***TONIGHT*** 6:30PM #GabeOkoye Town Hall Meeting A #TownHall meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 24th, at 6:30 PM at #LawrencevilleCityHall. Topics include protection against #DeedTheft , #PublicSafety , #LegislativeUpdates, and a proposed #PublicTransportationPlan.
Today my first bill, Senate Bill 144,was signed into law. Thankful for all the bipartisan support this legislation received.
BREAKING: The Department of Labor has raised the overtime threshold. The new rule says that everyone who makes under $58,656 and works over 40 hours a week must be paid time-and-a-half. That increases the threshold dramatically from $35,568. substack.perfectunion.us/p/the-departme…
With more than 33,000 deaths, 70 percent of whom were women and children, now is not the time to issue a blank check to the Netanyahu government. I joined this statement with my colleagues today. @JoaquinCastrotx

A few facts remain true: 🔵 Georgia is one of 10 states that have not fully expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. 🔵 Georgia has the 2nd highest rate of uninsured in the country. 🔵 Georgia Pathways is not working. georgiarecorder.com/briefs/kemp-si…
This week John Oliver discussed Medicaid work requirement programs (like GA Pathways) and how poorly they perform. Arkansas in fact suspended its work requirement after < 1 year and has since fully expanded Medicaid. But here in GA, apparently ego and intransigence trump facts.
Kemp, his corporate backers, and all these cowardly Governors are so scared of working people organizing because they know that once workers see they have all the power in our economy there’s no going back.

Did you see the shocking state audit that revealed Kemp’s Office of Planning and Budget and the Georgia Department of Human Services awarded a $1.1 billion contract to their hand-picked vendor in just seven days? 11alive.com/article/news/p… #gapol
Good. The US government must not engage itself in another regional war. We must also call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

I had a wonderful tour of @PeachtreeRidge_ High School. They are taking many innovative approaches to teach our children. I was so impressed with the students! I look forward to being back. Thanks for showing me around Principal Jarusinski!

Today 79 years ago, the US army blew up the giant marble swastika overlooking the infamous Nazi rally grounds at Nuremberg, Germany.
With more than 33,000 deaths, 70 percent of whom were women and children, now is not the time to issue a blank check to the Netanyahu government. I joined this statement with my colleagues today. @JoaquinCastrotx
Most Americans do not want our government to write a blank check for Netanyahu’s war in Gaza. We support achieving a ceasefire that allows hostages to be freed, humanitarian aid to be delivered, and peace talks to begin. My statement with others who voted NO on HR 8034:
On Saturday, I voted against sending more offensive weapons to Israel in part because it would signal support for an expanded invasion of Rafah. The US cannot continue to be complicit in the destruction of Palestinian life in Gaza.
Israeli strikes on southern Gaza city of Rafah kill 18 ow.ly/6WJO105q9Om
A few facts remain true: 🔵 Georgia is one of 10 states that have not fully expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. 🔵 Georgia has the 2nd highest rate of uninsured in the country. 🔵 Georgia Pathways is not working. georgiarecorder.com/briefs/kemp-si…
It’s a huge deal that @RepRaskin voted against sending more weapons for Netanyahu’s assault in Gaza. Raskin bucked both AIPAC and J Street, a monumental shift in the politics of weapons aid to Israel within the Democratic Party.
This week John Oliver discussed Medicaid work requirement programs (like GA Pathways) and how poorly they perform. Arkansas in fact suspended its work requirement after < 1 year and has since fully expanded Medicaid. But here in GA, apparently ego and intransigence trump facts.
Ditto on the budget and record number of line item vetoes and disregards.
Perhaps the Governor forgot we have checks and balances. He does not hold absolute power.
📢 Attention high school seniors and families! FAFSA submissions are lagging compared to last year. Delayed submission has real consequences for college access and affordability. More money is available but not enough families are applying. Here's why this matters:
Kemp, his corporate backers, and all these cowardly Governors are so scared of working people organizing because they know that once workers see they have all the power in our economy there’s no going back.
I’m proud to join Republican governors in opposing UAW’s latest anti-job unionization push. In Georgia, we’ll continue fighting for hardworking Georgians and job creators!
Did you see the shocking state audit that revealed Kemp’s Office of Planning and Budget and the Georgia Department of Human Services awarded a $1.1 billion contract to their hand-picked vendor in just seven days? 11alive.com/article/news/p… #gapol
How about the AG figure out how we get our money back from Rivian? We have spent over 200 million of taxpayer money on dirt for a plant that’s not even under construction. Also what about the student loan forgiveness we just passed in the General Assembly this year?
President Joe Biden wants relief for former college students with significant college debt. Georgia joined six other states in a federal lawsuit seeking to stop the program. ajc.com/education/geor…
