Washington, January 7, 2016 | Mary Carpenter (202-834-0386)
Congressman Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (Ga-01) released the following statement today after Congressman Lynn Westmoreland (Ga-03) announced his retirement from the United States House of Representatives at the end of the 114th Congress.

“Lynn Westmoreland has worked tirelessly for more than twenty years on behalf of the people of Georgia. In the state legislature Lynn fought for those he represented. In the United States House of Representatives, Lynn continued this fight and honorably made it his mission to make our nation and world a safer place. I am grateful for Lynn’s leadership in the Georgia Delegation and I will miss my friend in the Capitol. I wish him and Joan all the best in what the future holds for their family.”
