Barry Dean Loudermilk (/ˈlaʊdərˌmɪlk/ LOW-dər-MILK; born December 22, 1963) is an American politician from the state of Georgia who has been the United States House representative from Georgia's 11th congressional district since 2015. Prior to this, Loudermilk served in the Georgia House of Representatives (2005–2010) and the Georgia Senate (2011–2013). He stepped down from the Georgia Senate to run for Phil Gingrey's congressional seat in the 11th district; Gingrey ran for a U.S. Senate seat.
Loudermilk won the Republican nomination for the House seat in a 2014 runoff against Bob Barr.[4] In that race, The Almanac of American Politics stated Loudermilk took a "sharp anti-establishment turn."[5] After a couple years of being in the U.S. House of Representatives, Loudermilk dropped his membership in the "anti-leadership" Freedom Caucus and became increasingly involved in the "more leadership oriented Republican Study Committee."[6]
Georgia's 11th congressional district is located northwest of Atlanta and is Republican-favoring.[6] The Almanac has stated that a Democrat with a strong base in populous Cobb County could result in a competitive race.[6] From 2014 to present, Loudermilk has been re-elected to successive biennial terms.
