Get StartedFirst, I will actively recruit new employers in manufacturing, logistics, agriculture-related processing, healthcare, and technology. Learn more
Second, I will fight for small business support, because many of the best jobs are created by neighbors who open shops, farms, and local companies. I will work to expand access to capital, simplify federal programs, and connect entrepreneurs with mentoring and workforce training partnerships through community colleges, technical schools, and apprenticeship programs.

Third, I will link economic development directly to workforce training. Good-paying jobs require skills, and too often those skills are taught somewhere else. I plan to push for federal funding that ties training dollars to real hiring commitments from local employers, so that a student who starts a welding, nursing, CDL, or tech program sees a clear path to a job right here at home.

For working families, I will support programs that combine education, childcare, and job training. Learn more
Government Accountability & Public Advocacy also means being accessible. I will hold regular town halls, publish clear contact information, and respond to concerns about waste, fraud, or mismanagement. When constituents raise issues about how funds are used, I will press agencies for answers and make those responses public whenever possible. Learn more
Healthcare & Family Advocacy also means standing up for seniors who rely on Medicare, prescription coverage, and home-based services. I will work to simplify access, reduce red tape, and connect seniors with local agencies that can help them understand and use the benefits they have earned. Learn more
I will push for federal policies and funding that keep doors open, attract doctors and nurses, and expand telemedicine so that a video visit can replace a long, expensive trip when appropriate. My goal is for residents to know that urgent care, primary care, and maternal care are available within a reasonable distance of home. Learn more
Recognizing robust infrastructure as a key driver of economic growth and high-quality living for all residents, I focus on advocating for much-needed improvements in water and sewer systems, roads, bridges, drainage, housing, broadband, and more. Addressing these crucial areas, I aim to eliminate the longstanding infrastructure deficits that have hindered growth in Louisiana's 5th Congressional District. Learn more
