ATLANTA — At a stop Tuesday in Columbus, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock touted new legislation to boost mental health funding. A few hours later, the Georgia Democrat stood at a Sandy Springs gas station promising to blunt rising fuel prices with a temporary gas tax holiday.
Warnock likes to call himself the nation's most vulnerable Senate Democrat, the prime target of Republicans racing to take back control of the chamber. His message on the campaign trail is aimed at the state's swing voters who can help him avoid that fate.
With Congress in recess and November approaching, Warnock has supported a spate of noncontroversial measures designed to show an independent streak.
