WALEC is honored to welcome U.S. Congressman Dr. Rich McCormick as an Honorary Advisor of WALEC.
Congressman McCormick represents Georgiaโs 7th Congressional District (GA-07) in the U.S. House of Representatives.
GA-07 is a diverse and growing part of North Georgia and the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, covering communities across six counties โ Cherokee, Dawson, Forsyth, Fulton, Hall, and Lumpkin.
The district includes communities such as Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Cu***ng, Dawsonville, Dahlonega, and portions of communities including Ball Ground, Holly Springs, Buford, Flowery Branch, Gainesville, Oakwood, and others.
Congressman McCormick brings a unique background of military service, medicine, and public service. He served approximately two decades in the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy, including service as a Marine helicopter pilot and as an emergency medicine physician in Afghanistan. He currently serves in Congress on the House Armed Services, Oversight and Government Reform, and Science, Space, and Technology Committees.
His connection to Korea is particularly meaningful to WALEC and the Korean-American community.
During his service as a U.S. Marine, Congressman McCormick trained alongside the Republic of Korea Marine Corps in Pohang, South Korea. That experience gave him firsthand exposure to Korea, its people, and the strong bond between American and Korean service members.
His understanding and appreciation of Korea and the Korean-American community make his involvement with WALEC especially meaningful.
WALEC is committed to building stronger bridges between our communities, law enforcement agencies, military leaders, and public officials, while promoting public safety, service, trust, and mutual understanding.
We sincerely thank Congressman Rich McCormick for joining WALEC and for his willingness to support our mission.
Welcome to WALEC, Congressman McCormick.
We are honored to have you with us, and we look forward to working together to serve our communities.
๐บ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ท Together in Service. Together for Community.
