Recently in Hank's Blog

Although the economy is showing signs of recovery, jobs are still lagging. To better serve constituents of Georgia's Fourth District, I have created this jobs page so you know what government work and other jobs that are available. Over the coming months, I'll be adding job openings to this section and I will make it a permanent part of my e-newsletter. I hope you find this useful. – Hank.

THE WINNER

On Saturday, April 18 at the Porter Sanford Center for the Performing Arts from 4 to 7 p.m., Rep. Johnson presented certificates of Congressional recognition to both arts students and students applying to the service academies.

The Arts Competition, which was open to all high school students in the Fourth District of Georgia – including parts of the DeKalb, Rockdale and Gwinnett county school systems – had 50 entries from more than 15 schools throughout the district.



In 2007, there were 19 entries and in 2008 there were 22.



The winning piece will hang in the tunnel leading to the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C., for a year. The Fourth District winner will receive transportation for three to Washington, D.C., for the ribbon-cutting event to unveil the 2009 winners from around the country.

Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04) proudly accepted the Association County Commissioners of Georgia’s prestigious Shackelford Award on Sunday, April 26 at the organization’s annual meeting in Savannah.

The Wayne Shackelford Excellence in Public Service Award recognizes a former county official who also has served or is serving the citizens of Georgia in a state or national office.

Hank and Mereda attended the DeKalb NAACP Annual Membership Breakfast on Saturday, March 28.

The theme was “From Emancipation to Inauguration.” The featured keynote speaker was William “Sonny” Walker, President of the DeKalb NAACP Yvonne Hawks and Elder Thomas Powell from New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.

Hank held his annual IRS Workshop on Saturday, March 21, at the Goodwill Industries Career Center on Columbia Drive.

Officials of the IRS were on-hand to answer questions and process individual tax returns.

Participants learned about earned income tax credits, determine their filing status and receive information about tax-exempt businesses, organizations and 501(c)3 entities.

 

On February 24, Hank held a teletownhall with 25,000 constituents to discuss the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and other matters related to the economy.  The call was held just minutes before President Obama's historic address to Congress.
