Bishop for Congress

Dear Friend,

Welcome to our Online Campaign Headquarters. It is an honor to be serving the 2nd District of Georgia in the United States House of Representatives and I thank the citizens of the Second District for the public trust and responsibility that you have bestowed upon me as your Congressman to work for and in your behalf.

We have kept our promise to the people of our district to utilize the political process in Washington to improve the quality of life in our area through promoting jobs and a stronger more diversified economy; a better educated population; safe and secure communities, free of crime and drugs; a clean environment; affordable, accessible health care; and a strong national defense, all within the context of a balanced budget.

We have kept our commitment during the last twelve years and would ask you to extend our contract for another two years. I believe we have a proven record of success working for you. Please allow us to continue. Georgia will always be on my mind.

With warmest personal regards, I am

Sincerly,

Sanford D. Bishop Jr.

A proposal that would provide tobacco farmers with a $9.6 billion buyout in exchange for them dropping a federal quota program that has propped up the price of the crop since the Great Depression would be an "economic shot in the arm" for hard-pressed tobacco growing communities, U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop said.

Rep. Sanford Bishop says a federal allocation of about $134.2 million to MCLB-Albany is a good indication of the base's importance.

Millings said that speaking with constituents is one of his favorite parts of the job and that he has come to believe that it is really important for constituents to maintain a close relationship with their congressman. He has been especially impressed with the amount of time that Bishop devotes to meeting and speaking with individual constituents and groups.
