It’s not lost on me that we are here in Montgomery—the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. The fight for fair representation is still going. The South got something to say and they will hear us.

I was honored to deliver the commencement address at Trenholm State Community College’s spring graduation. Congratulations to this year’s graduates – you should all be incredibly proud of your achievement and I wish you the best in your future! (Photos by TSCC/Desmond Arnold Photography)

This is an incredibly unfortunate decision by the Supreme Court that not only continues their trend of breaking from the norms and precedents set by the Court, but also sets the stage for Alabama to go back to the 1950s and 60s in terms of Black political representation in the state.

Even as we continue the fight for fair representation in our state, I’m still showing up across the district to meet with constituents and learn about their needs and priorities so I can best represent our community in Congress.

Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms throughout the Second District, including to the two amazing women who have always supported me – my wife and my mother. Happy Mother’s Day!

This fight has always been about fair representation! Join me, Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton, State Senator Kirk Hatcher, House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels, and Civil Rights Activist Sheyann Webb-Christburg for a town hall in Montgomery tomorrow to...(1/2)

Congratulations to the young men from District 2 drafted into the NFL last week! Keldric Faulk (Crenshaw County) Lee Hunter (Mobile County) TJ Parker (Russell County) Keep making us proud and I wish you the best in your careers!

A big thank you to our DC spring interns – Mollee, Marianna, and Chris! I’m grateful for the work they’ve put in as a part of our team for the past few months and I’m excited to see all that they achieve in the future!

I'm saddened to hear about the passing of my colleague, David Scott. Congressman Scott faithfully represented his district, was a leader in the Agriculture community, and a true public servant. My thoughts are with his friends, family, and loved ones at this time.

It was great to meet with advocates from Autism Speaks to hear about their personal experience as parents of a young child with autism and learn about their legislative priorities.

The House passed a bipartisan bill to undo the President’s attempt to rip away the protected status of lawful Haitian immigrants and send them into an active humanitarian crisis. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

HBCUs receive less than 1% of federal research funding despite their contributions to our nation. That is why I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan HBCU Research Capacity Act in the House. This will help HBCUs access the funding they need to continue supporting their students.

The pure insanity that comes out of this White House is embarrassing and downright dangerous.

Shomari Figures announced funding to support infrastructure along Interstate 65 and bolster the technology sector during a press conference with local leaders. #alpolitics

This is extraordinary news. A big thank you to all the advocates who spoke out on Mr. Burton’s behalf. And thank you to Gov. Ivey for seeing reason and doing the right thing.

The President has America on the brink of war, and is doing so again without Congressional approval. Using our military to seek a regime change is war. Period. Congress - and only Congress - has the authority to declare war under our Constitution.

I met with the team at Vets Recover to learn more about their mission and the phenomenal work they’re doing for veterans here in South Alabama.

I recently had the chance to meet with the cardiovascular team at Mobile Infirmary, tour their facility, and discuss the innovative work they are doing and the critical issues impacting healthcare in Alabama.

Crenshaw County — thank you for a great community conversation on the most important issues facing the 2nd District and my efforts to deliver for you in Washington. A special thanks to State Senator Kirk Hatcher for joining us.

Started the day off right yesterday by visiting Tuskegee University, where I got to meet some of the incredible students and faculty.

Crenshaw County, I'll see you tonight for a Community Conversation featuring State Senator Kirk Hatcher at 6 pm. You won't want to miss this!

Join me and State Senator Kirk Hatcher this Wednesday, February 18, at 6 PM for a Community Conversation in Crenshaw County for residents of the 2nd District.

Congratulations to Tyler Smith and the Mobile Revelers volleyball team on winning gold at the 2025 Special Olympics Alabama State Volleyball Tournament. They’re headed to Minneapolis this June to compete at Nationals.

Grateful to the team at the Walmart Distribution Center in Brundidge for giving us a tour of the facility and sharing the work they do every day to keep the shelves stocked across our community.

Enjoyed my visit to @troyuniversity.bsky.social, where they are preparing our students well for promising careers in STEM.

Enjoyed my tour of PowerSouth's Lowman Energy Center facility in Leroy, AL, to see firsthand the work they're doing to keep our communities powered.

Join us tomorrow at 10 am at Bullock County High School for the Bullock County Resource Summit.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2nd District Congressional App Challenge, and thank you to all of the participants, educators, parents, and local partners who helped make this year’s App Challenge a success.

Thank you to People United to Advance the Dream Mobile for having me at this year’s MLK Black Tie Gala, celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and honoring local leaders who continue the fight for progress.

Happy New Year!

It’s been my honor to represent our community in Congress this year, and I am looking forward to what we will accomplish in 2026. Happy New Year!

From my family to yours, Happy Holidays!

Working hard with @repscfigures.bsky.social and my @houseagdems.bsky.social colleagues for a Farm Bill that supports American farmers, producers, and hardworking families.

Tune in now! I am speaking during the House Committee on Agriculture Member Day hearing to champion our rural communities and farmers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3JN...

Tune in now! I am giving remarks at the Southern Youth Leadership Development Institute’s Charting Our Future: “From Moment to Movement” Roundtable at the Historic Holt Street Baptist Church Museum in Montgomery. m.youtube.com/watch?v=WaMW...

CLARKE COUNTY: I’m excited to be hosting a joint town hall with @repscfigures.bsky.social at the Clarke County Courthouse on Monday! We look forward to hearing from you and sharing the latest on our work in Congress! See you there! 👋🏾

Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing each of you a day full of family, friends, food, and football! I'm thankful every single day for the opportunity to represent Alabama’s District 2 in Congress!

Excited that students from Spring Hill College visited my office in Washington, DC to discuss the issues they are passionate about. When young people get involved and make their voices heard, our communities are stronger for it.

Truly pathetic that a federal court has to force the Trump Administration to feed less fortunate children, elderly, veterans, and disabled people. A truly sad failure of leadership and compassion. Meanwhile, a $300M White House ballroom is the priority....truly can't make this stuff up.

Enjoyed visiting and learning more about Hooks Lake Port in Washington County. This is what my work on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is all about: supporting the infrastructure and industries that are critical to our District.

Had the chance to spend some time with Alabama’s future workers at the Montgomery Academy For Career Technologies. These kids will come out of high school ready for college or to start a career! This is what workforce development looks like!

Join me for a community conversation in Troy this evening, Wednesday, October 15, at 6:00 pm CT at Academy Street High School. I will be discussing the government shutdown and its impact on the community. I look forward to seeing you all there!

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This shutdown is the result of their failure.

September is #SickleCellAwarenessMonth. Today I spoke on the House floor to acknowledge the patients, advocates, and healthcare workers who are fighting this disease every day.

Today, we celebrate the 78th birthday of the U.S. Air Force. Thank you to everyone who has served and continues to serve our country. I also want to celebrate the Tuskegee Airmen whose heroism shaped history and the Air Force into what it is today. 📷: Maxwell Air Force Base & National Park Service
