About Richard McCormick

About

Service before self.

Dr. Rich McCormick has spent his life running toward the fights that matter. Raised by a single mother, he worked his way through school, became a Marine helicopter pilot, served in combat zones, earned his medical degree at Morehouse School of Medicine, and cared for Georgia families as an emergency room physician.

In Congress, Rich brings the same mindset to lowering costs, securing communities, strengthening America, and making Washington work for the people it serves.

As an ER doctor, Rich learned that good intentions are not enough — the patient has to get better. As a Marine pilot, he learned that accountability is not optional when lives are on the line. In Congress, he brings that same standard to Washington: practical solutions, compassion for the people affected, and measurable results.
