US EditionGeorgia Republican Barry Loudermilk Won’t Seek Reelection to US House
Rep. Barry Loudermilk, serving since 2014, cites desire to serve differently amid a GOP wave with 50 incumbents stepping down before midterm elections.
- Wednesday, Rep. Barry Loudermilk announced he will not seek reelection, citing a desire to spend more time with his family.
- Loudermilk said `I believe it is time to contribute to my community, state, and nation in other ways` and cited more dedicated family time during his congressional service since 2015.
- He led GOP subcommittees reinvestigating Jan. 6 and was scrutinized for a Jan. 5, 2021 Capitol tour that U.S. Capitol Police found not suspicious; Loudermilk called it a `smear campaign`.
- Adding to exits, Loudermilk's move creates another open seat as four Republican-held congressional seats in Georgia will change hands this year amid fifty Republicans leaving the House.
- Analysts say experts anticipate a strong Democratic showing this year, and the Cook Political Report finds 18 out of 435 races are toss-ups.
