If you're sick of the same results from Louisiana politicians in Washington you have to stop voting for the same candidates like the ones mentioned above. They all come off the same assembly line.


Serious intelligent people with genuine ideas on how to solve problems aren’t running for political office in Louisiana.

She sucked as a representative for her district. I am sure she will suck as a senator which is why I will vote for Fleming.

If they ran a rock with an R behind its name, I would vote for that over Cassidy. Still would never vote for a Democrat

What are the examples of this?





Also, why would the Republican Speaker of the House not align close to 100 percent with his party platform?

We got hit with a poll for her last night. Clearly gauging interest in her versus Cassidy.

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Rep. Julia Letlow announced Tuesday she is running for Sen. Bill Cassidy’s U.S. Senate seat after receiving an endorsement from President Donald Trump, according to reports.

The Advocate and the Baton Rouge Business Report reported that she announced her campaign at the Business Report’s Power Breakfast.

Trump encouraged Letlow to run on Truth Social Jan. 17, writing, “I know Julia well, have seen her tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and she is a TOTAL WINNER! A Proud Mother of two children, Julia is a wonderful person, has ALWAYS delivered for Louisiana, and would continue doing so in the United States Senate.”

After the endorsement, Cassidy said if Letlow chose to run, he would remain confident that he would win.

The campaign for Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming released the following statement after Letlow entered the race.

“According to polls of the US Senate race for 2026, the people have endorsed John Fleming to be our next Senator. Our campaign has over 200 volunteers, has placed 14,000 yard signs with over 250 personal appearances throughout the 13 months of this campaign. The people of Louisiana have made it clear that they will make a personal decision about whom they will vote for instead of voting for whom they are told. Every candidate in the US Senate race has fully supported Carbon Capture and Sequestration. Fleming stands alone in his 100% opposition to this, another climate change hoax scam.”

Wasn't Cassidy a former Dem though (supported Dukakis)? I get she's a RINO but hopefully she isn't that bad. I get what you mean though.

Blake Miguez is the best choice.

She's just a name to me, but almost anybody would be better than the Swamp Rat we have now (Not a Democrat, though).

Let the Trump arse kissing contest begin



Cassidy has already been doing this for months both online and on TV in his campaign ads.

2020-21 = votes to impeach Trump

2025-26 = "Look at this picture of me and Trump smiling together. Look at how often I voted for things Trump supported. Please re-elect me"

Cassidy
