Congressman Brian Jack

I was honored to join the wonderful people of Spalding County today in celebration of the groundbreaking of the Griffin-Spalding Regional Airport. This historic achievement was delivered through the collaboration of federal, state, and local stakeholders, and its construction will create more jobs and grow the economy across Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District.

Thank you to the Under Secretary of Transportation Ryan McCormack, Lt. Governor Burt Jones, and Spalding County leaders for participating in our ceremony today!

Today, we PASSED a new Farm Bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, for the first time since 2018.

Introduced as the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, this legislation delivers BIG WINS for farmers and consumers.

Over 500 organizations — including the National Chicken Council and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association — endorsed this bill.

209 Republicans, 14 Democrats, and 1 Independent voted YES on its passage.

Thank you to Georgia EMC and electric membership cooperatives from across our Congressional District for visiting Capitol Hill today!

We discussed support for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Utilities Service, proposed legislation to expedite FEMA reimbursements, and the importance of permitting reform and its ability to lower costs for customers in our District.

Thank you to our brave law enforcement who quickly acted to protect us this evening at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, an annual event that celebrates the First Amendment.

May justice be swiftly served.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 Congressional App Challenge: Omar, Juliet, Wade, and Alaina from Carrollton High School!

The students’ application, “NxtSteps”, will help guide high school students through the college application process using interactive grade-level maps to help prospective college applicants reach critical milestones.

I had the privilege of spending time with these incredible students and their wonderful families this week, and I was honored to recognize their achievement during a committee hearing on the app-based economy.

From academics to athletics, Carrollton High School continues to produce champions and inspire excellence.

I join my colleagues in mourning the passing of Congressman David Scott.

David represented our neighboring 13th Congressional District of Georgia for 12 terms, and he made history as the first Georgian to serve as Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture.

May we lift up the family and friends of Congressman Scott in prayer during this difficult time.

Today, I visited the University of West Georgia to deliver a $637,520 federal investment in safety and infrastructure improvements on the campus of the University of West Georgia.

Under the leadership of its new president, Dr. Michael Johnson – a U.S. Marine Corps veteran – the University of West Georgia is one of the fastest-growing universities in Georgia.

I am immensely proud to represent the West Georgia Wolves and the Carroll County community in Congress, and this federal partnership will ensure the future leaders of Georgia and our Country enjoy a safe and secure environment as they prepare to be the workforce of tomorrow.

Today, I visited the City of Hope Atlanta Cancer Center in Newnan to deliver $1.98 million in federal funding I secured for cancer prevention and early detection.

This funding will support the development of new technology that will optimize the way physicians screen and treat patients by synthesizing extensive oncology data to identify the best preventive therapies and treatments.

The City of Hope Cancer Center is one of our Country’s leading cancer centers, and our Congressional District is very proud to call it home and support its breakthrough research!

Happy Easter to all!

Today, we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, salvation through faith in Him, and victory over death.

May you have a wonderful day with family and friends!
