Help Move Georgia Forward
This week, after President Biden announced the Build Back Better framework, Georgians saw news across the state touting how transformative the framework’s investments in the middle class will be for the Peach State. Without raising taxes a single penny for Georgians earning under $400,000 a year, the framework will lower Georgians’ bills for health care, child care, prescription drugs, and preschool — all while cutting taxes for families.
As Georgia Democrats continue to work diligently to pass this popular economic agenda, local elected officials in Athens and Albany praised the President’s American Rescue Plan for rebuilding Georgia communities from the tolls of the pandemic. In an op-ed, Albany State Representative CaMia Hopson also blasted Republicans for trying to block the relief Georgia needed to get our economy back on track, saying “The effects of the American Rescue Plan will be felt for generations to come, which is why it is so indefensible that Brian Kemp and Georgia Republicans opposed the bill from start to finish and tried to make passing this relief as difficult as possible for Democrats.”
