Anderson Drew Ferguson IV[1] (born November 15, 1966) is an American politician who served as the U.S. representative for Georgia's 3rd congressional district from 2017 to 2025.
A member of the Republican Party, Ferguson previously served as the mayor of West Point, Georgia, a city between LaGrange and Columbus.
[6] The primary and its runoff were expensive and bitterly contested; Super PACs and other groups outside Georgia spent more than $2 million on the race.
On May 19, 2021, Ferguson and the other seven Republican House leaders in the 117th Congress voted against establishing a national commission to investigate the 2021 United States Capitol attack.
[14][15] For the 118th Congress:[16] Running for election in 2016, Ferguson's main issues were securing the borders, destroying the Islamic State, strengthening the military, replacing the income tax with a flat tax, repealing Obamacare, and supporting a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits.
[21] In December 2020, Ferguson was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden defeated[22] incumbent Donald Trump.
The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of an election held by another state.
[35][36] In January 2025, Ferguson joined Alston and Bird, a prominent Atlanta-based law and lobbying firm, as a senior political adviser.
