While Congress is out of session, Georgia's congressional representatives have taken it upon themselves to return home to visit hospitals, attend conferences, and tour facilities. Some came to show support, some came to speak, and some came to engage with their fellow Georgians. 

First, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) made her way down to the city of LaFayette. There she toured the Roger GE Appliance Plant, which is known for making one product every 15 seconds. 

She commented on X, “They use ALL American steel and provide cooktops and stoves for over half of America’s housing!! I am so proud of this great company and ALL the great people who work there each and everyday!” 

Rep. Brian Jack (R) had the same idea, but spread across Troup, Harris, and Muscogee Counties. He toured four different facilities, including two plants, two universities, and an Aflac insurance location. 

The universities were LaGrange College and Point University. On X, Jack stated that the visit was to “discuss ways we can partner to create wonderful opportunities for students in our district.”

Representatives Mike Collins (R) and Austin Scott (R) teamed up to speak at the Georgia Chamber Congressional Luncheon in Columbus. They discussed the legislative process and the implications of dealmaking that takes place behind-the-scenes. 

Collins commented on the event, stating, “Was proud to talk about our fight for working families and small businesses with pro-growth policies like the One Big Beautiful Bill and so much more. We are gonna keep on truckin’ for Georgia!”

Finally, Senator Raphael Warnock (D) visited Evans Memorial Hospital in the city of Claxton to discuss the state of rural health care access following steep cuts to Medicaid in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Warnock chose Evans Memorial Hospital, because it has been forced to cut $3.3 million annually just to break even, impacting the health care of local Georgians. He commented on this stating, “This is a matter of life and death, and in spite of the heroic work that people in this building are doing every single day, it increases the likelihood that this hospital, or hospitals like it, will close, or they don’t close, and they will have to cut critical services.”
