I am proud of each and every day I spend representing the people of south Louisiana in the United States House of Representatives. The issues we face as a nation and as a district are important and complex. I believe that common sense and hard work will prevail as we tackle both local and national issues of interest.  Please feel free to use the resources below to research the current and past actions of Congress and don't hesitate to call or email our offices with any further questions.

Member appropriations -- sometimes referred to as "earmarks" -- al low Louisianans to bypass agency bureaucrats in Washington and go directly to their elected representatives to secure federal funding for important projects in their communities. Legislation One of my goals for this website is to provide constituents an opportunity to learn more about the legislative process and my work in Congress.
