Act is a step in the right direction and what additional actions could be taken to prevent the practice. Camarota pointed to stronger prosecution of businesses facilitating birth tourism and changes to the visa process that would allow consular officials to more effectively identify individuals seeking to enter the United States for that purpose. McCormick also raised concerns about the potential long-term immigration consequences of birth tourism and questioned Camarota on how the practice has developed over time to which Camarota described birth tourism at its current scale as a largely modern phenomenon, pointing in part to the increased affordability and accessibility of international travel. … | 1 | 2026-09-02T09:19:58Z | 2026-09-02T09:20:51Z |

When President Roosevelt left the Yalta Conference he told his aides – who were worried about his ailing health – ‘If I can just make it back to Warm Springs, I’ll be OK.’ President Franklin Delano Roosevelt left an indelible mark on our Congressional District, and we are proud to have been the home away from home for a President.” Throughout the Fireside Chat, Congressman Jack fielded questions from constituents on the economy, immigration, values, and election integrity. | 1 | 2026-08-30T10:18:21Z | 2026-08-30T10:19:31Z |

This investment was made possible through Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which received Rep. Clyde’s vote and unanimous Democrat opposition, including from Georgia’s Democrat Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. The OBBBA delivered a historic $50 billion investment, known as the Rural Health Transformation Program, to help states modernize rural health. “I’m deeply thankful for President Trump and his Administration’s implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s commitment to invest in and ultimately improve rural healthcare,” said Clyde. “From strengthening the workforce to expanding access to critical care, this investment will make a tremendous impact throughout the Peach State, including in the rural communities across the Ninth District. It’s incredible to see the Rural Health Transformation Program in action, delivering on our promise to make rural America healthy again.” Background Today’s announcement, which is just one part of the larger overall funding amount awarded to Georgia for Fiscal Year 2026, completes Georgia’s initial Year 1 award cycle.

A Marine, Navy veteran, and former head of emergency medicine in Kandahar, McCormick reflected on his own service in Afghanistan, the sacrifices made by a generation of American service members, and the failed Biden-era policies that culminated in the chaotic withdrawal and the deaths of 13 American heroes. McCormick honored the lives and service of those brave Americans while highlighting the need for accountability and ensuring our nation learns from the failures that led to that devastating day. You can read the op-ed HERE or below. Image Five years ago, 13 American service members were killed at Abbey Gate during the final, chaotic days of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. Eleven Marines, one soldier, and one sailor reported for duty that day, surrounded by thousands of desperate people trying to escape a country falling back into Taliban control. At 5:36 p.m. on Aug. 26, 2021, an ISIS-K terrorist detonated a suicide bomb in the crowd, killing those 13 Americans and countless Afghan civilians. For me, the anniversary of Abbey Gate is deeply personal. I served over 20 years in the United States Marine Corps and Navy, deploying to combat zones in Africa, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan. In Kandahar, I led the emergency medicine department and felt the cost of war: lost limbs, traumatic brain injuries, and catastrophic wounds that changed young Americans’ lives forever. For two decades, Americans answered the call to protect freedom in Afghanistan. Some never came home. Others returned with wounds, both visible and invisible, that they will carry for the rest of their lives, and their families will carry those burdens with them. That is why the collapse of Afghanistan was so painful for so many veterans. As the Taliban swept across the country and reclaimed Kabul, we saw images of desperate Afghans cl… | 1 | 2026-09-02T09:19:58Z | 2026-09-02T09:20:51Z |

On Monday, Congressman Clyde surprised Julie with the award during lunch at the X-Factor Grill in Toccoa. The working lunch featured Julie and her husband, Pastor Steve Paysen; Toccoa-Stephens Chamber of Commerce President Tessa Reavis; Stephens County Development Authority (SCDA) President & CEO Brittany Ivey; Stephens County Commissioner Tara Simmons; SCDA Board Member Cassandra Wilkins; SCDA Treasurer Rick Phillips; City of Toccoa Commissioner Terry Carter; Stephens County Hospital CEO Van Loskoski; Fieldale Farms CFO Eddie Elrod; and SCDA Assistant to President & CEO Sadie Hawkins. After delivering remarks highlighting Julie’s economic achievements and civic involvement, Rep. Clyde presented her with a Special Georgian of the Ninth certificate. “Whether fostering economic prosperity in Toccoa or spreading the Gospel with her husband, Julie’s passion to serve and ultimately strengthen the local community is deeply admirable,” said Clyde.

Clyde Leads Coalition Urging DOJ to Adopt Historic NFA Court Ruling Nationwide | 2026-08-11 | 2026 | 2026-08 | Republican | House | GA | Andrew S. Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) led nearly 50 of his House and Senate Republican colleagues in sending a letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) to decline any appeal of last week’s historic ruling against National Firearms Act (NFA) registration for $0 NFA tax firearms, as well as to apply and set it nationwide through official rulemaking. On August 5th, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas delivered a monumental win to plaintiffs in Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF (consolidated with Jensen v. ATF). The landmark ruling struck down NFA registration requirements for suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and any other weapons (AOWs), rightly ruling that these requirements exceed Congress’s constitutional authority after Congress eliminated the NFA’s transfer and making taxes on those arms. In response, Rep. Clyde and his colleagues urge the DOJ to not appeal the ruling, which marks the most significant victory for the Second Amendment since the NFA was enacted in 1934. “We recognize the Department has a seven-day window under the court's order to seek relief at the appellate level, but we urge the Department not to appeal. An appeal would prolong regulatory uncertainty for law-abiding gun owners and businesses and would consume DOJ resources defending a position that this Congress and now a federal district court has said cannot stand. We ask that the Department decline to appeal, to seek rehearing, or to otherwise attempt to cabin or narrow this ruling.” The lawmakers further urge the DOJ to immediately take steps to apply the court’s ruling nationwide and make its outcome permanent via rulemaking. “Immediate application of the ruling nationwide is necessary to avoid the untenable alternative in the interim: a split enforcement regime in which the DOJ applies these requirements to one gun owner while declining to apply them to his neighbor, solely because one person happens to be a cust… | 1 | 2026-08-12T06:18:38Z | 2026-08-12T06:20:33Z |

Clyde Urges ATF to Limit Firearm Record Retention and Destroy Illegal Gun Registry | 2026-08-05 | 2026 | 2026-08 | Republican | House | GA | Andrew S. Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) led nearly 30 of his House Republican colleagues in sending a letter Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director Robert Cekada urging the agency to limit the retention of firearm records to 20 years and immediately destroy digitally recorded firearm registration records. On May 6th, the ATF issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Firearm Records Retention Periods” (RIN 1140-AA95). This NPRM proposes that Form 4473s be retained for either 20 or 30 years by both federal firearms licensees (FFLs) and the ATF — meaning a firearm transaction record could be retained for up to 30 years by the selling FFL and an additional 30 years by the ATF after transfer to the National Tracing Center (NTC), for a potential maximum combined retention period of 60 years. In response, the lawmakers urge ATF Director Cekada to revise the agency’s proposed rule and destroy any digitized firearm transaction records. “In our view, the current practice of indefinite retention of firearm transaction records, and even the proposed retention period of up to 60 years, are excessive and risk infringing on the privacy of lawful gun owners. We therefore urge the ATF to revise this NPRM and instead promulgate a rule establishing a 20-year total retention policy, from the date of sale, for the physical, non-digitized firearm transaction records held by FFLs or the ATF and to provide for the immediate destruction of all such records older than 20 years. Furthermore, we urge the ATF to comply with existing law prohibitions on the recording and digitization of such firearm transaction records, and to immediately destroy any recordings of such records already in its possession.” Rep. Clyde and his colleagues cite the Firearm Owners' Protection Act of 1986 (FOPA) and a critical appropriations rider as explicit legal prohibitions on the ATF's current recordkeeping practices. “Read together, these two prohibitions permanently preclude the ATF from recording… | 1 | 2026-08-06T07:37:31Z | 2026-08-06T07:38:34Z |

This effort reinforces the need to strengthen congressional oversight and hold federal employees accountable for obstructing congressional investigations. The legislation follows last week’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, where former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times rather than answer questions from senators regarding his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. “For years we’ve watched unelected bureaucrats evade accountability while millions of families are still searching for answers,” said Senator Marshall. “Congress has a constitutional duty to conduct oversight, and that responsibility means nothing if federal officials can refuse to answer questions without consequence. This bill restores accountability and begins rebuilding the trust that's been lost.” “The Constitution gives Congress the responsibility to conduct oversight, and that responsibility means nothing if witnesses can ignore lawful questions without consequence,” said Congressman McCormick. “Federal officials answer to the American people — not the other way around. If someone refuses to cooperate with Congress or lies under oath, they are giving up the privilege of serving in the federal government and should be held accountable for their deceit. I am grateful to Senator Marshall for continuing this important effort to keep this bill moving.” With Senator Marshall’s introduction of the Senate companion legislation, the STOP the SWAMP Act now advances as a bicameral effort to restore transparency, reinforce Congress’s oversight responsibilities, and ensure that those who obstruct lawful congressional investigations are held accountable. | 1 | 2026-08-05T07:37:37Z | 2026-08-05T07:38:44Z |

This critical piece of legislation would bar individuals from working for the federal government if they refuse to answer certain questions before Congress or are convicted of perjury. This bill authorizes members of Congress to refer witnesses who unlawfully withhold information to the Department of Justice (DOJ), establishing clear consequences for those who obstruct federal investigations. “If you can hide from Congress, you shouldn’t be able to work for the federal government,” said Congressman McCormick. “Congress has a constitutional duty to conduct oversight, and federal employees have a duty to tell the truth. Full stop. If someone lies under oath or refuses to cooperate with a lawful investigation, there should be consequences. Public service is a privilege, and no one is above the law.” Congressman McCormick reintroduced the STOP the SWAMP Act following renewed scrutiny surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci’s testimony before the Senate on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer more than 100 questions from senators investigating the federal government’s COVID-19 response. The hearing examined Fauci’s actions during the pandemic, including decisions related to broader federal health care policy. | 1 | 2026-08-01T07:27:26Z | 2026-08-01T07:28:22Z |

Congressman Brian Jack said, “I am honored to welcome my friend, Hungarian Ambassador Szabolcs Takács, to Haralson County. In the late 1800s, dozens of Hungarian families moved from Pennsylvania's coal mines to Haralson County to establish a wine-making community. They named their village Budapest after the Hungarian capital, and planted vineyards across the surrounding hillsides. After Prohibition was enacted in the 1920s, many of the families left, and all that remains from that era is a home which once served as a Catholic rectory and the historic Budapest Cemetery. Ambassador Takács' visit is a special moment in Haralson County's rich history, and I am grateful for the incredible support the Haralson County Historical Society, the Hungarian Community Church of Georgia, and the community provided to facilitate this meaningful event.” Ambassador Szabolcs Takács said, “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my friend, Congressman Brian Jack for his generous invitation to Georgia, to his team for organizing this event, and to the representatives of the Hungarian community in Georgia for arranging today's visit. The place where we stand today is both a historical and sacred focal point of Hungarian-American heritage.

I am proud to champion our hardworking farmers in Congress, and I was honored to cast a YES vote in favor of the Farm Bill earlier this year. Throughout this Congress, I have worked with our farmers to expand market access, secure necessary assistance, and put Georgia and American agriculture first. “Before I was sworn into Congress, I pledged to bring America’s leaders to our communities to promote the incredible things happening across Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District. I am honored to keep that promise, as today marks the 9th visit by a Member of President Trump’s Cabinet to our District during my first term.” Secretary Brooke Rollins said, “I was so excited to visit Georgia for the fourth time since being sworn in as Secretary of Agriculture.

This bill would allow the Social Security Administration to pursue scoped demonstration programs while ensuring voluntary participants' overall income is not reduced, giving disabled Americans the chance to build the future they want," said Rep. Scott. “I had the opportunity to take a constituent hunting several years ago who was a double amputee purple heart recipient. He shared with me the defeat as a husband and father wanting to work and take care of his family but being limited on what he can do without losing all benefits and hurting his family more." “The massive discrepancy between the 60 percent of Americans receiving Social Security Disability Insurance who say they want to work and the less than 1 percent who actually enter the workforce and successfully exit the program each year shows just how much the Social Security Administration’s complex rules and regulations are failing to deliver for Americans living with a disability,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08). “Representative Scott, in particular, has been a champion for so many Purple Heart veterans who could return to work if there were relief from the current restrictive work compensation rules.

This legislation will close a loophole in U.S. immigration law by preventing foreign nationals from traveling to the United States for the primary purpose of giving birth. As a result, their child automatically acquires American citizenship. The legislation follows the Supreme Court's recent decision in Trump v. Barbara. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make birth tourism grounds for inadmissibility and deportation while providing immigration officials with the authority to stop the practice before it occurs. "American citizenship is one of the greatest privileges in the world. It should not be bought as a product, exploited through a loophole, or handed out to foreign nationals who fly here solely to give birth and return home," said Congressman McCormick. "Every year, roughly 33,000 children are born in the United States to birth tourists, many of whom are coached by businesses on how to deceive immigration officials. That is not a legal gray area; it is fraud, and it has gone on long enough." Current estimates indicate that approximately 33,000 children are born in the United States each year to birth tourists, with some foreign nationals paying thousands of dollars to companies that provide coaching on how to evade immigration scrutiny. The Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026 would: Make any alien seeking admission to the United States for the primary purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship for a child through childbirth inadmissible. Add birth tourism as a deportable offense under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of State to determine, based on the reasonable judgment of immigration and consular officials, whether an individual is engaging in birth tourism.

The NDAA authorizes annual funding levels for the U.S. Armed Forces and sets expenditures for the Department of War (DoW). Included in H.R. 8800, and secured by Congressman Rick W.

After voting in support of the bill on the House floor, Congressman Allen issued the following statement: "I have consistently said that the NDAA is one of the most vital pieces of legislation that comes before Congress each year. Especially so this year. We are currently confronting an unprecedented global threat environment—with multiple adversaries working together to undermine and weaken our national security. Now is not the time to underinvest in our warfighters and military capabilities. The FY2027 NDAA locks in a pay raise for our servicemembers and will ensure our military has the necessary equipment, technology, and facilities to remain the most lethal in the world. I was also proud to champion a provision in the bill to halt all proposed service changes at the EAMC. "The EAMC has consistently been ranked one of our nation's most prestigious military health institutions. Last year, when I learned about the potential reduction of services at the hospital, I immediately began demanding answers and working with my colleagues in Congress and the Trump Administration to ensure these baseless plans were abruptly discontinued. Today, we are one step closer to achieving that goal—not just for the military families, active duty military, and veterans that EAMC serves—but for the entire CSRA.

Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today voted in favor of the Stop Insider Trading Act. Rep. Carter is an original co-sponsor of the legislation, which helps restore Americans' faith and trust in government by prohibiting Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing publicly traded stocks and enacting much-needed federal voter ID laws to secure our elections. “This bill helps ensure incoming Members of Congress are here to represent the people and serve the public, not their pocketbooks, and to safeguard the integrity of our election system,” said Rep. Carter. The Stop Insider Trading Act would: Ban Members, their spouses, and their dependent children from purchasing a security issued by a publicly traded company. Require Members of Congress to file a public notice at least 7 days, but no more than 14 days, in advance for each intended sale with the Clerk of the House of Representatives. Require the House Ethics Committee to (1) issue a fee equal to $2,000 or 10% of the value of the covered investment, whichever is greater, and the net gain realized from the sale, and (2) any net gain realized from the transaction during a specified period. Require voters to show a photo ID when casting a ballot in a federal election and require absentee and mail-in voters to attach a copy of their ID to their mail-in ballot. ### | 1 | 2026-07-23T07:31:02Z | 2026-07-23T07:32:26Z |

Today, Congressman Fuller voted for H.R. 8800, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027, which funds the pay raise President Trump requested for America's service members and authorizes $1.1 trillion for national defense. The NDAA authorizes funding for the Department of Defense and national security programs. “I know what we ask of the young men and women who serve, and I know what their families give up while they are gone. Paying them what they have earned is not a favor. It is the minimum, and yet the Democrats continue to refuse to support them,” said Congressman Fuller. “A strong national defense is essential, and we cannot let the radical left continue to put American citizens at risk.” 205 House Democrats voted against the bill, and against the pay raise inside it. The FY2027 NDAA backs the President's proposed pay increase for every rank, with the largest raises going to junior enlisted troops. Congressman Fuller will continue to fight for our service members and their families each and every day. | 1 | 2026-07-23T07:31:02Z | 2026-07-23T07:32:26Z |

The annual defense bill authorizes funding, policies, and priorities to strengthen America’s military, support servicemembers and their families, and ensure the United States remains prepared to deter and defeat emerging threats. The package strengthens America’s military by rebuilding the defense industrial base, restoring military readiness, supporting emerging technologies, improving servicemembers’ quality of life, cutting nearly $30 billion in Pentagon waste, and providing a 5–7 percent pay raise for servicemembers. “Passing the NDAA reaffirms America’s firm commitment to peace through strength," said Congressman McCormick. “As a Marine and physician, I know our military’s greatest advantage is the strength of the men and women who wear the uniform, backed by the strongest defense industrial base in the world. This bill rebuilds America’s military by investing in readiness, modernizing our defense manufacturing base, improving quality of life for our servicemembers, and ensuring we can outpace adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. I’m especially proud that several priorities I fought for were included to strengthen Georgia’s defense industry, improve the health and readiness of our warfighters, and support our national security.” The FY27 NDAA authorizes $1.15 trillion for America’s national defense and includes many provisions championed by Congressman McCormick, including: Establishment of a site-neutral payments policy for TRICARE in order to reduce growth in military healthcare spending without limiting patients’ access to care providers.

Last year, I met with Secretary Pete Hegseth to discuss the importance of preserving and modernizing the C-130 fleet, including the Navy Reserve KC-130J, and continuing the investment in the F-35 program.

The letter comes after the broadcasters refused to air President Donald Trump’s July 16 address on free, open airwaves. In the letter, Rep. Carter writes, “Refusing to air a major presidential address because executives disagree with its content raises serious concerns that they intended to keep Americans in the dark about potential foreign interference in our elections.” Rep. Carter continues, “I therefore ask the FCC to review whether the decisions made by licensed stations owned or operated by these companies were consistent with their obligation to serve the public interest… The public airwaves should inform the American people, not be used by corporate executives to decide which matters of national importance they are permitted to hear.” Read full letter here. | 1 | 2026-07-22T07:34:13Z | 2026-07-22T07:35:16Z |

These reports will help give critical insights into the current chartering process and how Congress can reduce complexities and redundancies in the system. “These reforms help to ensure that our regulatory framework supports economic growth while maintaining the safety and soundness of our financial system. Together, these provisions protect Main Street institutions, increase transparency throughout the regulatory process, and ensure federal regulators put the interests of the American people first.” | 1 | 2026-07-23T07:31:02Z | 2026-07-23T07:32:26Z |

Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today spoke on the House Floor in support of his bill, the FDA Modernization Act 3.0. This bipartisan legislation would bring the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulations into the 21st century by recognizing modern, safe, and effective alternatives to traditional animal testing when possible. The bill requires the FDA to update outdated regulations to reflect current law, providing researchers with greater flexibility to use innovative nonclinical testing methods without compromising the agency's gold standard for drug safety and effectiveness. Watch Rep. Carter’s floor remarks here: “Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of my bill, H.R. 2821, the FDA Modernization Act 3.0, bipartisan legislation that ensures the FDA fully embraces modern science while reducing unnecessary animal testing. Many of our families would feel incomplete without the pets and animals that bring unconditional love into our lives. Yet every year, millions of animals, including dogs, man's best friend, are still subjected to testing in the development of new medicines. As policymakers, we have a responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves. That responsibility includes embracing scientific innovation that can reduce unnecessary animal suffering while continuing to deliver safe and effective treatments to patients. In 2022, Congress took an important first step by passing the FDA Modernization Act 2.0. I was proud to help lead that effort. That law gave drug developers the ability to use modern, scientifically validated alternatives to traditional animal testing when appropriate. Congress made its intent clear. We wanted to encourage more effective, more humane, and more innovative approaches to drug development. Unfortunately, the previous administration failed to fully implement the law. Without clear implementation, too many researchers have lacked the certainty they need, and too many animals continue to be used in testing that modern scie… | 1 | 2026-07-21T07:32:02Z | 2026-07-21T07:33:33Z |

On June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court issued its 5–4 decision in Trump v. Barbara, ruling that nearly all children born in the United States are entitled to birthright citizenship regardless of their parents' immigration or legal status. In doing so, the Court struck down President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order, which sought to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the United States to parents who were in the country illegally. “America is for Americans, not illegal aliens who intend to exploit birthright citizenship as a loophole. Birthright citizenship is being used as a weapon to dilute the value of American citizenship, and it must end. The Supreme Court has made it clear that it refuses to stop the invasion taking place through our broken immigration system. I will continue to fight alongside President Trump and his administration to prioritize the future of American children over the future of illegal immigrants,” said Congressman Clay Fuller. | 1 | 2026-07-18T06:58:50Z | 2026-07-18T07:00:34Z |

As biotechnology rapidly emerges as a critical arena of global competition, the United States faces growing pressure to maintain its leadership in innovation while countering strategic rivals. The National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology recently recommended that the United States strengthen its biotechnology diplomacy, warning that the State Department currently lacks a senior official dedicated to coordinating America's international biotechnology strategy. The Biotechnology Diplomacy Leadership Act addresses that gap by creating a Senior Biotechnology Official within the Department of State to coordinate U.S. biotechnology diplomacy across the federal government, advise the Secretary of State on biotechnology policy, deepen cooperation with allies and partner nations, strengthen biotechnology supply chains, and represent American interests in international biotechnology forums. "America has always led the world in innovation, and biotechnology should be no different," said Congressman McCormick. "If we want to win the next century, we need to treat biotechnology like the strategic asset it is. This bill ensures the State Department has the leadership necessary to advance American innovation, strengthen our partnerships, and keep our competitors one step behind." “Our diplomatic infrastructure has not kept pace amid rapid advances in biotechnology that are transforming public health, food security, national defense, and industries across our economy,” said Congressman Bera. “This bill addresses that challenge by creating a dedicated, high-level biotechnology position at the State Department to strengthen coordination with our allies and partners and ensure the United States remains at the forefront of scientific innovation and global lea… | 1 | 2026-07-17T07:15:58Z | 2026-07-17T07:17:05Z |

The bill amends the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to require citizenship for TANF, SNAP, Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, federal housing assistance, WIC, and the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. "Thirty years ago, this would have been a bipartisan issue, but this illustrates how far the radical left has shifted. Welfare programs funded by American tax dollars should not be the incentive, nor should they be available to non-citizens," said Congressman Fuller. | 1 | 2026-07-16T07:21:44Z | 2026-07-16T07:23:13Z |

The bill passed the House this evening and now moves to the Senate. “The government has no business building a list of who buys a firearm and who buys ammunition. That is a backdoor gun registry, and every gun owner in Northwest Georgia should be free of it. As the District Attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, I spent my career protecting law-abiding citizens, not tracking them,” said Congressman Fuller. This legislation is crucial to prevent credit card issuers from singling out firearm retailers, and it directs the Department of Justice to enforce the ban and report to Congress each year on the resulting investigations. | 1 | 2026-07-16T07:21:44Z | 2026-07-16T07:23:13Z |

"Citizenship in this country is the most valuable thing we have to give. It is not a prize for breaking our laws to get here. As a prosecutor, I saw the price that having an open border has forced on Northwest Georgia families, and I will keep fighting to protect American citizenship.

Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) voted in favor of this funding as part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2024. The funding supports the Brand-New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) Retrofit of Tower Simulation Systems (TSS) to SAV. TSS is a high-fidelity, computer-based, and immersive training tool used by the FAA to train Air Traffic Controllers in a safe, simulated environment. These systems feature 360-degree views, realistic airport layouts, and variable weather conditions, reducing controller certification time by up to 30%, increasing safety and efficiency at major airports. “The Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport had a record-breaking year in 2025, welcoming more than 4.2 million passengers from across the country and around the world. While we love bringing visitors to the Hostess City of the South, that growth comes with the responsibility to maintain the highest standards of aviation safety and efficiency,” said Rep. Carter. “This investment in new air traffic control training systems will prepare the next generation of air traffic controllers to keep passengers safe as we welcome more visitors to experience the beauty of coastal Georgia.” "We appreciate the support from Congressman Carter to help ensure the air traffic controllers at our airport have the most current training systems available to keep air travelers safe," said Greg Kelly, Executive Director, Savannah Airport Commission. | 1 | 2026-06-30T06:29:10Z | 2026-06-30T06:30:42Z |

Specifically, this bipartisan, bicameral legislation, introduced by Representatives Rick W.

The EEOICPA provides compensation and medical benefits to employees who work or have worked in the nuclear weapons industry.

"Buddy" Carter | C001103 | buddycarter.house.gov | buddycarter | https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today sent a letter to the American Medical Association (AMA) calling on it to revoke a recent change to the way maternity services are billed that will impact health care affordability for mothers and babies. The letter surrounds AMA replacing the bundled maternity care Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) framework with a system of individually billable services beginning January 1, 2027, despite concerns regarding affordability, care coordination, administrative burden, wasteful spending, and harmful effects on value-based care. In the letter, Rep. Carter writes, “This is not a routine coding update. It is a fundamental restructuring of how maternity care is reimbursed throughout the American healthcare system.” Rep. Carter continues, “At its core, unbundling maternity care is inflationary. For decades, policymakers, providers, health plans, employers, and patient advocates have worked to move healthcare away from fragmented fee-for-service reimbursement and toward coordinated, value-based models that reward outcomes rather than volume. The existing global maternity codes reflect those principles by encouraging comprehensive management of pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care under a single bundled framework. I strongly urge the AMA to reconsider this misguided policy before it takes effect.” Read the full letter here. BACKGROUND The longstanding bundled maternity care CPT framework allows reimbursement for pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care under a coordinated global payment model. This approach promotes care coordination, simplifies billing, supports value-based care, and helps protect patients from unnecessary costs and administrative complexity. The American Medical Association’s new policy would replace that bundled framework with a fragmented system of individually billable maternity services beginning January 1, 2027. Unbundling maternity care would increase health care costs, create incentives for unnecessary visits and services, add… | 1 | 2026-06-26T06:29:35Z | 2026-06-26T06:31:46Z |

Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Representative Andrew Clyde (GA-09) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the End EPA Abuse Act, legislation to amend the Clean Air Act to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from abusing its regulatory authority. “Under the Biden Administration, the EPA increasingly treated the Clean Air Act as a blank check to push de facto electric vehicle mandates, jeopardize reliable energy sources, and impose costly regulations on American consumers and businesses,” said Clyde. “Unelected Washington bureaucrats should never have the power to dictate what kind of car Americans drive or how our country produces electricity. The End EPA Abuse Act puts Congress back in the driver's seat where it belongs, preventing any future Democrat Administration from abusing the EPA’s regulatory authority to advance the Left’s radical, anti-American energy agenda.” “The EPA has overstepped its authority as far as possible to put America’s energy producers in a chokehold,” said Lee. “They’ve exploited any power they can grab to push Biden and Obama’s climate psychosis at the expense of our energy security. They make up and enforce regulations to suffocate America’s energy producers and devastate major sectors of our economy.

In 2024, Georgia’s Greene County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Chris Eddy, remembered as a “dedicated firefighter, leader, mentor, and loving husband and father,” was killed in the line of duty during an explosion caused by the rapid ignition of refrigerants inside a reefer storage container. Had the container been properly labeled, Eddy’s life could have been saved, as he would have known the dangers before approaching. Rep. Carter delivers speech on Chief Chris Eddy's Law on House floor This bill will prevent future loss of life by ensuring all first responders are aware of the presence of these refrigerants before intervening. “Georgia lost one of our best in an accident that never should have occurred in the first place. While we honor and remember Chief Eddy for his sacrifice and bravery, we must also commit to never allowing this tragedy to be repeated,” said Rep.

Ross of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Judge Ross engaged in extra-marital affairs with a high ranking officer of the Atlanta police department within her chambers during official court hours, while actively presiding over criminal matters. This adulterous affair is not only illegal under Georgia State code, but these activities occurred within earshot of her own court staff. Additionally, Judge Ross provided materially false statements to senior judicial officials during the course of an internal inquiry, potentially obstructing efforts to fully assess misconduct concerns and impacting the administration of the court. Congressman Fuller emphasized that these issues represent a serious breach of judicial ethics and a serious failure to uphold the basic standards required of federal judges. “The American people expect and deserve a judiciary system that operates with the highest level of integrity, professionalism, and accountability. Judge Ross has no place on the federal bench.This behavior is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated on any level within our courts, and most certainly not in the State of Georgia.” He further called for full transparency in any ongoing review and reaffirmed Congress’s responsibility to ensure public confidence in the federal judiciary. | 1 | 2026-06-18T06:41:00Z | 2026-06-18T06:43:25Z |

That is a success, and in our fight to recover from the millions of illegals and drugs the Biden administration allowed to pour into our country unchecked, there is no room for error or for the radical left to turn off the tap once again. “That’s why I was proud to support this necessary, life-saving bill, which provides full and stable funding to ICE and Border Patrol through 2029, and will continue to stand with the brave law enforcement agents who fight pure evil in defense of our home, our democracy, our borders, our lives, and our freedoms. “Linda Davis. Danny Sharpe. Laken Riley. How many more Georgians must die before Democrats will take our border security seriously?” | 1 | 2026-06-10T06:36:00Z | 2026-06-10T06:37:32Z |

Carter speaks on the Secure America Act Watch the Floor Remarks Here "Madame Speaker, I rise today, infuriated by my Democratic colleagues who have put the safety and the security of American citizens last. "First, they opened the border to millions of unvetted illegal immigrants; now, they have repeatedly refused to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection agents, failing in the number one responsibility of elected officials: keeping our citizens safe. "The consequences have been devastating for families. "Take for instance, my district. Linda Davis, a beloved special education teacher at Hesse K-8 school in Savannah, was killed by an illegal immigrant who rammed into her while fleeing law enforcement. "Danny Sharpe, a husband, a father, a son, he was killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving under the influence and without a license in Effingham County. "And then of course, in the state of Georgia, Laken Riley, a bright nursing student, who was murdered while out for what should have been a pleasant jog in Athens. "Linda Davis. Danny Sharpe. Laken Riley. "These are real people, real people who should be with us today. Their families have experienced unimaginable pain because of these reckless politics.

Clyde Files Articles of Impeachment Against Obama-Appointed Georgia Judge | 2026-06-09 | 2026 | 2026-06 | Republican | House | GA | Andrew S. Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) filed three articles of impeachment against Eleanor Ross, a U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, for high crimes and misdemeanors. “When judges become political activists or engage in judicial misconduct, Congress bears both the responsibility and the constitutional authority to hold them accountable,” said Clyde. “Judge Ross’ deeply disturbing actions prove she is incapable of displaying integrity or showing impartiality. She’s simply unfit to remain a U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, which is why I’m leading the charge to impeach Judge Ross and ultimately remove her from the bench.” The three articles of impeachment are summarized below and available HERE. Article I: Incident to her position as a United States District Court Judge, Eleanor Louise Ross has engaged in conduct with respect to improper sexual activity in chambers with a law enforcement officer that is incompatible with the trust and confidence placed in her as a judge. Article II: Eleanor Louise Ross engaged in judicial misconduct by attending a partisan political event. Article III: Eleanor Louise Ross corruptly obstructed, influenced, or impeded an official proceeding. Read the Daily Caller’s exclusive on Rep. Clyde’s articles of impeachment against Judge Ross HERE. Original cosponsors include (7): Representatives Lauren Boebert (CO-04), Sheri Biggs (SC-03), Buddy Carter (GA-01), John Carter (TX-31), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), Andy Harris (MD-01), and Andy Ogles (TN-05). | 1 | 2026-06-10T06:36:00Z | 2026-06-10T06:37:32Z |

"The findings in this report reveal a serious failure of oversight and accountability. Our investigation found that Minnesota officials were aware of credible fraud concerns in federally funded social programs for years, yet failed to take action despite having the authority to stop payments and remove fraudulent providers. At a time when Americans are struggling with rising costs and our nation faces record debt, the potential loss of billions of taxpayer dollars to fraud is unacceptable. Every dollar stolen is a dollar diverted from the vulnerable individuals these programs are meant to serve. The report details allegations that state officials ignored warnings, continued funding high-risk entities, and retaliated against employees who raised concerns. The American people deserve transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of their tax dollars. I support ongoing efforts to strengthen oversight, combat waste, fraud, and abuse, and ensure taxpayer funds are protected. I also support referring these findings to Vice President Vance and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud for further review. The American people deserve a government that protects their hard-earned money. We must ensure failures like this are never repeated."

The NDAA sets Department of Defense (DoD) policies and authorizes funding levels for defense programs. "The National Defense Authorization Act is the most bi-partisan legislation passed on an annual basis by Congress. It strengthens our commitment to ensuring that the United States maintains the most capable and advanced military in the world. My package of amendments strengthens U.S. military readiness, preserves critical combat capabilities, modernizes key munitions and logistics systems, enhances combat casualty care, incorporates lessons learned from the war in Ukraine, and expands cooperation with allies and partners. I am pleased with the work that has gone into crafting this legislation and I thank Chairman Rogers for his leadership," said Rep. Scott. "Congressman Austin Scott continues to be a champion for the people of Georgia's Eighth District. Because of his hard work, I am pleased to report that 50 of his amendments were adopted today during the House Armed Services Committee's markup of the Fiscal Year 2027 NDAA. His leadership and commitment to our nation’s defense were evident in every provision he advanced," said Chairman Mike Rogers (AL-03) In addition to the 50 amendments adopted at the HASC markup of the FY27 NDAA, Rep. Scott had another 15 provisions that were included last month in the base text of the bill and accompanying report.
