Rep. Loudermilk Signs on to Official Letters

Official Letters:

 

Letter to VA Secretary Doug Collins urging the VA to uphold Veteran’s surgical anesthesia care standards and end any initiative to weaken or lower anesthesia care standards. 


 - The VA’s official policy, and the policy in 46 states including Georgia, requires a physician to lead a team of CRNAs to jointly monitor patients and together provide safe anesthesia care. The VA is proposing to eliminate physician anesthesiologists from the team of doctors and replace them with a “nurse-only” model of care, even though there is no rationale for diminishing the current standards..
 - Congressman Loudermilk signed on to a similar letter last year

Letter sent by Rep. Buddy Carter to Commerce Secretary Lutnick that expressed support for Governor Kemp’s earlier request to the Department of Commerce to allow the state to manage its Atlantic Red Snapper fisheries.

 

- The Georgia Republican Delegation is writing a letter to Commerce Secretary Lutnick to express support for Governor Brian Kemp’s request for a course correction for federal fisheries management and for an Extended Fishing Permit (EFP) to allow Georgia to manage red snapper populations in the South Atlantic.

 

 - President Trump and Secretary Lutnick have begun the process of delegating more authority to states and allowing them to manage their own natural resources.

 

 - Georgia’s recreational fishing industry has suffered under stringent federal fishing regulations; federal regulations currently allow one (1) fishing day per year for red snapper in the South Atlantic.  

 

 - The letter penned by Rep. Carter urges the Department of Commerce “to work with the [Trump Administration] to cut federal red tape and grant Georgia, alongside Florida and South Carolina, the authority to manage [red snapper] fisheries.” 

 

SAVE the Date! Jobs in the Skilled Trades are in even higher demand as President Trump seeks to reindustrialize the U.S. and uplift the American worker. Many of these jobs come with great salaries and benefits. My Congressional office is hosting our 5th Annual Skilled Trades Fair in September, and we’re inviting every high school student and adult, with an interest in pursuing these fulfilling careers, to seize this incredible opportunity to network with Georgia’s top trade schools and businesses.
