Bennie Thompson

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my colleague, Congressman David Scott. My heart and prayers are with his family, friends, and staff during this difficult time. His service to Georgia shall be remembered by all who were able to experience it.

Tune into today's hearing on Protecting Elections from a Trump Takeover. We are addressing the Trump Administration efforts to undermine public confidence in election outcomes in order to justify Federal intervention in State and local election administration.

They risked their lives to protect American soldiers. Now Trump wants to deport them to a country they’ve never even been to. A draft-dodger abandoning the very people who stood with us.

Voter suppression in this country is becoming more real every day under the Trump Administration. Credit reporting agencies should not be the determining factor on whether you can vote at the polls. We have real work to do. Shame on this administration!

I am happy to join the bipartisan Gulf South Business Caucus and work alongside colleagues to advance shared priorities in energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and industrial growth across our region.
