Press Releases

After voting to undo numerous rules and regulations issued by the current administration, Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) released the following statement:

“Overbearing government rules and regulations are killing American jobs and hurting American businesses. The average family pays nearly $15,000 in hidden regulatory fees every year; and we wonder why our economy hasn’t been working for hardworking Americans. We, in the House, took action today to undo many harmful regulations wreaking havoc on our economy. This is one of the many bold actions we are taking to rein in runaway federal agencies - whose unelected bureaucrats create laws, masked as regulations. We are gaining momentum in making real, tangible change in our country - to give our children and grandchildren a nation that is free, safe, and full of opportunity.”

Background
