Overview
- Loudermilk announced he will serve out his current term but not run for a seventh, ending a House tenure that began in 2015.
- The northwest Georgia district, which spans parts of the Atlanta metro area, is widely rated strongly Republican and is expected to stay in GOP hands.
- He currently leads a House Judiciary select subcommittee examining remaining questions about Jan. 6 after previously criticizing the Democratic-led investigation.
- The Jan. 6 panel briefly scrutinized a Jan. 5, 2021 tour he led, which U.S. Capitol Police concluded was not suspicious.
- His departure adds to a growing wave of House exits and follows other Georgia shifts, including Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation and Reps. Buddy Carter and Mike Collins pursuing the GOP Senate nomination.
