Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock - Pete Hegseth is not up to the task of keeping Georgia safe. He must resign.

Rep. Andrew Clyde - Senator Warnock has peddled lies and fearmongered Georgia seniors long enough. Given DOGE’s confirmation that the Social Security Administration is NOT closing field sites in the Peach State, I urge Sen. Warnock to abandon his deceitful crusade and apologize to GA seniors.

Rep. Lucy McBath - I applaud today's Supreme Court decision upholding the requirement for background checks on ghost guns. As advances in technology allow for more and more ghost guns to appear at crime scenes across America, our laws must keep up with the changing times. I continue my fight in Congress to require background checks on all gun sales.Dome Politics
