Editor’s note: U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Georgia, and other area elected officials will contribute periodic columns during the upcoming legislative sessions. This is a report about orientation that he went through last week.• Wednesday, Nov. 12: After a primary, a run-off, a general election and over 19 months of campaigning, I finally arrived in Washington, D.C., for orientation for representatives-elect of the 114th Congress. I actually came up late in the afternoon Nov. 11 after participating in Savannah’s Veterans Day Parade at the invitation of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies.
