I agree @TylerHarperGA! SR890 - which I introduced during the 2026 session - would let us to study how to strengthen state-level protections against unfair market concentration. This legislative work is vital for our Ag community.
Big Food mergers increase costs for Georgia consumers and leave Georgia farmers with fewer options. I’m calling for a federal antitrust investigation of Sysco’s merger with Restaurant Depot because Americans can’t afford another price shock in the food supply chain.

Grateful our service members are safe and commend their courage. The Iranian regime has long posed a threat and must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. As we pray for a peaceful, diplomatic path forward, may God watch over our US Armed Forces and regional partners.

Sen. Fort was a fierce advocate for the voiceless. He leaves a legacy of tireless work and a commitment to ensuring that every community had a seat at the table. My thoughts are with his family and those who loved him or were touched by his leadership. May he rest in power.

Today, I released a statement following an investigation from Georgia's Maternal Mortality Review Committee into the 2022 death of Amber Thurman. This is the first time an abortion related death has been reviewed and found preventable since our abortion ban became law.

Georgia already ranks among the worst states in the nation for maternal mortality and the rates for Black women are 3 times higher! We must come together and act to prevent more unnecessary deaths.
