David Perdue
The Public Record
David Perdue is a Republican politician from Georgia who served as a United States Senator from 2015 to 2021. He was elected to the Senate after defeating incumbent Democrat Michelle Nunn in the 2014 election. During his time in office, Perdue focused on issues such as economic growth, job creation, and reducing government spending. He was a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
