Touring Southwire in Coffee County

Our district is home to many businesses that influence our entire nation, and last week, I went over to Douglas to tour Southwire.

Nearly one in two new homes built in the United States contains wire from Southwire, and they produce half of the cable used to transmit and distribute electricity throughout the country.

Supporting American manufacturing and energy industries is a priority for me in Congress, and I am proud to represent the hardworking people at Southwire.

Demanding Border Security

President Biden’s border policies have caused a national security crisis in our backyard, and it is far past time for him to secure the border and prioritize the safety of Americans.

I joined the Georgia GOP delegation in sending a letter to Biden in response to his failed policies and the death of Laken Riley.

Fox News | 'House GOP lawmakers from Georgia blame Biden's 'disastrous' border policies for murder of Laken Riley

"Republican lawmakers from Georgia are blaming President Biden’s 'disastrous' border and immigration policies for the murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley at the hands of an illegal migrant.

Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University, was found dead on the University of Georgia campus Thursday after her roommate reported to authorities that she had not returned home from her morning run.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., led the Georgia Republican Congressional delegation in writing a letter to President Biden on Wednesday. Fox News Digital first obtained the letter, which blasts the president for his border policies, and his reversal of those from the Trump administration, saying his actions have had 'devastating consequences,' and demands immediate action."
