Buddy Carter, a U.S. Congressman representing Georgia’s 1st district since 2015, has recently posted a series of statements on social media addressing healthcare and public spending issues.
On July 23, 2025, Carter expressed gratitude to podcast host Joe Rogan for raising concerns about UnitedHealth: “Thank you, @joerogan @joeroganhq, for exposing UnitedHealth. I’ve been pushing this fight in Congress for years. Learn more here https://t.co/B5sgg1uqo4 https://t.co/GnWr1sNnvN”.
Later that day, Carter published another post: “We’re on a roll, America! https://t.co/3QYMpWCZxa”.
On July 24, 2025, Carter commented on the spending by MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority): “MARTA spent nearly $1M on DEI in FY25—including a recruitment trip to Puerto Rico. Tax dollars should go to safety and maintenance, not waste. Georgians deserve better, ESPECIALLY ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. #wokewaste https://t.co/RD9YngG8bA”.
Buddy Carter has served as Georgia’s representative in Congress since succeeding Jack Kingston in 2015.
