During their time in D.C., Adam (Emory University), Braden (University of Georgia), Lydia (University of North Georgia), and Russell (Clemson University) performed vital duties; such as, constituent tours of the U.S. Capitol, answering phone calls, attending committee hearings, and many other tasks crucial to the day-to-day operations of the office.

Press Release of the Week [1 of 2]: Rep. Loudermilk Introduces Religious Freedom Resolution
|
|
| |
Rep. Loudermilk has issued the following statement after introducing the Religious Freedom Resolution, H.Con.Res. 126:
“Religious persecution has been present throughout history, and was one of the prevalent factors that led our founders to declare independence from England. It is naïve to think that it could never reappear in America, which is why it’s imperative that the United States continue to acknowledge the importance of our religious freedom. Our founders were branded as traitors, imprisoned, and faced execution for their dedication to freedom, but they were willing to give their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor so future generations of Americans could live in freedom. To this day, people from around the world seek our shores as they flee religious persecution. I want to thank my colleagues for supporting this resolution, and reaffirming what our founders fought and died for. May the United States always be the land of the free.”

Press Release of the Week [2 of 2]: BUILD Act Passes Committee with Unanimous Vote
|
|
| |
Rep. Loudermilk issued the following statement after the House Financial Services Committee unanimously passed his bill, the Building Up Independent Lives and Dreams (BUILD) Act, H.R. 5953:
“My BUILD Act cuts government red-tape by eliminating duplicative and overly burdensome regulations placed on charities by the Dodd-Frank Act. While some disagree with my work on reducing regulations, it’s clear that when it comes to helping those in need, my colleagues on both sides of the aisle agree. These nonprofit organizations operate under different business models than traditional financial institutions, and should be afforded a simpler, more streamlined method for providing mortgage disclosures. Nonprofits deserve this relief, and I urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to move quickly on this bipartisan bill so we can get it to the president’s desk.”
The BUILD Act received strong support on both sides of the aisle and passed out of the House Financial Services Committee by a unanimous vote of 53-0.
