The largest safety-net rollback in recent memory — over $1 trillion cut from health programs and at least $120 billion from SNAP, with new Medicaid work requirements and higher ACA premiums.

Requires DHS to detain undocumented people merely charged with or arrested for theft-related offenses — without a conviction — and lets states sue the federal government over immigration enforcement.

Constituent Access

Town Halls

Open public forums with constituents · review period 2015–2026

The finding is the absence of open in-person forums. No open public town hall by Loudermilk is documented in the review period. In May 2025, hundreds of constituents packed a Cherokee County church for a “People's Town Hall” organized in his absence.

Documented Record

  • May 1, 2025 — Cherokee County (“People's Town Hall”). Hundreds of constituents filled a church for a forum organized by the Atlanta-North Georgia Labor Council (AFL-CIO) and the Cherokee County Democrats, after organizers said “Loudermilk has been MIA for years.” With Loudermilk absent, state officials — Rep. Lisa Campbell and state Sens. Jason Esteves, Sonya Halpern, and Josh McLaurin — fielded questions in his place. No open in-person Loudermilk town hall in the review period has been documented in local press.

Verified against Georgia Public Broadcasting (May 2025). The absence finding reflects local media searches; constituents with records of an open in-person Loudermilk town hall are encouraged to submit a correction via the contact link.
