.@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. foxnews.com/politics/loeffle…

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:

#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. dph.georgia.gov/covid-vaccin…

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.

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.
