Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) hosted his first in-person town hall of 2025 to answer questions directly from constituents about how he is fighting for all Georgians amid an unprecedented first 100 days of the Trump Administration.

“Seriously, this is a scary time, and I want you to know I’m sober-minded about it and focused,” said Senator Warnock during the town hall. “Today, I won’t have all the answers to your questions, I’ll tell you that in advance, but let me just state that during this unprecedented time we must come together to fight back against the dangerous actions of this administration, this is no ordinary time.”

The conversation between Senator Warnock and some of his constituents went on for well over two hours and addressed a range of topics, including non-profit funding, the administration’s tariff policies, fired federal workers, Georgia’s failure to adopt Medicaid expansion, international conflicts, eliminating poverty, and so much more.

In answering the first question of the evening on protecting the nation’s democracy, Senator Warnock addressed some of his previous work to bolster voting rights and protect election integrity.

“What we are seeing in real time is that our democracy depends on our charter documents […] I was fighting hard to pass the John Lewis Voting Right Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act,” said Senator Warnock. “You have my commitment that as a member of the Senate, I’m holding this administration accountable, I’m dragging Trump officials in front of my committees and asking the tough questions, I’m voting down legislation that I think runs roughshod over the American people and their rights.”

Senator Warnock also hosted a virtual town hall in early March. Both events highlighted his urging not to give in to despair during these difficult times and his commitment to standing up on behalf of ordinary people in Washington, D.C. 

“We have to stand together on these issues, we have to stand up for the rule of law and for due process,” said Senator Warnock during his closing remarks.
