Dear Friends,
Today, I'm in Washington, D.C. working to get the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 out of Judiciary Committee and to the House floor for a full vote.
Not only am I proud to be a co-sponsor of Justice in Policing, but many of my policy and legislative priorities are directly reflected in the bill – H.R. 7120 – including my Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act, which was cut and pasted into this bill.

Dear Friends,
Normally this time of year, I would be writing a speech for a program at the Walk of Heroes Veterans Memorial Park in Rockdale County and preparing words of encouragement for the DeKalb County Veterans Affairs Advisory Annual Memorial Day ceremony.
But this year is obviously different.
As the nation continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, this Memorial Day we can all take a personal, private moment to honor our fallen heroes and mark this moment despite the uncertainty.
Today, I returned to Washington to vote in support of The Heroes Act, crucial legislation to address the COVID-19 health and economic crisis. Our communities, workers and families urgently need more relief to weather the pandemic.
Many of our frontline heroes are at risk of losing their jobs, even as they risk their lives to care for us.
Dear Friends,
Before I launch into discussing resources that are available to you and your family during the pandemic, I want to wish all our mothers a Happy Mother's Day this Sunday. Mothers are the glue and bonds that hold our families together, and this is particularly true today.
On that note, I hope you and your families are staying safe and healthy. To say we are living in unprecedented times is an understatement. None of us have lived through a global pandemic like the COVID-19 crisis we face today.
Dear Friends,
While Congress is coming back into session on Monday, May 1, I was in Washington last week to support H.R. 266, The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act that expands help for small businesses, hospitals and testing. The interim emergency funding package will provide the emergency resources that are desperately needed to sustain frontline healthcare workers, small businesses, and our communities.
