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.
While the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provided significant tax relief for millions of Americans and businesses and stimulated the sluggish economy, we must continue to fight for an innovative tax system; such as the Simple Tax or the Fair Tax, that doesn’t punish hard work and success.
The Obama Administration’s IRS scandal testifies to how out of control the federal government has become. This abuse of power is perpetuated by a convoluted tax code that redistributes wealth and punishes individual achievement and places the full burden of funding the government on hardworking Americans.
True tax reform can only be achieved by innovative reforms that abolish the IRS and the current system of taxing wages, and replaces it with a simpler and equitable tax system such as the Simple Tax or the Fair Tax.
