The moderate-liberal Democratic Congressman from Georgia lays out his priorities, if (really, more like when) he is re-elected. From the Macon Telegraph (Georgia): "Bishop says he would continue
pushing hard for funding agricultural research. There are many
federally funded research stations in Georgia, and it’s their work that
can keep American products internationally competitive through high
quality, he said. Bishop said he supports school lunch and other
food assistance programs for the young, poor and elderly. But his seat
on the military construction subcommittee give him a special advantage
in steering the district’s many military bases through rounds of the
Base Realignment and Closing process, he said. 'I am proud to say
that we had $3.5 billion of military construction at Fort Benning alone,
as a result of that BRAC [Base Realignment & Closure] process and reorganization,' Bishop said."
