Loudermilk Named Steering Member of Republican Study Committee

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk was selected to serve as a steering member of the Republican Study Committee.

The committee serves as a House Republican caucus, promoting conservative ideas and policies to limit government, rein-in out-of-control spending and protect and preserve American liberty.

Its steering members provide guidance to the RSC chairman and champion key conservative policies shaping the nation.

“It is a very special time in America - a time when we need to be more focused on making a difference than making an argument," said Rep. Loudermilk, a Georgia Republican residing in Cassville. "That’s the objective of the Republican Study Committee, so serving on the Steering Committee is a responsibility I am honored to accept. We need fresh ideas, effective reforms, and lasting changes to improve the quality of life for every American."

Loudermilk went on to say the debt shouldered by younger generations of Americans and the regulations "suffocating" businesses can't continue if policy makers want to cultivate a healthy economy.

As a member of the steering committee, the congressman noted he's ready to roll up his sleeves and begin work on shrinking the size of government and "passing on a nation that is free, safe, and full of opportunity to the next generation.”

Rep. Mark Walker, a Republican from North Carolina and chairman of the Republican Study Committee, stated Congress has a "unique opportunity" to make a positive difference in communities across the country.

"I am proud to officially name Rep. Barry Loudermilk as a member of the Republican Study Committee’s Steering Committee," he added. "He will serve as a trusted advisor as we advance pro-active, conservative policies with a genuine approach and a strong voice that addresses the challenges facing our nation. I am privileged to work with Barry, and appreciate his guidance and leadership.”
