Featured Quote: 
With folks getting paid more to stay home than go to work, it’s no wonder Biden’s labor shortage is only getting worse. Job creators & small businesses can’t compete with enhanced federal unemployment benefits. These failed policies simply don’t work.

Drew Ferguson 1Congressman Drew Ferguson is a proud resident of West Point whose family roots in the West Georgia area are several generations deep. He attended the University of Georgia and gained early acceptance to the Medical College of Georgia. After graduating with a degree in dental medicine, he moved back to his hometown and established a successful family dental practice.

In 2008, Congressman Ferguson was elected mayor of West Point and was at the forefront of attracting and keeping jobs in his community. By lowering taxes, eliminating government barriers and reforming education, he led a community in economic ruin back to life. Today, a wide range of new businesses and industries call West Point and the surrounding area home. Led by KIA Motors, automotive suppliers and related businesses, 16,000 new jobs have been created so far. Congressman Ferguson came to Washington to apply the lessons he learned revitalizing West Point to creating policies that once again make America the most competitive place to do business.

Just as important as the creation of jobs, Congressman Ferguson wants to remove barriers that prevent those in poverty from moving into the middle class. Smart and effective welfare entitlement reform that actually helps people move ahead rather than trapping them in a cycle of poverty is the first step. Congressman Ferguson believes these problems cannot simply be regulated away, but should look for solutions that get government out of the way of American innovation growth. This is as much a moral issue as it is a practical matter.

Congressman Ferguson is the Chief Deputy Whip for House Republicans. He also serves on the Committee on Ways and Means.

District

Source: Wikipedia

Georgia’s 3rd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. The district is currently represented by Republican Drew Ferguson. The district’s boundaries have been redrawn following the 2010 census, which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia.[5] The first election using the new district boundaries (listed below) were the 2012 congressional elections.

The district is based in west-central Georgia. It includes most of the southern suburbs of Atlanta–where most of its population is located–as well as the wealthier (and more demographically Caucasian) portions of Columbus and its northern suburbs.

Wikipedia

Anderson Drew Ferguson IV[1] (born November 15, 1966) is an American politician who is the U.S. representative for Georgia’s 3rd congressional district. The district stretches from the southern suburbs of Atlanta to the northern suburbs of Columbus, including a sliver of Columbus itself.

A member of the Republican Party, Ferguson previously served as the mayor of West Point, Georgia, a city between LaGrange and Columbus.

Early life and education

Ferguson was born in Langdale, Alabama, in 1966[2] and graduated from the University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia.[3]

Career prior to Congress

Ferguson was a dentist with a family dental practice.[4] He served as an alderman for West Point, Georgia, and then as mayor from 2008 to 2016. He resigned in 2016 to focus on his race for the House of Representatives.

Elections

2016

In 2016, Ferguson ran for the Georgia third district seat, being vacated by Republican incumbent Lynn Westmoreland. He placed in the top two in the May Republican primary and faced State Senator Mike Crane in the runoff. The two had finished within 100 votes of each other;[5] both had about 27% of the vote.[4]

In the runoff, Ferguson had the support of business-oriented Republicans, including Westmoreland.[6] The primary and its runoff were expensive and bitterly contested; Super PACs and other groups outside Georgia spent more than $2 million on the race.[7]

On July 26, Ferguson defeated Crane with 54% of the vote.[8] In the November general election, Ferguson defeated Democratic nominee Angela Pendley with 68% of the vote.[9]

2018

In the May 2018 Republican primary, Ferguson faced Philip Singleton of Sharpsburg, a former Army helicopter pilot;[10] Ferguson won with 74% of the vote.[11]

In November, Ferguson defeated Democratic nominee Chuck Enderlin with 66% of the vote.[12]

Tenure

Ferguson was sworn into office on January 3, 2017.

In November 2018, after he won reelection, Ferguson was appointed chief deputy whip for the House Republican Conference by House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.[13] This post is historically a stepping stone to higher posts. For example, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and House Speakers Dennis Hastert and Kevin McCarthy once served as chief deputy whip.

On May 19, 2021, Ferguson and the other seven Republican House leaders in the 117th Congress voted against establishing a national commission to investigate the 2021 United States Capitol attack. Thirty-five House Republicans and all 217 Democrats present voted to establish the commission.[14][15]

Caucus memberships

Political positions

Running for election in 2016, Ferguson’s main issues were securing the borders, destroying the Islamic State, strengthening the military, replacing the income tax with a flat tax, repealing Obamacare, and supporting a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits.[4] He signed on to the lawsuit seeking to overturn the result of the 2020 election, one of four Georgian representatives to do so.[19][20] The Supreme Court dismissed the suit on December 11, 2020.[21]

Texas v. Pennsylvania

In December 2020, Ferguson was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden defeated[22] incumbent Donald Trump. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of an election held by another state.[23][24][25]

Abortion

Ferguson has sponsored legislation prohibiting abortion, including H.R. 20 No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act,[26] H.R. 962 Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act,[27] H.R. 784 Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act,[28] H.R. 305 Sanctity of Human Life Act,[29] and H.R. 369 Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2019.[30]

LGBT rights

In 2021, Ferguson voted against H.R. 5, the Equality Act, which would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.[31]

In response to a 2016 American Family Association survey, Ferguson indicated on a Likert scale question that he agrees with the statement “Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with public funds.”[32]

Israel

Ferguson voted to provide Israel with support following 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.[33][34]

Controversy

In February 2019, a representative from the American Federation of Government Employees sought an apology from Ferguson for a biography of Robert E. Lee that was on display in Ferguson’s office. The AFGE representative reported that the book displayed a page that detailed Lee’s pro-slavery beliefs. Ferguson’s spokeswoman relayed an apology and said the book had been removed from display.[35][36]
