Congressman Jody Hice was born in Atlanta and raised in Tucker, Georgia. Representative Hice graduated from Asbury University, earned his Master’s degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, as well as a Doctor of Ministry from Luther Rice College and Seminary. Congressman Hice served as pastor in three Georgia counties for almost 25 years, and went on to launch the Jody Hice Show, a conservative talk radio program. Congressman Hice and his wife of over thirty years, Dee Dee, reside in Oglethorpe County and have two daughters and four grandchildren. Congressman Hice took office in 2015 as the Representative of Georgia’s 10th Congressional District and serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and the House Natural Resources Committee. For the 117th Congress, he serves as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Government Operations for the Committee on Oversight and Reform.
To ensure the safety and security of the American people, Congressman Hice believes that the United States must remain a strong global leader and maintain a robust foreign policy. At a time where the United States faces increasingly-sophisticated threats from around the world, it is vitally important to ensure that our national security, diplomatic, and global development agencies have the resources necessary to protect the United States’ interests abroad.
This includes continuing our unwavering support for Israel, our strongest and most steadfast democratic ally in the Middle East. The United States cannot be afraid to stand up to nations like Iran who aggressively sponsor terrorism and threaten us and our allies. To that end, Congressman Hice is fundamentally opposed to the Iran Nuclear Agreement because it does not effectively prevent Iran from being able to obtain a nuclear weapon and encourages Iran to continue its destabilizing actions throughout the region.
