佐治亚州7名议员联名吁州长坎普：节前将国民警卫队从华盛顿撤回
佐治亚州参议院新闻办公室10月21日发布声明：州众议员 Sandra Scott、Viola Davis、Eric Bell、Derek Jackson、Floyd Griffin 与州参议员 Kenya Wicks、Tonya Anderson 共七名议员联名，敦促州长 Brian Kemp 在感恩节与圣诞节前，将派驻华盛顿特区的佐治亚州国民警卫队官兵撤回家中。七人均为民主党人且具陆军服役背景。
他们在声明中说，长期分离显著增加慢性压力、焦虑与临床抑郁风险，受影响的不只是官兵本人，还有留守的配偶与子女；官兵们已离家一年多，错过了无法弥补的生日、纪念日与家庭时刻。声明还提到，10月18日一名国民警卫队成员在华盛顿特区执行任务应对冲突时中枪（其所属州尚未确认），凸显街头巡逻任务的不可预测风险。
他们要求 Kemp 给出明确的撤军时间表、说明现行安全措施，并列出支持长期分离家庭心理健康与经济稳定的资源，同时要求州长在十个工作日内书面回复。声明强调：「这不是党派议题，而是家庭与健康议题。」州长办公室尚未就该声明公开回应。
Seven Georgia Lawmakers Urge Kemp to Bring National Guard Home From Washington Before the Holidays
Seven Georgia lawmakers issued a statement on October 21 through the state Senate press office urging Governor Brian Kemp to bring Georgia National Guard troops home from Washington, D.C., before Thanksgiving and Christmas. The group — State Representatives Sandra Scott, Viola Davis, Eric Bell, Derek Jackson and Floyd Griffin, and State Senators Kenya Wicks and Tonya Anderson — are all Democrats with Army service backgrounds.
Prolonged separation significantly raises the risk of chronic stress, anxiety and clinical depression, they said, affecting not only the troops but spouses and children at home; the soldiers have been away for more than a year, missing birthdays, anniversaries and family moments that cannot be recovered. The statement also cited an October 18 incident in which a Guard member was shot while responding to an altercation in Washington, noting the member's home state had not been confirmed.
The lawmakers asked Kemp for a clear withdrawal timeline, an account of current safety measures, and a list of mental-health and financial resources for separated families, with a written response within 10 business days. "This is not a partisan issue; it is a family and health issue," they said. The governor's office had not publicly responded.
