As someone who lives in Julia Letlow’s congressional district, I’ve been consistently disappointed by her performance in office. Over the years, I’ve contacted her office multiple times about issues that matter to me, including the SAVE Act and expanding access to medications. In return, I’ve received little more than a generic message or no response at all.

What stands out most is the contrast between Letlow and other elected officials. I didn’t always agree with Senator Bill Cassidy, but his office at least took the time to respond. When I reached out to John Fleming’s campaign with questions, I was connected directly with his campaign manager and had a substantive conversation for more than 20 minutes.

By comparison, I contacted Letlow’s campaign multiple times during the primary with six straightforward questions about her positions and priorities. Despite repeated attempts, none of those questions were answered. For someone seeking higher office, that lack of transparency and accessibility is concerning.

Meanwhile, taxpayers continue to receive a steady stream of taxpayer-funded mailers promoting her work. Yet many constituents are left wondering what tangible accomplishments besides Trump's endorsement justify that self-promotion. When you endorse war mongering RINO figs like Lidsay Gram what does your endorsement even mean?

Most troubling is that Letlow has shown little willingness to answer tough questions or participate in meaningful public debate while running for senator. If we reward her behavior, we shouldn't be surprised if we end up with more of the same for the next 20- 30 years to come. We would probably be better off with her resigning and having Jeff Landry appoint himself. This is our chance to send this b**ch packing.

Why expose yourself to potential faux pas' when you don't have to. It's Politics 101

She's running some gutter-level ads against Fleming. I haven't seen any recent polls, but I hope he can pull it out.

He's not perfect, either, but I think he's better than her. Besides, Father Time has relegated him to being a term-limited Senator if he wins. Probably one term, but certainly no more than two.

You should have called Ledlow’s PAC. They do all of her talking.

Her straight up dishonest ads make me never want to see her again. If you sling mud you are trying to make the other person appear dirtier than yourself.

Fleming isn't my favorite but better than her by a mile

I used to be in her district before things got redrawn during the last cycle, and that was my exact experience when trying to contact her or her office on any concerns I had.

Plain and simple she is there to collect a check from lobbyists and taxpayers. If she gets in it will be a PITA to root her out for some time.

He spent $10 million betting on himself and his campaign is desperate and broke. He bet the house on paying the anti CCS crowd, and their endorsement of him at each one of their little half truths townhalls.

Fleming isn't within striking distance. He was severely disappointed with his share of the primary vote. If he had someone offer to make him whole, as in put up $10 million, he would have more than likely bowed out after the primary.

You sit around and call politicians all day?

Do you volunteer for Fleming campaign or do you get paid as a “strategist”?

Fleming for me, If she were truly maga she'd get my vote, she's no better than Cassidy

I don't believe I have seen...or even heard...a single ad that she actually speaks in.

I find that odd.

You are running for US Semate. You are asking the people of Louisiana to vote for you to represent them, yet you think so low of them that they aren’t entitled to hear you speak on what your convictions are because they might learn too much about you and not support you.

You people are a fricking joke. The Letlow campaign is an embarrassment. I can’t believe she is likely going to win. We endorse this bullshite political attitude when we allow it to succeed. This is why we get Republicans Congresses and executive branches that achieve very little for Republican voters. We let phonies and opportunists get away with not even being willing to speak because they might get exposed. Pathetic.

I love the justification that it’s “politics 101” as if bringing up sleazy corrupt political tactics justifies it or doesn’t expose her for the opportunist she is who actually gives zero fricks about LA’s conservative voters. She’ll trick you into voting for her before she’ll let you thoroughly evaluate whether she actually represents your ideals and interests.

Go listen to her speak. That’s why. She is a total phony who is in way over her head. We have 100 senators, that’s it. We are wasting a spot on hot air who is interested in career advancement. She’ll be run by a staff who does someone else’s bidding and based on her age, she’ll likely hold the seat for an eternity.

This country is at a crossroads and a reckoning and we are putting in people with no proven record who are scared to even be scrutinized by their own party voters. Who openly folded to left wing intimidation when we needed resistance.

Her ads against Fleming are out and out lies. Don't like her at all.
