Washington D.C. (April 27, 2016) | The American Conservative Union (ACU) recognized Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) at a ceremony held at the U.S. Capitol today for his support of legislation that advances a strong conservative agenda. Rep. Loudermilk received the Conservative Excellence Award for his 96 percent rating on the ACU’s 2015 congressional scorecard.
“Representative Barry Loudermilk is a man of strong faith, who is an effective voice for the voters of Georgia’s 11th District,” said ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp. “He understands America's founding principles enshrined in the Constitution, that the government should only do what it must, and that the American people are in charge. Whether it is defending life, supporting a strong family, strengthening our national security or fighting President Obama, Barry Loudermilk is an ally in the fight for conservative values.”
“The success of our nation – and the future of our children and grandchildren – depends upon policies that champion the principles of liberty, personal responsibility, and limited government,” said Rep. Loudermilk. “I would like to thank the ACU for this recognition, and for their steadfast commitment to preserving our constitutionally protected rights and individual liberties.”
Founded in 1964, the American Conservative Union is recognized nationwide as one of the premier organizations dedicated to promoting conservative principles such as liberty, personal responsibility, national security, and traditional values.
