I am most passionate about policies that improve affordability, healthcare access, and economic opportunity for working families and rural communities. As a farmer and small-business owner, I have seen firsthand how rising healthcare costs, declining economic investment, and underfunded schools impact families across Louisiana. I am committed to strengthening affordable healthcare access, supporting public education and workforce training, and creating economic policies that help small businesses and farmers compete and grow.
