Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (GA-01) was sworn into the 115th United States Congress today to serve his second term as the United States Representative for Georgia's First Congressional District.
"Serving the First District of Georgia has been one of the greatest honors of my life and I am excited to continue this great responsibility in the 115th Congress," Carter said. "While I am proud of the accomplishments and conservative victories delivered in the last Congress, I am ready for a new day in America with the new Congress and administration. We now have a tremendous and important opportunity to provide the leadership necessary to make government work for Georgians, and all Americans, not the other way around." During the ceremony, Carter joined his colleagues to take the oath of office on the House Floor. Later, Congressman Carter and his wife, Amy, joined Speaker Paul D. Ryan in the Capitol for a ceremonial swearing in. "This Congress, I am ready to work diligently to repair and replace our broken health care system, reform our tax code, support our job creators, rein in Washington's out of control debt, secure our border, and bolster our military and national security," Carter said. "Now it's time to get to work!" |
