U.S Senators Perdue, Loeffler push for small business support during COVID-19 pandemic

U.S. Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler from Georgia proposed several measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on small businesses, in a letter sent to several officials, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

Perdue and Loeffler wrote that several measures need to be implemented to ensure small businesses have the flexibility and certainty needed to protect employees and serve customers during the pandemic.

The senators’ proposed measures include removing certain regulatory barriers to Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, allowing federal borrowers to enter into loan workouts and restructuring to avoid foreclosure and allowing federal borrowers to temporarily defer the principal portion of the monthly payment and make an interest-only payment.

“Businesses and their employees face unique risks and challenges from COVID-19,” the senators said in a news release. “This is particularly true for small businesses and their employees that are supported by the traveling public, including the hotel, hospitality, sporting event, entertainment and restaurant industries. These small businesses face staggering cash flow and liquidity challenges as travel continues to slow as a result of COVID-19.”

ICYMI: U.S. Senator David Perdue Condemns Chuck Schumer’s Threats Against Supreme Court

U.S. Senator David Perdue continues to stand up for our impartial judicial system while radical Democrats make reckless attacks on Supreme Court Justices. In an interview this morning with Wes Carroll on News Radio 540 in Columbus, David condemned Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his recent comments against Supreme Court Justices, claiming they would “pay the price” for their “awful decisions:”

“What Schumer did was so dangerous because what it does is it throws off the balance of our three branch system. The judiciary is supposed to be totally independent and here we have the leader of a major party in the United States Senate on the steps of the Supreme Court threatening specifically two individual Justices by name… This is not about party politics, this is about endangering the very fabric of our representative democracy.”

LISTEN to David’s defense of our Supreme Court here.

David Perdue Becomes Presumptive Republican Senate Nominee

March 6, 2020 |

Filed Under: Latest News, News From The Trail, Press Releases

With qualifying formally coming to a close in Georgia, it’s official: U.S. Senator David Perdue will be the nominee of a unified Republican Party as he seeks re-election this November.

No other Republicans entered the race for Senator Perdue’s seat, guaranteeing that no candidates will challenge the Senator in the Republican primary.

“I’m truly humbled by the breadth of support Georgia voters have shown for our movement to change the status quo in Washington,” said U.S. Senator David Perdue, who continues to unify Georgians across the state. “We’ve accomplished so much these last few years and we’re just getting started, I look forward to continuing our fight to deliver real results for all Georgians as I seek re-election this November.”

“David Perdue’s positive, results-driven message as the original outsider continues to resonate with Georgia voters, and his unopposed candidacy for the Republican nomination is a testament to his popularity as a leader who delivers,” said Perdue for Senate Campaign Chairman Alec Poitevint. “He’s paved the way for record economic growth, secured funding for the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, strengthened our HBCU’s, supported our military families and ensured disaster aid for our farmers. David continues to get results for Georgia families. Our state is fortunate to have him as our Senator.”

“With socialist Democrats pushing their big-government agenda on Georgia families, we need David Perdue fighting for us in the United States Senate more than ever,” said Perdue for Senate Campaign Manager Ben Fry. “David is committed to leading the GOP to victory in Georgia this November. Working with President Trump, our 159 county grassroots organization, and other conservatives up and down the ballot, we will make 2020 a great year for our country’s future and stop the radical socialist agenda in its tracks.”

What They Are Saying: U.S. Senator David Perdue Qualifies For Re-Election Bid

March 3, 2020 |

Filed Under: Latest News, News From The Trail, Press Releases

Yesterday at the Georgia State Capitol, standing beside Governor Brian Kemp and dozens of supporters, U.S. Senator David Perdue announced he had qualified for re-election. In his remarks, Senator Perdue affirmed his support for President Donald Trump’s pro-growth, pro-jobs leadership and made it clear that he will stand against the rising tide of socialism as he seeks a second term. Here are some highlights of the day’s coverage.

Fox 5 Atlanta reported on Senator Perdue’s press conference shortly after he officially qualified for re-election:

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted Senator Perdue’s support for President Donald Trump and his goal to be a unifying force for Georgia Republicans in 2020:

“Six years ago, I stood right here and said, ‘Washington’s broken and if you want to see different results, send a different person,’ ” Perdue said, adding: “I didn’t see Donald Trump coming, but thank God, God sent him…”

“My role as a senior senator is to make sure Republicans stay united,” he said. “That’s the first thing.”

Capitol Beat News Service highlighted Senator Perdue’s commitment to opposing socialist policies like the Green New Deal and Medicare-for-all that Bernie Sanders and Georgia Democrat candidates for U.S. Senate have advocated for:

Democratic contenders, especially presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, loomed large in the speech from U.S. Sen. David Perdue, who is seeking re-election to Georgia’s other U.S. Senate seat. The GOP incumbent called for beating back support for policies splitting the national Democratic party like Sanders’ Medicaid-For-All plan.

“What we have to do is to make sure once and for all in the state of Georgia that the road to socialism will never run through Georgia,” Perdue said.

And Rahul Bali of GPB News noted how Senator Perdue made it clear that, “The road to socialism will never run through Georgia:”

Senator David Perdue – a true outsider

March 2, 2020 |

Senator David Perdue – a true outsider

By Alec Poitevint

While political insiders have been commonplace for decades in Congress, outsiders capable of changing the status quo are a rare thing. Senator David Perdue is that kind of outsider, and we must re-elect him this November.

A former Fortune 500 CEO who created thousands of jobs while revitalizing companies that were on the verge of collapse, David has a clear record of solving problems with innovative, outside-the-box thinking. David’s leadership of companies like Reebok and Dollar General breathed new life into their brands and expanded opportunity for countless employees.

Since taking office as our senator, David has used the skills he learned as a business leader and job creator to get results for Georgia families and solve problems that others could not. We saw this when he secured hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, a project that had been stalled for years before. Thanks to David, this expansion will breathe new life into our state’s economy.

David’s understanding of economic issues has been essential to moving the ball forward for the American people in recent years as the country has experienced record-breaking growth. He played a key role in securing tax relief that saved each Georgia family over $1,000 on average. David also led on efforts to rollback destructive regulations imposed by Dodd-Frank on community banks, which are essential to small business owners and local communities.

David has also shown courageous leadership for Georgians when they’ve needed help the most. He spearheaded efforts to quickly rebuild the I-85 bridge after its collapse and secured over $3 billion in federal disaster aid despite partisan attempts by some in Congress to delay it.

An accomplished dealmaker, David has also shown willingness to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats to move the ball forward on issues like school safety. He recently put forward legislation to improve access to information for schools seeking to become more secure from mass shootings, bringing together Democrats and Republicans to find a bipartisan solution for a serious problem.

Few senators, even those who have spent decades in office, can boast the same depth of accomplishments that David has achieved in less than six years. But while his effectiveness as a senator speaks for itself, David does not wish to remain in politics indefinitely. He does not plan to seek more than two terms in office and supports putting term limits in place so that our country can return to being run by citizen legislators, not career politicians like our founders intended.

A true outsider like David Perdue is a rarity and that’s why we must do everything we can to ensure that he wins re-election in November. America would be much better off if more senators were cut from the same cloth as him.

By acquitting President Trump, the Senate protected our Republic

By acquitting President Trump, the Senate protected our Republic

This week, the U.S. Senate turned the page on one of the most troubling chapters in our country’s history. Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives attempted to use impeachment as a partisan political weapon. The Senate prevented this from happening.

From day one, House Democrats were only concerned with overturning the 2016 election and influencing the 2020 election.

Democrat House manager Adam Schiff had a consistent message: we can’t trust elections, that’s why we have impeachment.

In America, we believe in due process. We believe in the rule of law. We believe an individual is innocent until proven guilty.

Throughout the impeachment process, however, President Trump was denied basic due process.

President Trump was denied the right to have counsel present at the hearings, cross examine witnesses, present his own witnesses, see the evidence, and face his accuser.

House Democrats spent just 112 days investigating, compared to almost 400 days spent on President Clinton’s impeachment trial.

When they were done investigating, it was clear that both articles of impeachment, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, should have been dismissed right away by the Senate. Neither one rose to the level of impeachment.

Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution explicitly lists four reasons for impeaching a president: treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors—another word for crime.

The last three presidents to face impeachment had all been charged with a crime. President Trump is the first president ever to be impeached without committing a crime.

The first impeachment article, abuse of power, alleges President Trump, for his own political gain, asked Ukrainian President Zelensky to investigate corruption.

The president has the responsibility to expose corruption. He had every right to be concerned about Hunter Biden’s $1 million per year board membership at Burisma. He had every right to be concerned about Vice President Biden’s efforts to fire the very prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.

Democrats failed to prove this request was done for political gain.

Regarding the second article, obstruction of Congress, every president has the right to claim executive privilege to protect our national interests and the separation of powers.

To claim that executive privilege is obstruction of Congress would fundamentally weaken this important right for future presidents.

After presenting these inappropriate articles of impeachment, House Democrats then demanded the Senate call additional witnesses that they had not called during the House investigation.

However, the Constitution is clear: it is the House’s responsibility to conduct the investigation. The Senate is charged to rule on the articles and evidence presented.

That’s because in the House, committees can investigate while the rest of the chamber works on legislation. The Senate, however, is by law required to conduct a formal impeachment hearing. This requires the Senate to stop working on any legislation and effectively shut down.

If House Democrats wanted new witnesses, they could have pursued subpoenas in court during the House investigation. They chose not to. They were in such a rush to impeach President Trump before Christmas that they sent the Senate an incomplete case.

In the Clinton impeachment trial, three witnesses were called to the Senate for clarification. However, those witnesses had already testified before the House.

It is simply not the Senate’s constitutional duty to call additional witnesses. That’s the House’s job.

After 17 House witnesses, over 28,000 pages of documents, and 193 videos of witness testimony, we had heard enough.

The Senate acquitted President Trump not only because the two articles presented were illegitimate and did not qualify for impeachment, but also because there was zero evidence of wrongdoing. You can’t just say someone is guilty. You must prove it. The House did not do that.

This was a purely partisan effort in the House. The Founders clearly warned against partisan impeachment. Even Jerry Nadler agreed in 1998, when he said, “There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment substantially supported by one of our major political parties and largely opposed by the other.”

The Senate’s role has always been to hold the House of Representatives accountable. We did that this week. Now we can get back to work for the American people.
