Congressman Barry Loudermilk, a Constitutional Conservative, represents northwest Georgia’s 11th Congressional District.
In the 117th Congress, Congressman Loudermilk serves as a member of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, the Committee on House Administration, and the Joint Committee on the Library. He also serves as a member of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), a conservative caucus of House Republicans.
Before being elected to Congress in 2014, he was a small business owner for over 20 years. He also served in the Georgia State legislature for nine years.
Barry Loudermilk is a passionate representative of the people, who fights daily to ensure our children have a nation that is free, safe and full of opportunity. Barry believes that the best days for America are ahead of us, but only if we return to the basic values of hard work, honesty, individual liberty and respect for each other.
Barry’s father, a World War II veteran and a construction worker, impressed upon his children the idea you can change things if you stand up for what is right. “If there is something you don’t like,” his father said, “you have two choices…do something to change the situation, or just accept the status quo and go on with your life, but never just complain.” These words of wisdom inspired Barry to public service, and they’re what drives him to work to change the culture in Washington, DC.
As an Air Force veteran, Barry understands that peace comes only through effective diplomacy backed by a strong and effective military.
We live in a dangerous time, with rogue regimes that are rapidly developing nuclear weapons and terrorist organizations that are funded by foreign governments. Barry has voted to increase defense spending so our men and women in uniform will have the resources they need to defend our freedom. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and Coast Guardsmen deserve state-of-the-art weapons and equipment necessary to do their jobs.
We must also ensure that when our men and women in uniform are in action, they can be confident that their families are cared for and have the resources they need at home. Barry has fought for and supported a well-deserved pay raise for the members of our military.
National Security in the 21st century also includes the cyber battlefield, as well as in space. With over 20 years in the information technology sector, Barry understands the unique battlefield of cyberspace and is working to protect our vital intelligence and national security infrastructure, and to provide our military with the resources and training to counter these cyber threats.
