From deepening the Port of Savannah, to rebuilding the military, to delivering COVID relief, I’ve been focused on getting results for ALL Georgians.

.@sendavidperdue & I sent a letter on behalf of Skylar Mack, an 18-year-old student detained in the Cayman Islands, to ensure a safe return to Georgia.
We’re working alongside the U.S. Embassy & Mack’s family in calling for leniency for this young woman.

Bonnie and I wish each of you a Merry Christmas! We hope you are filled with joy and peace today and throughout the New Year.
In this crisis, my #1 priority has always been to protect the people of GA and help drive recovery efforts.
Today we delivered:
→ More PPP for small biz
→ 2nd round of relief checks
→ Funding for hospitals & schools
→ Efficient vaccine distribution
→ Support for farmers
Today, we will deliver nearly $1 trillion in additional aid on top of the $3 trillion already disbursed.
Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi made this harder than it needed to be, purposely holding up relief that could have been delivered months ago.
Statement w/ @SenatorLoeffler:
GREAT NEWS: Two #COVID19 vaccines are now authorized for use!
Today, FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the second vaccine for the prevention of #COVID19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. The emergency use authorization allows the vaccine to be distributed in the U.S for use in individuals 18 years and older. fda.gov/news-events/press-an…

The first #COVID19 vaccine was administered at @emoryhealthcare today - Thanks to everyone, including Emory researchers and healthcare professionals and vaccine trial volunteers, who helped make this amazing accomplishment possible!

Today, we received our first delivery of #COVID19 vaccines released for healthcare workers. Tomorrow, we’ll begin administering them to patient-facing employees. This is a moment of change, and we're grateful to the many teams who made this milestone delivery possible!

FACT: Vaccine testing was thorough and successful. More than 70,000 people participated in clinical trials for two vaccines. To date, the vaccines are nearly 95% effective in preventing COVID-19 with no safety concerns.

Through Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. has successfully developed a lifesaving #COVID19 vaccine in less than a year.
This is nothing short of extraordinary and a testament to the power of American ingenuity.
A strong America requires a strong military. This defense bill:
→ Fully funds our military
→ Gives troops significant pay raise
→ Supports military families
→ Strengthens cybersecurity
→ Holds China accountable

Sending warm wishes for a happy #Hanukkah to the Jewish community in Georgia and around the world.
Thanks to @FCC’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, over 373,000 rural Georgians will gain access to high-speed broadband. A critical step toward closing the digital divide.
Major news on the @FCC's top priority of closing the #digitaldivide: we've announced the results from Phase I of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund! Thrilled that millions of Americans in 49 states and CNMI will gain access to high-speed Internet service. xitter.cf/matthewberryfcc/status…
