The incumbent and the endorsee in Louisiana’s U.S. Senate race qualified for the ballot on the third and final day of qualifying. Julia Letlow touted her work in the U.S. House, particularly working with the Trump administration with border security.
“I went to the border. I saw how many people were making that treacherous journey, that was
initiated by President Biden’s administration. No longer!” Letlow declared.
Letlow also touted her education credentials and her work in reforming the education system in this country.
“For far too long, the locus of control has been in the federal government. Working with President Trump, we have been able to take that control back away from the federal government, bringing it back to the states,” Letlow said.
Cassidy also touted his record. Louisiana’s senior senator said he was instrumental in the passage of the infrastructure bill that provided billions of dollars towards roads, bridges, high speed internet expansion and water projects.
“I have delivered on the Infrastructure Investment in Jobs Act, which has brought over $13 billion to our state and, along the way, created some pretty good-paying jobs,” Cassidy said.
Like Letlow, Cassidy also touted his record on border security, including the fight against the drugs that are coming into the U.S. from Mexico.
“I worked with the president to pass my bill, the Halt Fentanyl Act, giving law enforcement one more tool to push back upon the cartels that are bringing in fentanyl that addict and kill our children,” Cassidy noted.
The lone Democrat candidate to qualify is Ferriday’s Jamie Davis.
