SHUTDOWN EXPLAINED:

Rep. Dr. Jasmine Clark @jasmineclarkforga.bsky.social · 16h

Honored to be at the Emily's List luncheon this week. Being surrounded by incredible, hardworking women is a reminder of why I got into this work in the first place — to fight for women’s rights, equality, and representation at every level of government.

Absolutely! We are barreling toward (or maybe through) authoritarianism at this point. There’s so many things happening at once!

I agree that a single payer system, like what’s used in pretty much every other part of the world, makes the most sense. But, in the meantime, I am concerned about what happens to people’s health costs if we don’t act now.

I’m so honored to have the support of @maryltrump.bsky.social. Her courage to speak truth and fight for democracy inspires me every day. Together, we'll build a country rooted in facts, compassion, and common sense.

Public service means showing up. It means coming to your community’s town hall, when your constituents want to hear from you most.

Let’s be clear: healthcare isn’t a luxury item. It’s a basic human right. If that sounds radical, you’re the problem.

As a scientist and a professor at Emory University, I’ve spent my career researching and defending facts, truth, and evidence. That’s exactly what I’ve done in the Georgia State House—and it’s what I’ll take with me to Congress.

The Affordable Care Act subsidies are the reason millions of Americans can afford health coverage. Ending them would mean higher costs and more families going uninsured. We should be expanding access, not taking it away.

It means the overwhelming majority of federal employees are no political appointees and, in fact, do not serve at the pleasure of the president.

It also means there are too many in our society that don’t actually understand who federal employees are.

The way this administration has treated federal workers is despicable. Federal workers are not the enemy and deserve better than this.

I remember this and wondered if it had an effect on your decision. It was a total sign that he didn’t care to be there for his district. As did his recent vote on that resolution last month.

When did I know it was time to run for Congress? When I invited my congressman to participate in a community town hall in February and he didn't show up — and his staffer he sent came 45 minutes late. Our community deserves answers, not absence.

Donald Trump and RFK Jr shouldn’t decide which research gets funded. Scientists should. That's why we have a peer-review process in the first place!

If Republicans get their way, over 109,000 Georgians in the district (GA-13) will see their health costs more than double or become completely unaffordable. That's why Democrats are fighting.

In 2018, nobody thought I could flip a Republican-held seat in Gwinnett County. I did it anyway. I’ll bring that same fight to Congress.

Imagine bragging about being "pro-life" while blocking healthcare for hundreds of thousands of Georgians. Couldn’t be me.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to our EOQ fundraiser last night and to all who helped us hit our goal. This people-powered campaign is only possible because of you!

RFK Jr. is denigrating our country's health and needs to go! I stand behind any efforts to remove and replace him with a real scientist.

Our End-of-Quarter fundraising deadline is TODAY! We have made so much progress, but we're not done yet. Currently, we have $10k left to reach our goal. Can you chip in $5 now?

Republicans would rather shut down the entire government and fire thousands of federal workers than protect your health care.

When you have boots on the ground and you're meeting with voters, the Republican attacks don't work. Because people know who you are. That's why we're running a people-powered campaign.

You can’t call for more research on Autism while cutting funding for research.

Each of these tragedies is a part of the same horror: lives taken too soon, communities broken. Accepting this as normal is a choice. We don't have to live this way.
