Former West Point Mayor and current Georgia Congressman Drew Furguson recently announced that he will be retiring from Congress. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Upon the conclusion of the 118th Congress, I will be retiring from the House of Representatives. Serving the wonderful constituents of Georgia’s Third District has been the honor of a lifetime. I have been blessed to have worked with such a talented and dedicated staff in my District and D.C. offices.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Serving on the Ways and Means Committee has allowed me to focus on tax, trade, and healthcare – issues important to American competitiveness on the global stage. I’ve also been proud to advance policies addressing antimicrobial resistance and the battle we are facing with a mental health crisis. I was also honored to serve in House leadership as the Chief Deputy Whip.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Georgia is truly a special place, and it’s calling us home. Julie and I look forward to spending more time with our children and grandchildren while continuing to work to keep Georgia the best state in America to live and do business”, said <\/span>Ferguson in a social media post. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
