Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) on Wednesday announced he will not seek reelection, ending his congressional career after more than a decade and adding to the ranks of Republicans declining to run for another term.

Loudermilk is the 29th Republican member of the House to say they will not seek reelection in 2026 — either for retirement or to seek higher office — as Republicans brace for a tough midterm election. Loudermilk’s northern Georgia district is reliably Republican.

Loudermilk is the chair of Republicans’ Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding January 6, which he pushed with an assist from President Trump. He first joined the House in 2015.

    Interesting. Looks like he mostly endorses people that are already guaranteed to win. That tracks.
