Gonna be a busy two weeks, folks.

Yesterday, the Endless Frontier Act advanced out of @CommerceDems & included two of my provisions to bolster manufacturing jobs in GA & R&D at our HBCUs & MSIs. I’m eager to support this bipartisan bill once again when it reaches the floor of the U.S. Senate. pic.twitter.com/vHsneftJXO
