From deepening the Port of Savannah, to rebuilding the military, to delivering COVID relief, I’ve been focused on getting results for ALL Georgians.

[Senator Kelly Loeffler @SenatorLoeffler]

.@sendavidperdue & I sent a letter on behalf of Skylar Mack, an 18-year-old student detained in the Cayman Islands, to ensure a safe return to Georgia.

We’re working alongside the U.S. Embassy & Mack’s family in calling for leniency for this young woman.

Bonnie and I wish each of you a Merry Christmas! We hope you are filled with joy and peace today and throughout the New Year.

[David Perdue @sendavidperdue]

In this crisis, my #1 priority has always been to protect the people of GA and help drive recovery efforts.

Today we delivered:

→ More PPP for small biz
→ 2nd round of relief checks
→ Funding for hospitals & schools
→ Efficient vaccine distribution
→ Support for farmers

[David Perdue @sendavidperdue]

Today, we will deliver nearly $1 trillion in additional aid on top of the $3 trillion already disbursed.

Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi made this harder than it needed to be, purposely holding up relief that could have been delivered months ago.

Statement w/ @SenatorLoeffler:

GREAT NEWS: Two #COVID19 vaccines are now authorized for use!

[U.S. FDA @FDA]

Today, FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the second vaccine for the prevention of #COVID19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. The emergency use authorization allows the vaccine to be distributed in the U.S for use in individuals 18 years and older. https://t.co/w4BQVg0n2G

[Emory University @EmoryUniversity]

The first #COVID19 vaccine was administered at @emoryhealthcare today - Thanks to everyone, including Emory researchers and healthcare professionals and vaccine trial volunteers, who helped make this amazing accomplishment possible!

[Children's @childrensatl]

Today, we received our first delivery of #COVID19 vaccines released for healthcare workers. Tomorrow, we’ll begin administering them to patient-facing employees. This is a moment of change, and we're grateful to the many teams who made this milestone delivery possible!

[GaDeptPublicHealth @GaDPH]

#GAHaveYouHeard
FACT: Vaccine testing was thorough and successful. More than 70,000 people participated in clinical trials for two vaccines. To date, the vaccines are nearly 95% effective in preventing COVID-19 with no safety concerns.

[David Perdue @sendavidperdue]

The first shipments of #COVID19 vaccine have arrived in Georgia!

[U.S. FDA @FDA]

Today, FDA issued the first emergency use authorization (EUA) for a vaccine for the prevention of #COVID19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older. The emergency use authorization allows the vaccine to be distributed in the U.S. https://t.co/1Vu0xQqmCB

[David Perdue @sendavidperdue]

As vaccine distribution begins, I encourage all Georgians to continue following the guidance of public health officials.

While we are one step closer to getting back to normal, our work is not done and we must all remain vigilant.

[David Perdue @sendavidperdue]

Through Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. has successfully developed a lifesaving #COVID19 vaccine in less than a year.

This is nothing short of extraordinary and a testament to the power of American ingenuity.

[David Perdue @sendavidperdue]

A strong America requires a strong military. This defense bill:

→ Fully funds our military
→ Gives troops significant pay raise
→ Supports military families
→ Strengthens cybersecurity
→ Holds China accountable

[Senator Kelly Loeffler @SenatorLoeffler]

A strong America requires a strong military.

Thanks to @FCC’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, over 373,000 rural Georgians will gain access to high-speed broadband. A critical step toward closing the digital divide.

[Ajit Pai @AjitPai]

Major news on the @FCC's top priority of closing the #digitaldivide: we've announced the results from Phase I of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund! Thrilled that millions of Americans in 49 states and CNMI will gain access to high-speed Internet service. https://t.co/3wueu2BUiF
