Democrats have voted 15 times to keep the government closed, abandoned working families and U.S. troops to appease the Far Left, and now forced the longest government shutdown in American history. Despite their repeated votes to halt the paychecks of federal workers and troops, Democrats continue to gaslight the American people by trying to blame this shutdown on Republicans. Click the image below to watch Speaker Johnson explain the simple truth:

Speaker Johnson's staff in Louisiana's Fourth Congressional District and Washington, D.C. is still hard at work serving our constituents. Even during the government shutdown, our office is open and available to assist. Speaker Johnson’s office has successfully returned nearly $16 million - $15,980,679 of individual benefits - to constituents since his first day in Congress. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance or have questions – we are here to help. Take a look below at some of our community outreach and engagement over the last few weeks.
