Get StartedHunger doesn’t just hurt kids’ health, it makes it harder for them to learn. No child in America should go hungry at school. We must guarantee breakfast and lunch for every child, every day. Learn more
Federal cuts have reduced staff and resources at NOAA and the National Weather Service, making communities more vulnerable. Strong weather services save lives and protect property. We must restore and strengthen them. Learn more
We support using federal and state funding to open USDA fresh food stores in both rural and urban communities. Paired with SNAP benefits, these stores will help families put healthy food on the table and keep money in the local economy by supporting small and regional farms and ranches. Learn more
We support national standards to end partisan gerrymandering and protect voting rights. That means fair maps, automatic registration, and restored protections under the Voting Rights Act. When many residents live in poverty or face food insecurity, their voices should matter, not be carved up to protect incumbents and special interests. Organized people have the power to beat organized money. Learn more
We will end this revolving door with lifetime bans on former members of Congress lobbying for industries they oversaw. District 4 needs lawmakers fighting for rural hospitals, schools, and farmers at home, not lobbyists. Learn more
In Louisiana, this means politicians often put corporate interests first instead of listening to the families and workers who actually live here. We must overturn Citizens United and stop dark money from controlling politics. Elections should be about the people, not the richest donors. Learn more
We support a full ban on congressional stock trading. Every member of Congress should choose between serving the people or serving their own portfolio. Learn more
We must protect Medicare and Medicaid so everyone can get care when they need it, without worrying about losing coverage or facing impossible bills. Learn more
It is time for change. Medicare for All ensures everyone can see a doctor, get medicine, and stay healthy without going into debt or skipping care. Healthcare should depend on need, not income. Learn more
Even one closure can leave an entire parish without a medical center or emergency room. That means people could die from treatable emergencies because care is too far away. We must act to keep hospitals open and protect families in every community. Learn more
We will fund and reform NFIP so insurance stays affordable and reliable. Everyone deserves protection that keeps them safe and their homes secure, even after a storm. Learn more
We need to make sure coverage is affordable and reliable so homeowners are not left unprotected after a storm. Insurance companies must be held accountable to the communities they serve. Every family deserves the peace of mind that their home and children are protected. Learn more
We need to fix our broken water systems and guarantee safe, reliable drinking water for every household. Clean water is not optional. It is a basic right. Learn more
Louisiana’s current internet speeds are far below the global average, which means our families, students, and businesses are left behind. We need to build fiber networks in rural areas and make fast, reliable internet the standard for all of Louisiana, so everyone can stay connected and thrive. Learn more
We need to rewrite the Farm Bill so it supports family farms, not just giant corporations. That means expanding local food networks, backing USDA fresh food stores, and tying federal dollars to fair pay and fair prices. Learn more
The current FMLA doesn’t guarantee paid leave, leaving families struggling. We support fair minimum standards for parental leave for both parents, plus flexible schedules. Under this plan, mothers would get at least 14 weeks of paid maternity leave. Fathers or second parents would get at least 10 paid days. After the minimum, parents could also share up to four months of general parental leave between them. Learn more
Louisiana laws have long been stacked against workers. Wages are too low, hours are cut, benefits are stripped. Leaders who put corporations first instead of workers have let this continue for too long. It doesn’t have to stay this way. Together, we can protect union rights, strengthen worker protections, and make work fair, safe, and dignified for everyone. Learn more
A living wage in Shreveport-Bossier is over 15 an hour for a single adult and over 30 an hour for a parent with one child. Many full-time workers live in poverty despite working hard every day. We can do better. The Raise the Wage Act of 2025 would raise the minimum to 17 by 2030, but that is not enough. Workers deserve a wage that rises with inflation each year, so no one has to struggle to survive. Learn more
The system encourages wage theft and unequal pay. Women and people of color are affected the most, often facing harassment and exploitation. Too many politicians have ignored these problems, leaving workers to struggle for fairness. In a district where a third of the population is African American and half are women, we must ensure a living wage for all workers. Learn more
