Welcoming the LSU Lady Tigers to the Capitol

As a proud LSU alum who bleeds purple and gold, I was honored to lead our Congressional delegation in welcoming Coach Kim Mulkey and our national champion Lady Tigers to the Capitol to celebrate their magical season that resulted in our first NCAA basketball title.

This historic team captured the imagination of Louisiana and the entire Nation when they shattered NCAA records as the highest-scoring women’s team in the most-watched women’s basketball championship game in history. The U.S. Capitol looks great in LSU purple and gold in their honor - Geaux Tigers!

Halting the Flow of Fentanyl

Every day in America, over 150 young people die from fentanyl and other related overdoses. This is a national scandal that can be stopped. 

Earlier this week, I voted in support of the HALT Fentanyl Act to give our law enforcement more tools to keep this drug out of our country. This legislation is critically important in our fight to stop the flow of this deadly drug and its synthetics into the United States.

Supporting Our Maritime Industry

From the Mississippi River down to Port Fourchon, the maritime industry in Southeast Louisiana builds ships to protect our men and women in uniform, moves essential manufactured goods and supports offshore energy exploration and production to meet the needs of our entire nation and allies abroad.

Recently, I was honored to receive the Maritime Leadership Award from the Shipbuilders Council of America. I will continue to fight for common sense policies that reduce red tape for our maritime industry and keep these high-skilled, high-paying jobs in Louisiana.

It is an honor to represent you in Congress. For more information, please visit my website, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.

God Bless
