On this Veterans Day, let us come together to honor our nation's veterans, thank them for their service, and remember those who lost their lives for our country. As the grandson of a B-17 Bomber Pilot and POW in World War II, I grew up with a deep appreciation for our service members, and today, I am particularly humbled by the reminder of the sacrifices our military men and women have made to secure our freedom and our rights over many generations. Let us also not forget the countless families, just like those living around Moody and Robins Air Force Bases, who provide a support system for our warfighters. It is a duty, privilege, and an honor to say "thank you, veterans." "This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." -Elmer Davis
November is #MilitaryFamilyMonth. Thank you to the families and communities who tirelessly support our warfighters- your sacrifices do not go unnoticed. SHARE to show your appreciation for our military families.
Georgia has been named the best state for business for the fourth year in a row! Our state is full of small businesses, innovators, and entrepreneurs with ambition and ideas that will grow our economy. They just need the government to stay out of their way so they can succeed. I will continue to work to reduce burdensome regulations and help create a climate where businesses in Georgia’s Eighth District can thrive.
Congrats Tift Regional Medical Center! Join me in saying thank you for delivering quality health care to South Georgia.
Yes, the future is bright. The maintenance area at Robins Air Force Base exceeded its aircraft production goal in the past fiscal year. #RobinsAirForceBase

A 25% increase in insurance premiums on Americans and families who are already struggling to make ends meet. This is unacceptable, which is why I will continue to fight to repeal and replace Obamacare with a patient-centered, free market solution. I introduced a bill that would do just that, and you can read about my legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare here: https://austinscott.house.gov/…/congressman-austin-scott-un…

It was an honor to be a part of the dedication of the James Slaton “Jay” Shaw Memorial Highway in Lakeland this week. I knew Jay for many years and was grateful to work with such a strong advocate for the transportation needs of the Eighth District. Jay made a huge impact on the communities of South Georgia, and his passion, integrity, and love for our state will always be remembered through this much deserved tribute to honor his life-long service.
