Working people first. South Louisiana first. Party second.
In Louisiana’s 3rd District, most people aren’t looking for ideological fights. They want a fair shot: a paycheck that stretches, an insurance system that isn’t rigged, healthcare you can actually use, safe communities, and a government that shows up when storms hit.
Lower everyday costs. Raise take-home pay. Support Louisiana jobs — from oil and gas to small business — while investing in renewable energy to lower bills and keep our economy competitive.
Government should not control your body, your healthcare, or your personal life. I will defend individual freedom, bodily autonomy, and human dignity — for everyone.

Who lent it

Each loan as the campaign’s report through Oct 14, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
PACs and other committeesPolitical action committees and other candidates' committees. Corporations and unions cannot give directly.$5,0002.2%
The largest of the committees is listed. In all, 1 committee contribution was filed this cycle, totaling $5K. Counted from the givers' own filings, which can run above the total the campaign itself reports.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 3 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

Outside spending $820 about Day
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Dayunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
