Republican Rep. Rich McCormick is seeking reelection to the U.S. House in Georgia’s 7th Congressional District in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. His Democratic challenger is Tony Kozycki.
Background
McCormick’s congressional biography describes service in the Marine Corps and Navy and work as an emergency physician. It lists degrees from Oregon State University, National University and Morehouse School of Medicine.
Spending, health care and defense
His official issues page identifies lower federal spending and reduced regulatory burdens as priorities, alongside national defense and veterans’ services.
His campaign website emphasizes more affordable health care, patient protections and less bureaucracy. The overview reviewed does not supply a complete replacement health-care plan, implementation budget or quantified household savings.
The published goals do not by themselves establish which programs would be reduced or how a particular family’s premiums would change.
Authority and local effects
A representative introduces and votes on federal legislation and participates in committee oversight. A member cannot independently change federal taxes, benefits or agency spending.
For district residents, the election concerns representation in decisions affecting federal health programs, taxes, defense and other national policy. Actual effects depend on enacted laws, appropriations and agency implementation.
The Sandy Springs Record did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
