Faith and Family Values
A physician and father of three, Dr. Cassidy supports Louisiana’s traditional family values. Faith and religion have played a vital role throughout the United States’ history, and it is important that this is recognized and respected. Our Founders were men and women of strong convictions. Their intent and vision was for America to be a place where individuals could practice their religion and express their beliefs freely and openly. This visionis codified in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Dr. Cassidy strongly supports the right to life, and will defend the rights of the unborn in the House of Representatives. The United States is a compassionate country, founded on respect for certain inalienable rights, including the right to life.
Dr. Cassidy is also concerned about activist judges who thwart the will of the people by overturning state and federal marriage laws, and he will work to ensure that this issue remains in the jurisdiction of the states. The state constitution of Louisiana states that marriage shall consist only of one man and one woman. This should not be redefined by federal judges.
