His work on the Armed Services Committee will allow for the future security of Barksdale Air Force Base, Ft. Polk/Joint Readiness Training Center, Camp Minden and other military installations, both in Northwest Louisiana and throughout the state.

John has been named a Defender of Liberty by the American Conservative Union, and is the author of House Resolution 615, legislation urging Members of Congress to participate in the same health care system they vote to impose on their constituents. House Resolution 615 has received the support of 3.8 million Americans and over 100 Members of Congress. John currently serves as Vice-Chairman of the GOP Doctors Caucus. The caucus is composed of 14 physicians who work to develop patient centered, patient-driven healthcare reforms focused on quality, access, affordability, portability, and choice.
