Last night’s town hall showed the courage and the fight of Jefferson Parish and #LA02. It was my joy to share the victories we’ve had in funding crisis intervention services and criminal justice initiatives. Hearing your concerns about Trump’s policies also reminded us of the work left to do.

Prostate cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in men, with Black men twice as likely as white men to die from the disease. But that doesn’t have to be the case, and prostate cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence.

Normally, gas prices drop this time of year. Instead fuel costs are skyrocketing, due to Trump’s war in Iran, forcing many Louisianians to choose between buying baby formula and filling their gas tank. That’s a choice no family should have to make.

We’re less than 50 days from an election largely delivered by mail, and USPS FAILS to explain why delivery times continue to get slower and slower. LIVES ARE ON THE LINE! Our seniors’ medicine. Food for our babies. Roofs over our heads. This country can’t afford ballot delays come November 3rd.

USPS made mail slower to cut costs. Midterm ballots will test the system.

Rural communities are bearing more of the slowdown.

Nike and Converse, what the hell were you thinking? Your campaign shows what looks like a hooded Klansman, framed by what appears to be the dangling feet of a lynching victim. There is nothing creative or artistic about it. It is racist, reckless and deeply offensive.

Trump told Texas “Get me 5 more GOP seats”, and that began a domino effect of map redrawing and racist gerrymandering across this nation. As a result, Louisiana lost one of our Black majority districts, along with many other states.
