Georgia's congressional delegation was especially active in multiple areas this week, focusing on issues that include technology, foreign policy, domestic policy, and economics.
First, Rep. Buddy Carter (R) joined up with other Georgia Republicans to endorse Josh McKoon for Chairman of the Georgia GOP. President Trump also endorsed McKoon for the role.
Every Republican representative of Georgia endorsed McKoon. He is expected to win reelection.
Second, Rep. Mike Collins (R) hosted members of the Georgia legislature on a tour of the U.S Capitol. Collins commented, “We have some incredible leaders in Georgia, and when the time comes, I hope to see some of them walking these halls in the future.”
Collins also attended a faith-based event in Georgia. This is where he met the Israeli ambassador, Yechiel Leiter. At the event, he showed solidarity with Israel.
Third, Rep. Rich McCormick (R) went on several different visits. He first attended a panel to discuss the future of AI policy.
The subject of the panel was oversight and responsible regulation to keep the usage of AI in check. McCormick commented, “As a former member of the House AI Task Force, it was an honor to discuss how Congress can keep pace with innovation while ensuring responsible oversight.”
McCormick then attended the Reagan National Economic Forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The focus of the gathering was free-market principles and how they relate to American prosperity.
He stated, “This important gathering advanced a core pillar of President Reagan’s legacy: promoting American economic prosperity through opportunity, innovation, and free-market principles.”
Finally, McCormick attended the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF). He spoke at the event and met important figures like Second Lady Usha Vance.
He also met the Indian ambassador, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. McCormick commented, “The forum fostered meaningful dialogue on strengthening economic and strategic ties between our two great nations.”
In the wake of the congressional hiatus, these representatives continue to work on issues important to Georgians. Now that Congress is soon to reconvene, we can expect the activity to shift to lawmaking.
