Rep. Loudermilk Co-sponsored the Following Legislation and Signed on to Offical Letters

H.Con.Res. 3, Expressing support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration on Promoting Women's Health and Strengthening the Family and urging that the United States rejoin this historic declaration.
 - In the past, multinational organizations, and agencies (including the U.S. government under the Biden Administration, the E.U. and U.N.) have threatened the sovereignty of independent nations, creating policies and regulations to promote radical, liberal ideologies in areas such as women’s health, the nuclear family, abortion, and human rights.
 - The Geneva Consensus Declaration is an international coalition that explicitly affirms the right to life of the unborn, the family’s foundational role in society, the importance of genuine women’s healthcare (without redefining it as ‘reproductive healthcare’), and the principle of national sovereignty, countering ideological globalism.
 - The Geneva Consensus Declaration (GCD) was initiated by the first Trump Administration. However, in 2021, President Biden removed the U.S. from the declaration.

H.R. 1932, Pay Our Troops Act of 2025.

- This bill ensures all service members, including U.S. Coast Guard, would continue to receive pay in the event of a government shutdown.

 - Mandates the creation of the Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center within Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) at the Department of Homeland Security to:
 - Coordinate federal, state and local law enforcement efforts against organized retail crime
 - Partner with private industry to share threat information and collaborate on investigations
 - Track trends and issue annual public reports
 - Review and optimize grant programs and training to enhance enforcement
 - Issue a report to Congress on its progress and will sunset after seven years unless extended

 

H.R. 45 – FIND Act (Rep. Bergman, R-MI)

 - Prohibits corporate entities from profiting from taxpayer-funded federal contracts while discriminating against firearm manufacturers, associations, and FFLs.
 - Rep. Loudermilk previously cosponsored this legislation.
 
H.R. 1773 – FFL Protection Act (Rep. Rutherford, R-FL)
 - Modifies federal criminal penalties for an offense involving theft of a firearm from an FFL or manufacturer.
 - Increases the maximum prison term from 10 to 20 years and creates a 3-5 year minimum mandatory sentence for an offense that occurs during the commission of a burglary or robbery.
 - Rep. Loudermilk previously cosponsored this legislation.
 
H.R. 2033  - Military Spouse Hiring Act (Rep. Beyer, D-VA)
 - Adds military spouses as a qualified group for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, which provides a tax credit to companies that hire and retain qualified groups.
 - Current WOTC groups – Qualified veterans, ex-felons, SNAP recipients, SSI recipients, long-term unemployment, and others.
 - Military spouse unemployment remains around 20% and their workforce participation rate is 69%.
 - Rep. Loudermilk previously cosponsored this legislation.

 

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) letter to President Trump regarding Iran’s attendance at the UN General Assembly.
 - The letter urges President Trump restrict the Iranian delegation’s movements in NYC during the 2025 UN General Assembly and consider not issuing visas to certain Iranian leaders, including Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

 

Rep. Loudermilk letter to AG Pam Bondi supporting an application from Cobb County PD.

  - Application for grant funding from Law Enforcement Mental Health & Wellness Program.

 - Grant funding would ensure CCPD receive proper mental health screenings & coordinate with KSU to tailor mental health screening tools specific to the department.

 

Letter to Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Pulte regarding implementation of the Credit Score Competition Act
 - The Credit Score Competition Act was signed into law as a part of S.2155 in 2018. The legislation gave the FHFA some flexibility to establish standards and criteria for validating new credit scoring models for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 2022, the FHFA announced the validation and approval of two new applicant models—the FICO 10T and VantageScore 4.0. 
 - This letter is asking Director Pulte to continue working towards completing the FHFA’s review process and fully implementing the Credit Score Competition Act. This would allow for the inclusion of alternative data—like rent, utility and telecom bill payments—into credit scoring models used by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It was President Trump who first signed this legislation into law in 2018. Yet, over seven years since its enactment, American consumers have been stuck using a single outdated credit scoring model.
