Unless you believe Cleo Fields would be a better congressman

Try to keep up

We are getting a 2nd black congressman. Obamas appointed judge will see to that. You have to kick the challenge down the road when Biden is gone

So it comes down to Letlow or Graves. Letlow is better to keep than RINO Graves

No. Letlow has almost zero seniority. The House of Representatives bases all committee assignments on seniority.

Graves is on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (a much desired committee to be on) which is why Louisiana has been getting some hefty Federal funding for infrastructure projects including flood control and hurricane coastal protection.

He is also on the House Natural Resources Committee and its Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee and the Water, Wildlife and Fisheries Subcommittee. So he has strong input into any federal law changes affecting the oil and gas extraction industry and/or the water and wildlife and fisheries industries, not that any of those are important to a state like Louisiana...

Maybe YOU should try to keep up rather than being a lemming whose only concern is if a politician is a fire-breathing MAGA-cult fanatic. (And I contributed $1,500 to Trump's reelection PAC in 2020, so, yes, I support Trump, too, but not at the expense of what's best for Louisiana.)

ETA: And for my contribution to Trump's PAC I got a "free" red MAGA hat and in December I received this Christmas card from The Donald, Melania and Barron...

You need to keep up.

The new sixth district didn’t have to include Cleo Fields. They could have drawn a minority district without including Fields.

If you look the new sixth has a weird “peninsula” that includes precincts along Bayou Manchac east to included the precinct Fields lives in. That wasn’t necessary to make a minority district.

It appears the politicians just didn’t exclude Graves, they included Fields. Looks to me like a Quid pro quo.
