Woodall Joins Repeal Task Force

The group plans to focus on finding ways to eliminate unnecessary federal laws.

A new task force is taking aim at what the group describes as “wasteful federal laws.”

Dacula’s congressional representative, Rep. Rob Woodall, is a member of the newly launched Repeal Task Force. The task force is comprised of conservative members of Congress dedicated to eliminating unnecessary laws.

The members of the group have agreed to introduce bills or offer amendments to repeal targeted laws. Task force members will also actively seek co-sponsors for repeal bills and amendments, conduct research and provide other information to facilitate repeal.
