Rep. Clyde Applauds Lanier Parks Local Access Act in Action

Wed, 13 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) released the following statement in response to a recent announcement that Hall County Parks & Leisure will assume the management of 11 additional recreation sites along Lake Lanier through a new partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE):

“I’m thrilled to see my successful legislative effort in action for the Ninth District,” said Clyde. “Last year, I offered a simple yet effective solution to help keep Lake Lanier parks open for residents and visitors alike. Due to my hard-fought efforts, this measure was signed into law by President Trump through the appropriations process — delivering a critical win for our beloved Lake Lanier and surrounding communities. I applaud Hall County and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ partnership, and I look forward to these additional recreation sites remaining open, safe, and well-maintained for years to come.”

On January 23rd, President Donald J. Trump signed H.R. 6938, the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, into law. The spending package included Congressman Clyde’s legislation to protect and improve Lake Lanier’s recreation sites.

Due to Rep. Clyde’s hard-fought efforts, the FY26 Energy and Water Development appropriations bill included a provision (Sec. 109) that allows local partners that manage multiple recreation sites at a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civil works project to spend collected user fees across all sites they oversee at that project, rather than being limited to using the fees only at the specific site where the funds were collected.

The measure mirrors Rep. Clyde’s Lanier Parks Local Access Act, which aims to incentivize local governments to manage recreation sites on civil works projects like Lake Lanier.

Background

Last year — just days ahead of Memorial Day Weekend, the USACE Mobile District, which oversees Lake Lanier, announced the temporary closure of 11 Corps managed recreation sites due to staffing shortages.

Weeks later, Rep. Clyde introduced the Lanier Parks Local Access Act to help keep Lake Lanier’s parks and boat ramps open by incentivizing local governments to manage more sites.

Less than one year later, Rep. Clyde’s measure was signed into law by President Trump through the FY26 appropriations process and utilized by Hall County to manage 11 additional sites on Lake Lanier, including seven that were temporarily closed ahead of Memorial Day last year.

Rep. Clyde Congratulates North Gwinnett Seniors on U.S. Service Academy Appointments

Fri, 08 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

GAINESVILLE, GA — This week, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) honored North Gwinnett High School seniors Jenny Lee and Kalil Mazone during a signing ceremony celebrating their U.S. Service Academy appointments. Rep. Clyde proudly nominated the students for the prestigious appointments.

On Tuesday, North Gwinnett High School hosted family and faculty to recognize Jenny and Kalil’s achievements and dedication to military service. Jenny received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, and Kalil received an appointment to and committed to play football at the U.S. Air Force Academy. After delivering remarks highlighting their accomplishments, Congressman Clyde presented both students with Congressional Certificates of Congratulations and Pledges of Commitment for signature.

“Jenny and Kalil are two exceptional young Georgians with bright futures,” said Clyde. “As a Navy combat veteran, I have no doubt that Jenny’s academic excellence, servant’s heart, and self-discipline have equipped her for success at the Naval Academy. Both on and off the field, Kalil is a tenacious, talented leader with a selfless strength for others, which will serve his fellow cadets well at the Air Force Academy. I’m confident these two will continue making the Ninth District proud in their future endeavors and military service.”

Background

Each year, Congressman Clyde nominates eligible candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. Service Academies: U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY. The fifth academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.

Rep. Clyde Congratulates JCHS Twins on U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Appointments

Mon, 04 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

GAINESVILLE, GA — Last week, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) honored Jackson County High School seniors Colton and Mattox Couch during a signing ceremony celebrating their appointments to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA). Rep. Clyde proudly nominated the Couch twins for the prestigious appointments.

On Friday, Jackson County High School hosted family, classmates, friends, and school leaders to recognize Colton and Mattox Couch’s achievements and commitment to military service. After delivering remarks highlighting their accomplishments, Congressman Clyde presented Colton and Mattox with Congressional Certificates of Congratulations and Pledges of Commitment for signature.

“Colton and Mattox are two incredibly driven, patriotic, and gifted young men,” said Clyde. “I’m confident the Couch twins’ leadership skills, work ethic, and intellect will make them top-notch midshipmen at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Just like with their studies, sports, and extracurricular activities, I’m confident they’ll make lasting memories as they embark on this journey together. I wish them both the best of luck at Kings Point and in their future service!”

Rep. Clyde Votes for Northeast Georgia Farmers, Supports 2026 Farm Bill

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) released the following statement after the House passed H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, commonly known as the Farm Bill, by a vote of 224-200:

“After three years of Farm Bill extensions, Washington owes our farmers, ranchers, and producers the stability needed to continue feeding, clothing, and fueling our great nation,” said Clyde. “Therefore, I proudly voted for the 2026 Farm Bill to deliver the relief and support our farmers throughout Northeast Georgia and across America deserve. From bolstering crop insurance and food security to investing in rural broadband and export programs, this legislation ensures American agriculture remains the greatest in the world.”

Background

The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 reauthorizes and improves programs administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through 2031.

The 2026 Farm Bill:

Strengthens commodity programs, crop insurance, and rural development tools that stabilize farm income and food supply chains
Shifts food aid toward U.S.-grown commodities and moves authority to USDA, prioritizing domestic producers
Includes provisions on foreign ownership of farmland and strengthens domestic production capacity
Emphasizes work, diet quality, fraud reduction, and administrative oversight in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Supports farmers and agriculture producers who are currently struggling due to ongoing supply chain disruptions by updating and reauthorizing agriculture programs

A few GA-09 specific provisions include:

Prohibits school lunch program from purchasing poultry products from China
Allows SNAP beneficiaries to purchase hot rotisserie chicken – an affordable, nutritious option currently prohibited for SNAP users
Increases funding for export promotion programs
Designates the U.S. National Poultry Research Center of USDA located in Athens, GA as the U.S. Abit Massey National Poultry Research Center. Last year, Rep. Clyde cosponsored Rep. Buddy Carter’s bill to name the USDA facility after the Gainesville poultry icon. Learn more HERE.

Numerous GA organizations support the legislation, including AgGeorgia Farm Credit, Georgia Agribusiness Council, Georgia Association of Conservation Districts, Georgia Corn Growers Association, Georgia Cotton Commission, Georgia Farm Bureau, Georgia Green Industry Association, and the Georgia Soybean Association.

Rep. Clyde Honors Hiawassee Couple as Special Georgians of the Ninth

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

GAINESVILLE, GA — Over the weekend, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) recognized World War II veteran Jim Rittenhouse and his wife, Jean, as Special Georgians of the Ninth in honor of his remarkable service and their storied legacy.

At 18-years-old, Jim joined the U.S. Army to serve in WWII, fighting in both Austria and Germany. He selflessly braved the horrors of war — a sacrifice that was properly honored with a Purple Heart.

Jim also recently reached two major milestones. On March 31st, he celebrated his 100th birthday, and on April 16th, he rang in 80 years of marriage with his wife, Jean. The inspiring achievement places the Rittenhouses among the longest married couples in Georgia history — potentially even its record holders. Together, they share five children, seven grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

On Saturday, Congressman Clyde visited the Rittenhouses in Hiawassee, where he congratulated them both on their record-breaking marriage. After thanking Jim for his courageous service, Rep. Clyde presented him with an American flag flown over the U.S. Capitol Building in his honor and a Special Georgian of the Ninth Certificate. The Congressman also presented Jean with a Special Georgian of the Ninth Certificate to commemorate the couple’s 80th wedding anniversary and her upcoming 100th birthday.

“Jim Rittenhouse is a shining example of America’s ‘Greatest Generation,’” said Clyde. “From his valiant, selfless service to his record-breaking, unshakable marriage, Mr. Rittenhouse has consistently embodied an exceptional commitment to faith, family, and freedom. For over eight decades, he and Jean have shared a special bond and extraordinary love story — serving as a moving example for generations of Georgians. I’m deeply honored to recognize both Jim and Jean as Special Georgians of the Ninth, and I’m confident folks throughout Northeast Georgia and beyond will be inspired by their legendary legacy.”

Background

Throughout the year, Rep. Clyde recognizes a Special Georgian of the Ninth to honor constituents, businesses, or organizations for making a difference in North Georgia.

Rep. Clyde Secures Key Commitment for Northeast Georgia Broadband Expansion Project

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Last week, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) secured a commitment from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that cooperatives regulated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), such as Blue Ridge Mountain Electric Membership Corporation (BRMEMC), are exempt from a National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) mandate causing legal and financial barriers to a critical broadband expansion project in Georgia’s Ninth District.

The NTIA awarded $3.8 million in Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program funding to Blue Ridge Mountain EMC for connecting 3,700 hard-to-reach households in Northeast Georgia with fiber broadband — which is part of a larger $13.1 million project investment by BRMEMC and its members.

However, on January 12th, the NTIA quietly added new language to the BEAD General Terms and Conditions requiring all electric cooperative subgrantees to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pole attachment rules, rates, and timelines — not just in BEAD-funded areas, but across their entire service footprint. This last-minute rule change created serious legal and financial problems for BRMEMC and cooperatives like it nationwide.

Yet the mandate directly conflicts with Section 224 of the Communications Act, under which Congress explicitly exempted electric cooperatives from FCC pole attachment rules. More critically for BRMEMC, the cooperative is served and regulated by the TVA, which governs pole attachment rates for all 153 TVA-served local power companies using a standardized, valley-wide methodology. In other words, complying with the NTIA mandate would have forced BRMEMC into direct conflict with its own congressionally authorized federal regulator — an impossible position for the cooperative to accept.

Therefore, during the House Appropriations Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee’s recent budget hearing for the Department of Commerce, Rep. Clyde secured a commitment from Secretary Lutnick that Blue Ridge Mountain EMC is exempt from the NTIA’s FCC pole attachment rules.

Watch the exchange HERE.

“Improving and expanding access to reliable, high-speed internet is critically important, especially for families, students, workers, and businesses in Northeast Georgia,” said Clyde. “I commend Blue Ridge Mountain EMC for investing in broadband expansion in our communities, and I thank Secretary Lutnick for providing the commitment and clarity needed for BRMEMC’s project to move forward.”

“We are exceedingly thankful to Congressman Clyde and his staff for their leadership and assistance in securing necessary clarity on this broadband funding issue through his questions to Commerce Secretary Lutnick at last week’s House Appropriations Budget Committee hearing. Thanks to his work, Blue Ridge Mountain EMC looks forward to utilizing BEAD funds to continue its expansion of world-class fiber broadband service in north Georgia,” said Alex King, Director of Fiber, Blue Ridge Mountain EMC.

Rep. Clyde Fights for Lawrenceville Post Office Relocation in FY27 Appropriations Process

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) secured language urging the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to coordinate with the City of Lawrenceville to relocate its downtown post office through the ongoing Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) appropriations process.

On April 22nd, the House Appropriations Committee approved the FY27 Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) appropriations bill by a vote of 34-28. Due to Rep. Clyde’s efforts, the bill report includes the following language:

Lawrenceville Post Office Relocation – The Committee is concerned with the United States Postal Service’s refusal to cooperate with the city of Lawrenceville in its efforts to relocate the post office located at 121 E Crogan St, Lawrenceville, GA 30046, to a more suitable location. The location places significant strain on the one-way street where it is located, creating congestion and limiting accessibility to not only the post office branch itself, but also to surrounding businesses. The Committee understands that the city has indicated a willingness to take measures aimed at reducing or eliminating cost burdens on the USPS in identifying, purchasing, constructing, and equipping a new facility. The Committee urges USPS to coordinate with the city in identifying a more beneficial location for this post office and in finding methods to facilitate a move at the lowest possible cost to the USPS.

“The U.S. Postal Service’s lack of coordination with the City of Lawrenceville and disregard for the local community’s needs are completely unacceptable,” said Clyde. “Last week, I committed to help Mayor Still and City Manager Warbington with this deeply frustrating matter. This report language marks an effective first step as we work toward securing a beneficial relocation from the USPS. I will continue using every tool at my disposal to advocate on behalf of and obtain meaningful wins for folks throughout the Ninth District.”

“Over the past several years, the City of Lawrenceville has invested heavily in redevelopment projects in downtown Lawrenceville aimed to revitalize the area, improving walkability, and enhancing the overall experience for the community,” said Mayor David Still. “The City is fully committed to working with the United States Postal Service in identifying and supporting a suitable relocation solution in downtown Lawrenceville that serves both operational efficiency and community interests.”

Background

For years, the City of Lawrenceville has attempted to work with the USPS to relocate its downtown post office to a more suitable location, but those efforts have been repeatedly stonewalled by the Postal Service.

The current facility, located in the city center, is both inconvenient and an eyesore for residents. Since the post office serves both retail and distribution functions, the resulting traffic on its one-way street has created significant congestion and ongoing inconvenience for residents and surrounding local businesses. Meanwhile, downtown Lawrenceville has seen significant economic development in recent years, with more than $100 million in city investment in revitalization projects.

The city is prepared to do the necessary work to identify a nearby alternative site and is willing to fund relocation and construction costs. However, since discussions broke down in 2024, there has been no progress on the initiative. Despite repeated requests, the USPS continues to refuse further conversations on relocation efforts.

Last week, Congressman Clyde held a productive conversation with Lawrenceville Mayor David Still and City Manager Chuck Warbington. During the meeting, Rep. Clyde committed to take action on the matter through his work in Congress. Less than one week later, the Congressman drafted and secured language pertaining to the relocation of the East Crogan Street post office in the FY27 FGSS appropriations bill.

The FY27 FSGG appropriations bill will now head to the House floor. Additional resources on the Committee’s legislative activity on this annual spending bill are available HERE.

Rep. Clyde Introduces Bill to Repeal Backdoor Amnesty

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) introduced the Territorial Protection and Sovereignty (TPS) Act to repeal Temporary Protected Status (TPS) authority, closing a widely abused amnesty loophole.

The legislation would repeal Temporary Protected Status, terminate existing TPS designations, and direct TPS holders to depart the United States — as they would no longer be considered lawfully present. Therefore, all TPS holders would be eligible for deportation.

“Unfortunately, there has never been anything temporary about Temporary Protected Status,” said Clyde. “TPS has been weaponized and abused for decades, turning a so-called ‘temporary’ protection into permanent amnesty. It’s time for Congress to close this amnesty loophole once and for all by fully repealing TPS and sending all TPS holders out of the country.”

“Proponents of TPS claim the designation is both compassionate and essential to our economy. In reality, America is not a charity or an international economic zone. Our entire focus must be on the safety, prosperity, and futures of American citizens, which is why shutting down America Last immigration policies like TPS is critically important,” Clyde continued.

Bill text is available HERE.

Read the Daily Caller’s exclusive on the legislation HERE.

Original cosponsors include (4): Representatives Buddy Carter (GA-01), Randy Fine (FL-06), Nancy Mace (SC-01), and Troy Nehls (TX-22).

The TPS Act is supported by the Immigration Accountability Project and NumbersUSA.

“Temporary Protected Status was only ever intended to be used in limited circumstances, but like humanitarian parole, it has become a system that has been fundamentally abused to grant work authorization to countless illegal aliens. Congress should reclaim its plenary power over immigration, starting with TPS. The Immigration Accountability Project is thankful to Congressman Clyde for this bold legislation,” said Grant Newman, Director of Government Relations, Immigration Accountability Project.

“Temporary Protective Status has become nothing more than permanent backdoor amnesty for over one million migrants. The Trump Administration has been working valiantly to end the abuse of TPS to only be stymied by activist judges and the open borders caucus in Congress. NumbersUSA thanks Congressman Clyde for his leadership to end backdoor amnesty,” said Michael Hough, Co-President, NumbersUSA.

Background

Congress established Temporary Protected Status through the 1990 Immigration Act. The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to the following temporary conditions:

Ongoing armed conflict (such as civil war)
An environmental disaster (such as earthquake or hurricane), or an epidemic
Other extraordinary and temporary conditions

During a designated period, TPS holders or those who are found preliminary eligible for TPS upon initial review of their case:

Are not removable from the United States
Can obtain an employment authorization document (EAD)
May be granted travel authorization

Now, over 1 million migrants living in the U.S. are either receiving or eligible for TPS. The Biden-Harris Administration drastically expanded TPS, adding countries like Ukraine, Venezuela, and Afghanistan. Additionally, the so-called “temporary” designation has effectively become a permanent status, with some countries maintaining TPS status for decades:

El Salvador: 25 years
Somalia: 34 years
Honduras: 26 years
Haiti: 16 years

The Trump Administration terminated TPS for numerous countries, an America First move facing legal challenges. While the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the termination of the Biden Administration’s 2021 TPS designation for Venezuela, other cases, like Syria and Haiti, and awaiting the Supreme Court’s decision.

Rep. Clyde Leads Call for Strong Pro-2A Attorney General

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) led over 30 of his House Republican colleagues in a letter to President Donald Trump advocating for the next U.S. Attorney General to execute key Second Amendment priorities.

The lawmakers outline a clear, actionable roadmap consisting of three critical Second Amendment priorities:

1. Immediately Cease Enforcement of Biden-Era Gun Rules and Secure Permanent — Not Temporary — Relief

2. Stop Defending Unconstitutional Gun Laws in Court

3. Rein in the ATF and Reform its Culture

Following detailed action items within these priorities — which require no new legislation, the lawmakers highlight the importance of delivering these victories to gun owners across the country.

“Mr. President, American gun owners have been some of your most loyal and enthusiastic voters. They delivered for you at the ballot box, and they deserve to see their constitutional rights respected in return. The roadmap above requires no new legislation – it only requires leadership, will-power, and a Department of Justice that is genuinely committed to your agenda rather than protecting its own institutional inaction.”

Rep. Clyde and his colleagues close by underscoring the importance of an Attorney General who is committed to restoring Americans’ Second Amendment liberties.

“The Declaration of Independence – the birth certificate of our nation – proclaims that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, among them Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and that government exists solely to secure those rights. The Second Amendment is the practical guardian of those God-given rights, ensuring that free citizens retain the ultimate means to defend their lives, their liberty, and their families. When the DOJ defends unconstitutional gun regulations and the ATF is weaponized against law-abiding Americans, the government has betrayed its founding purpose. We urge you to ensure your next Attorney General understands that restoring the Second Amendment is not merely a policy matter – it is a fulfillment of this nation's oldest and most sacred promise to its people. We stand ready to work with you and the next Attorney General to see these priorities enacted, and we are grateful for your continued commitment to the Second Amendment.”
