Issue Position: Reforming Washington D.C.

Issue Position

By: Barry Loudermilk

Date: Jan. 1, 2016

Issues: Constitution Budget, Spending and Taxes Legislative Branch

Barry's first bill was aimed at eliminating waste as the Department of Homeland Security by shining a light on millions being spent to pay employees on disciplinary and administrative leave.

As a member of the Article I Project with Senator Mike Lee and seven other House and Senate members, Barry is working to restore the Article I power of the purse to Congress, and rein in runaway agencies. By working to pass laser focused reforms aimed at truly shrinking government, and gaining control of the federal budget, Barry and the members of A1P, are putting conservative ideas to work in Washington.
