Help Move Georgia Forward
Since the Biden-Harris administration and Georgia Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan, millions of Georgia families, small businesses, and communities have received life-changing relief — despite Brian Kemp and Georgia Republicans’ unanimous opposition. For seven months, Georgians have seen the benefits of the President’s historic action to revitalize our economy, get families back on their feet, and make vaccines available to every American. If Georgia Republicans had their way though, Georgia families would not see a penny of this relief.
