I want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Fourth of July!

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, it gives me great pride to serve citizens of the Fourth District, Georgia and our nation. Every day I go to work – whether in Washington or in Georgia – I work on behalf of the men and women who so honorably and bravely serve in the U.S. Armed Forces.
On this Fourth of July, I especially want to salute the men and women and their families who serve in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Thank you for all that you do!

THE WEEK AHEAD: Word coming to us this hour is that House will vote on a counter-terrorism package that will include a provision to prevent suspected terrorists and the mentally ill from buying guns. This is a step in the right direction. I will continue working with my colleagues, including fellow Georgian Rep. John Lewis, to strengthen our background check system and prevent those on the No Fly list from being able to purchase a gun. For more, click HERE.
