Dear Friends,

There’s been a lot going on in Washington, D.C. and in the Fourth District, and I’d like to get everyone caught up on issues and projects I’ve been working on.

I was excited to take part in MSNBC’s “Growing Hope” on May 9 for a special edition of PoliticsNation with The Rev. Al Sharpton live from the Sweet Auburn Springfest in downtown Atlanta.

Dear Friends,

For more than 40 years, Americans have come together to celebrate Earth Day as a way to renew our efforts to protect the small, blue planet we all call home.

Each one of us can make a difference. The path to clean air, water and reduced emissions and a healthier planet will only take hold if everyone does his or her part.

Dear Friends,

I’m pleased to report that eight million Americans have now found health coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces – joining the three million young adults who have been able to remain on their parents’ plans, and the millions more who are securing new coverage for themselves and their families through the expansion of Medicaid.

Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,

It’s been a busy couple of weeks in the District and in Washington since I last wrote. From debates about raising the minimum wage, progress under the Affordable Care Act to the role that regulations play in protecting workers’ safety and creating jobs, it’s been an active and productive month here in Georgia and on Capitol Hill. Let’s get caught up.

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year to everyone!

This week, I voted in favor of the 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act to fund the entire government for the rest of fiscal 2014, avoiding another government shutdown.

Dear Friends,

I want to thank the National Association of Chinese-Americans (NACA), Georgia Perimeter College, Oakhurst Medical Center, Four Corners Primary Care and everyone who participated in the Affordable Healthcare Act information event in Clarkston on Saturday, Feb. 1 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Dear Friends,

Last week in Washington, I voted in favor of the bipartisan budget proposal. It wasn’t everything that I wanted, but it represents a modest step toward enacting a budget and preventing further manufactured crises that only harm our economy, destroy jobs, and weaken our middle class.
