Nearly $600m in investment in Louisiana water resources is coming this year that will address our dredging, levee, flood protection and infrastructure priorities. There are some big wins in here for Louisiana, but large challenges remain. Read more:

In February, @RepTroyCarter and I asked USDA to cut bureaucratic red tape and use its existing authority to send relief to our crawfishers affected by last year's extreme heat. Today, USDA announced they were able to do what we asked. 🔗:

Folks are paying big bucks for small bugs. Last year's drought is severely affecting everyone crawfishing back home. We sent a letter with @RepTroyCarter urging the USDA to send relief now to our farmers using authority that they already have. Read more:

Last night, the House passed a bill to add a citizenship question to the census. Watch my remarks on the House Floor, where I discuss how counting noncitizens is enabling foreign interference in our elections:

Veterans and their families, like all Americans, are suffering from skyrocketing inflation caused by reckless government spending – which now delivers another punch to Capital Region Veterans who are denied the health care they deserve.

Senators Joe Manchin, Dan Sullivan and I plan to introduce a CRA on the White House's recent NEPA Phase II Rule. It veers completely off course of our goal to cut red tape in the permitting process. Read more here:

Had a great meeting with the Louisiana Fire Chiefs earlier this week. We discussed critical fire & emergency matters impacting Louisiana's brave first responders, and ways that we can help. Our communities are lucky to have such a dedicated & courageous group of first responders.

The Department of Interior oversees our energy production, but the Secretary of Interior – after 3.5 years on the job – couldn't answer a basic question about energy production timing. Perhaps this explains ridiculous energy prices.

PROTECT grants are meant increase resiliency in transportation infrastructure. Louisiana experiences the worst & most frequent natural disasters, & needs these investments the most – yet was awarded nothing by the Biden Admin. IIJA has been nothing short of a disaster for LA.

Had a great visit with members of the @LaRestAssoc today. The restaurant industry is one of the largest employers and drivers of Louisiana’s economy, and restaurants are some of the staples and great small businesses in our communities.
