From deepening the Port of Savannah, to rebuilding the military, to delivering COVID relief, I’ve been focused on getting results for ALL Georgians.

.David Perdue & I sent a letter on behalf of Skylar Mack, an 18-year-old student detained in the Cayman Islands, to ensure a safe return to Georgia.

We’re working alongside the U.S. Embassy & Mack’s family in calling for leniency for this young woman.

Bonnie and I wish each of you a Merry Christmas! We hope you are filled with joy and peace today and throughout the New Year.

In this crisis, my #1 priority has always been to protect the people of GA and help drive recovery efforts.
 
Today we delivered:

→ More PPP for small biz
→ 2nd round of relief checks
→ Funding for hospitals & schools
→ Efficient vaccine distribution
→ Support for farmers

Today, we will deliver nearly $1 trillion in additional aid on top of the $3 trillion already disbursed.

Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi made this harder than it needed to be, purposely holding up relief that could have been delivered months ago.
