Thank you for your support in my re-election campaign! It’s an honor to continue serving Northwest Georgia in the U.S. House.

Over the next two years, I’m excited to work with President Trump to lock in and build on the success of the last two years. By continuing our work and enacting more free-market reforms, families like yours will continue to see better job options, higher wages and greater opportunities.

Additionally, I’ll continue fighting to balance the budget and pay down our national debt – one of the most important challenges we face. In July, the House took a first step by passing my bill to create the Fund for America’s Kids and Grandkids, which functions like a savings account for future generations. It’s named after those who will bear the consequences if we fail to tackle our spending problem. I will fight hard to see this legislation become law. Our kids and grandkids are depending on us to take action now.

I will also work tirelessly to keep our military strong and get President Trump the resources necessary to secure the border, including completion of the border wall.

It’s a joy to serve Northwest Georgia in Congress. I will continue fighting for Georgia values each and every day, always putting my constituents first.

• locking in and building on the progress we made under President Trump and Governors Deal and Perdue or going back to the Obama / Pelosi economy of high unemployment and stagnant wages
• a free market healthcare system that prioritizes the doctor / patient relationship or government run healthcare where Washington bureaucrats make the decisions for you
• respecting your Second Amendment rights or taking them away
• addressing the growing national debt and deficit or exploding it
• And much more.

I’m running for re-election so I can continue fighting for Georgia’s conservative values in Washington, D.C. 

Over the last two years, working alongside President Trump, we made real progress on the issues that matter most to Georgia families.

We cut and reformed the tax code for the first time in three decades, including doubling the child tax credit.

We slashed regulations, freeing businesses to grow and thrive.

We repealed Obamacare’s harmful individual mandate. No longer will Georgia families be forced to buy insurance they don’t want or can’t afford.

We made historic investments in our military, including a 2.6 percent pay raise for our troops. And we made a down payment on President Trump’s border wall.

Our country is safer, more secure and the economy is finally booming again. In fact, here are some of the results:

• More than 3.8 million new jobs were created since President Trump took office.
• Unemployment is at a 49-year low.
• The number of people employed in Northwest Georgia hit an all-time high in June.
• The number of job openings surpassed the number of job seekers for the first time on record.
• Middle-class wages are at an all-time high.
• Small business optimism is at an all-time high.

The list could go on and on. But it’s important to realize, these things didn’t happen by accident. They are the result of the right policies.

I’m running for re-election to lock in and build on these results. By continuing our work, enacting more free-market reforms, families like yours will continue to see better job options, higher wages and greater opportunities.

I’ll also continue fighting to balance the budget and pay down our national debt. In July, the House passed my bill to create the Fund for America’s Kids and Grandkids, which functions like a savings account for future generations. It’s named after those who will bear the consequences if we fail to tackle our spending problem. I will fight hard to see this legislation become law.

I will also work tirelessly to keep our military strong and get President Trump the resources necessary to secure the border, including completion of the border wall.

I was honored to join my friend Brian Kemp last Monday and Tuesday as he campaigned for governor across Northwest Georgia as part of his “Putting Georgians First” bus tour. Everywhere we went, you could feel the energy and enthusiasm for Brian. His message of lower taxes, safer communities and personal responsibility is clearly resonating. He’s choppin wood in every corner of the state and voters are fired up!

Here are some highlights from the road.

(I was proud to introduce Brian in Chatsworth. There’s no doubt: Murray County is Brian Kemp Country!)

(There was a big crowd waiting to greet Brian in Rome first thing Tuesday morning.)

(Bartow County packed a giant tent for the Kemp family in Cartersville.)

(There was a packed house for Brian in Bremen choppin’ wood to ensure Brian Kemp carries Haralson County by a landslide!)

You can read more about the Putting Georgians First bus tour in the Dalton Daily Citizen HERE and the Chattanooga Times Free Press HERE.

I hope you will vote for my friend Brian Kemp on November 6 because we need a conservative fighter in Atlanta.

I’m proud to support my friend Brian Kemp for governor! He will fight for our conservative values and build on the successes of Governor Deal.

As a small business owner, former state senator and secretary of state, Brian knows how to fight and win in Atlanta. He will work tirelessly to ensure the entire state – including rural Georgia – feels the results of the booming economy.

Brian will invest in workforce development, cut unnecessary regulations, and slash red tape so our businesses and workers can continue to thrive.

He will stop the gangs promoting violence in our schools, selling drugs on our streets and poisoning our communities. He will establish a street gang database within the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, empower the attorney general’s office and ensure local law enforcement gets the resources they need.

Additionally, he will cap state spending, expand access to high speed internet and reform the state’s tax code. He will put Georgia first.

I hope you will vote for my friend Brian Kemp on November 6 because we need a conservative fighter in Atlanta.

The national debt is $21 trillion…and counting. If we don’t take serious action soon, crippling debt is the legacy we’ll pass down to our kids and grandkids – a debt so enormous it compromises jobs, economic growth and national security.

The time for action is now.

That’s why I introduced legislation this spring to create the Fund for America’s Kids and Grandkids, which functions like a savings account for future generations. I shaved 2.5 percent off my Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill to make an initial deposit of $585 million. The money in the Fund cannot be touched until the U.S. Treasury Secretary certifies the deficit is zero or there is a surplus.

While $585 million may feel like a drop in the bucket, I believe the Fund for America’s Kids and Grandkids is not only an example, but a model we can build on. It’s a concept that causes us to think about what all of this deficit spending means and who gets left picking up the tab. I believe it sets a new tone for funding the government: just because you can spend it, doesn’t mean you should. 

So far, other members of Congress agree, as my bill was passed by the House Appropriations Committee this month. The next step is for the full House to consider the bill. I’ll keep you updated on the progress.

If you’re interested in learning more about the Fund for America’s Kids and Grandkids, please read my op-ed in Fox News HERE.

The Fund was also featured in The Wall Street Journalby conservative columnist Kim Strassel. Click HERE to read it.

Early voting started today!  

If you’re unable to travel to the polls on May 22 to vote in the primary election, please remember to make a plan to vote early and support our Republican candidates.

Democrats are determined to hike taxes, protect sanctuary cities and grow government at every level. That’s why we need a BIG turnout in the primary election, which ensures we put our best foot forward going into the November elections.

Not every polling place is open for early voting, so make sure you click HERE to find your location. And please remind your family and friends to plan their trip to the polls as well.

Thank you for your dedication and support.

May the love of God fill your heart and home this holiday season.
