Perdue participates in health care community meeting
The Albany Herald

U.S. Senator David Perdue, R-Ga., participated in a recent community meeting here with South Central Primary Care Center, health care professionals, and local officials to discuss the critical services provided by community health centers and solutions to fix the country’s broken health care system.

“More than ever before, community health centers in Georgia are being relied upon for high-quality, affordable care,” Perdue said. “Rural health centers, like South Central Primary Care, are on the front lines of mental health, care for women and children, and the opioid crisis that continues to devastate far too many families in Georgia and across America.

“Not only do community health centers provide better and more convenient care, these clinics also save our health system more than $24 billion annually by reducing emergency room visits. As we continue to discuss ways to rescue our broken health care system, community health centers will undoubtedly play a key role in these solutions.”

‘Agriculture is not just a business, it’s a way of life’

“I learned at an early age that agriculture is not just a business, it’s a way of life.”
Equities

U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA), a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, visited Coley Cotton Farm for a tour and discussion about Georgia’s critical agriculture industry. The Coley Family has produced cotton and peanuts in Dooly County, Georgia, for four generations. Today, the family operates 4,000 acres of land, a cotton gin, and a peanut buying point.

“Our farming operations are the backbone of America, and the Coley Cotton Farm is no exception,” said Senator Perdue. “After Hurricane Michael devastated the Southeast last October, President Donald Trump broke through the gridlock in Congress and got a bipartisan disaster relief package across the finish line. Now, I am working with the President and Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdueto cut through the bureaucratic red tape and deliver the assistance our Georgia farmers and agriculture communities desperately need. Growing up working on my family’s farm, I learned at an early age that agriculture is not just a business, it’s a way of life for many across the country. Thank you to the Coley Family and all of our Georgia farmers who are feeding and clothing the world.”

‘The Road To Socialism Will Not Run Through Georgia’

GOP rally sounds alarm against socialism

If Saturday’s Floyd County Republican rally at Richard B. Russell Regional Airport was a barometer for the 2020 election season, the GOP believes there is a real clear and present danger to America’s core values in the form of a socialist bent to the other side of the political aisle.

Long before Georgia GOP State Chairman David Schafer called the 2018 election “the most consequential election in our lifetime,” speaker after speaker railed against the threat of socialism espoused by several of the leading Democratic candidates for president.

“The road to socialism will not run through the state of Georgia,” said U.S. Sen. David Perdue, who spurred the crowd of more than 450 party faithful to one round of applause after another during his brief speech.

David Perdue At The Resurgent Gathering

David Perdue at The Resurgent Gathering
Marc Giller, The Resurgent

Georgia Senator David Perdue began his conversation with Erick Erickson this morning on a positive note, praising the state of the economy under President Donald Trump and touting the many accomplishments made by the White House and Republicans in Congress.

Perdue said that after Trump promised action on cutting regulations, unleashing the energy sector, rolling back taxes and repealing the most onerous provisions of Dodd-Frank, Republicans worked together and delivered. A a result, unemployment has gone down and middle class income has gone way up. Perdue added that it makes him “bananas” when Democrats try to claim credit by saying that the economic expansion over the last three years resulted from the policies of Barack Obama. Democrats, he said, “were doing everything they could to kill the economy.”

The conversation then turned to the national debt—$22 trillion and counting. Perdue distilled that down to a sobering number: $1 million per household in America. He outlined five courses of action that can help arrest debt growth and start to turn it around.

What We’re Up Against In 2020

What we’re up against in 2020
By U.S. Senator David Perdue
The Resurgent

I never thought we would be debating capitalism versus socialism in my lifetime. However, after watching the Democratic presidential debates this week, it has become clear that we are in an ideological war for the future of our Republic.

Throughout the current presidential campaign, Democrats have proposed increasingly radical socialist policies.

Bernie Sanders said “you’re damn right” he would end private health insurance.

Elizabeth Warren said she would “get rid of the Electoral College.”

Kamala Harris said packing the Supreme Court with liberal justices is “on the table.”

Democrats are promising to decriminalize illegal border crossings and provide free health care to those here illegally. They are promising higher taxes. They are promising to effectively legalize infanticide. They have supported a “Green New Deal,” which would crush our economy and hit working families hardest.

The irony is that these socialist policies have always failed the very people they claim to champion: the working middle class and the working poor.

A ‘No’ Vote On The Budget Deal Is A Vote For More Spending

August 1, 2019 |

A ‘no’ vote on the budget deal is a vote for more spending
By U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA)
Washington Examiner

When President Trump set out to negotiate a budget deal, he had two primary goals: continue to reduce discretionary spending as a percentage of the economy and fully fund our military.

Those goals were accomplished last week when the Trump administration and congressional leaders struck a deal on spending caps and the debt ceiling.

Unfortunately, many of my Senate colleagues are considering voting no on this deal, because they want to reduce spending. Well, so do I.

In this case, however, a no vote actually is a vote to increase spending over time.

Senator David Perdue Visits Dublin VA Hospital
Middle Georgia CEO

U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, toured the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center in Dublin, Georgia. The Senator visited with veterans and met with the center’s new director, David Whitmer.

“The women and men who have worn the uniform represent the very best of our nation. As Americans, we have a responsibility to uphold the commitments we made to our veterans, and it’s a job I take very seriously,” said Senator Perdue. “Director Whitmer and I discussed his vision for the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center and how we can work together to ensure veterans receive the care they deserve. Last year, I helped establish a pilot program to provide innovative treatment options to veterans with neurological injuries. The VA just completed this study, and the therapy has proven to ease chronic PTSD symptoms. We hope to bring this treatment to the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center to assist middle Georgia veterans who are experiencing PTSD.”
