Congressman Fuller Introduces a Bipartisan Southeastern PFAS Caucus

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, Congressman Fuller announced the creation of a bipartisan coalition with the goal of combatting PFAS pollution that has greaty affected GA-14. 

Residents throughout Northwest Georgia, particularly in Dalton and Rocky Face, have faced long-term exposure to PFAS contamination, making cleanup and remediation a critical priority for the region.

“At 31 years old, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which I believe may have been linked to environmental issues in the North Georgia community where I grew up. This issue is deeply personal to me. PFAS eradication and cleanup is one of the most pressing issues for our district and our people. I have been fighting to solve this issue since arriving in Congress, and one important step in that fight is building a bipartisan coalition. I appreciate my colleagues, Congresswoman Laurel Lee (FL-15), Congressman Brian Mast (FL-12), Congressman Darren Soto (FL-09), and Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02), for being founding members of the Southeastern PFAS Caucus and for banding together to find solutions and secure funding for the needed cleanup.” — Congressman Clay Fuller

Congressman Fuller encourages his colleagues to join the bipartisan Southeastern PFAS Caucus and work together to address PFAS pollution affecting communities across nearly all 50 states.
