1 in 5 Louisianans live in poverty — the highest rate in the United States
Groceries, gas, and rent keep climbing while wages don't — and too many of our kids can't make enough money to stay in the state they grew up in. Washington keeps writing tax laws for the people who already have everything.
- 01 Bring real economic development to Louisiana communities — including good jobs in the small towns Washington leaves behind.
- 02 Roll back portions of the 2025 tax law that added as much as $4 trillion to the debt to cut taxes for the billionaires.
- 03 Raise the federal minimum wage — Louisiana's is still $7.25, the federal floor since 2009.
- 04 Build and create affordable housing opportunities — prioritize housing that working families can actually afford, and deliver real solutions to the housing insurance crisis that's pricing people out of a roof over their heads.
- 05 Crack down on price-gouging at the pump when refiners post record profits and Louisiana drivers pay the bill.

46th where Louisiana ranks in per-pupil school spending — every child deserves a real shot
Affordability keeps you afloat. Opportunity moves you up. Every Louisianan deserves a real shot — a strong school, a path to a good career, a business they can grow, and a government they can trust.
- 01 Expand trade schools and skills training so a good-paying career doesn't require a four-year degree — or leaving home to find one.
- 02 A strong and modernized public education available to every Louisiana student — keeping up with the high-tech future our kids deserve, no matter their zip code.
- 03 An effective Department of Education that serves every child — one that strengthens public education and, above all, stands up for the 1 in 7 Louisiana kids who count on an IEP and the families behind them.
- 04 Modernize what and how we teach — the best tools and techniques so our kids are ready for the jobs and technology of a modern world.
- 05 Pay great teachers what they're worth — recruit and keep highly qualified teachers, and reward the ones doing the work.
- 06 Help small and medium businesses grow with real access to capital, fewer hoops, and a fair shot at federal contracts.
- 07 Build the energy transition here — Louisiana energy workers should build what comes next, not be left out of it.
- 08 Take care of our elderly and our neighbors with disabilities with the dignity, services, and respect they've earned.

$7,304 avg. LA homeowner premium — 3rd-highest in the nation, more than double the U.S. average
No state takes hurricane hits like Louisiana — and no state can fix this market on its own. After Laura, Delta, and Ida, eleven insurers went under and rates exploded. States in the path of hurricanes and tornadoes need a real federal backstop, and Washington has to step up.
- 01 Make insurers prove their rate hikes with a federal backstop, real loss-data transparency, and an end to the "pay or sue" runaround.
- 02 Strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program so working families along the coast and the river aren't forced to drop coverage.
- 03 Stop letting Citizens become a permanent dumping ground — policies there grew from 34,000 to over 125,000 in four years.
- 04 Secure federal funding for coastal restoration and flood protection — because protecting our coast also protects families from rising insurance costs and economic uncertainty.

33 Louisiana rural hospitals at risk of closing as coverage shrinks and costs climb
Health care used to be something Louisiana families could afford. Not anymore. Coverage has been cut back, premiums and out-of-pocket costs keep climbing, and 33 rural hospitals are at risk of closing. People are paying more and getting less — and in a state where so many of us depend on that care, that's not just policy, it's a crisis.
- 01 Restore the coverage that's been cut before more rural hospitals close across the state.
- 02 Lower what families actually pay — rein in premiums and out-of-pocket costs so seeing a doctor doesn't wreck the budget.
- 03 Protect maternal care in the Delta — Louisiana has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the country, more than 1 in 4 parishes have no birthing hospital, and Black mothers die at nearly four times the rate of white mothers.
- 04 Lower prescription drug prices using Medicare's buying power, not pharma's pricing power.
- 05 Expand coverage to everyone in Louisiana with fair pay for the doctors and nurses who care for us.

3,200 acres of sorghum, corn, soy, and cotton — Jamie farms the same Delta ground his grandfather worked
Jamie isn't a career politician explaining farms to you. He runs one. He knows what a five-year farm bill means at the kitchen table — and he won't trade away the land to do it.
- 01 Let our farmers compete on a level playing field — tit-for-tat trade wars hit Louisiana harder than any state. In one year, retaliatory tariffs cut Louisiana's farm exports to China by $1.85 billion, the biggest drop in the country, and farm profitability here is projected to fall from 80% in 2023 to 46% in 2026. Open our markets back up and stop using our farmers as bargaining chips.
- 02 Bring down the cost of diesel and fertilizer — fuel and fertilizer are a farmer's biggest bills, and both are climbing because conflict in the Middle East sent energy prices soaring. EIA projects diesel jumping from $3.66 a gallon in 2025 toward nearly $5 in 2026. Reckless foreign policy shows up at the pump and in the fertilizer bill — we need a steadier hand abroad and stable supply at home so a crop doesn't lose money before it's in the ground.
- 03 Pass a Farmers' Farm Bill with reference prices that reflect what it actually costs to put a crop in the ground.
- 04 Protect crop insurance and disaster aid — Louisiana farmers can't outrun every hurricane and flash drought alone.
- 05 Break up consolidation in seed, fertilizer, and grain so independent farmers aren't squeezed from both ends.
- 06 Invest in Delta infrastructure — ports, roads, and rural broadband that move our crops and our kids forward.

50× the national cancer risk in some River Parishes census tracts — a sign of just how out of balance things have gotten
Jamie isn't against these plants. They anchor good jobs, and they have to be on the Mississippi River — they're not going anywhere. That's exactly why we can hold them to a higher standard. Cancer Alley exists because those facilities are packed along the river and the environmental laws haven't been enforced. Make them do it safely, make them pay into the community, and Louisiana wins on both. This isn't a hard problem.
- 01 Hold industry to a higher standard, not a lower one — require the plants along the river to perform above the bare minimum it takes to keep their neighbors safe, and back it with independent monitoring and real enforcement instead of self-reporting. They can afford it, and it won't move a single plant off the Mississippi.
- 02 Enforce the Clean Air Act against the worst polluters along the 85-mile petrochemical corridor — near the Union Carbide plant in St. Charles Parish, EPA data put one neighborhood at the highest risk in the country for certain cancers from the ethylene oxide it releases.
- 03 Inspect hard, and hold operators accountable — when the Smitty's Supply plant in Roseland exploded in August 2025, it burned for two weeks and pushed oil and chemicals nearly 40 miles down the Tangipahoa River, and inspectors later found hundreds of spills and mislabeled containers at the site. Yes, real inspections mean more oversight of a private operation — but a payout after the fact doesn't un-poison a river. Catch the problems before they blow up, and hold the company accountable when they do.
- 04 Stop rubber-stamping new permits on top of communities already carrying the heaviest health burden in the state.
- 05 Plants need to pay their fair share into the community — the facilities on the river should be a long-term source of property-tax revenue that funds good schools, roads, and real opportunity for the families next door. No more secret tax giveaways that let the biggest operations off the hook.
- 06 Fund health monitoring and clinics — throughout the areas of the state where pollution has taken a toll on people's health, so families know what's in their air and water and can get care.

23M gallons of water a day Meta's Richland Parish AI data center is registered to use — new tech can't come at the expense of our water or our bills
Jamie wants to build the future here — but not on the backs of Louisiana families. New AI and data centers are welcome if they pay their own way, protect our water and land, create real local jobs, and play by common-sense rules.
- 01 Make data centers pay their own way — if a company needs more power, it builds it and foots the bill, not Louisiana families on their electric bill.
- 02 Give communities a real seat at the table — the people who live there deserve real input on the projects coming to their parish, and a straight answer on water, power, and land use. Good development works with a community, not around it.
- 03 Tie the deals to real Louisiana jobs — permanent jobs, training, and apprenticeships for local workers and businesses, not just a few years of construction.
- 04 Compensate communities for the impact — a data center that strains local water, power, and roads should pay to mitigate it and leave the community better off, with long-term property-tax revenue for local schools and roads. This is all possible without undermining the economics of the project — and it should never be negotiated in a secret deal.
- 05 Put common-sense rules on AI — some in Washington want a total hands-off approach, but the risks are too real to leave AI unregulated. Jamie backs guardrails written for people, not dictated by the industry or outside pressure — rules that keep humanity first while still letting the good come through.
- 06 Keep AI safe and honest — protect your privacy, stop AI scams and deepfakes, and keep it safe, without killing the good it can do.
- 07 Promote AI that does real good — smaller, more efficient tools that help improve our communities, local government, medical outcomes, and the fight against cancer.

27 amendments to the U.S. Constitution — Washington and its courts have to follow every one
Government works when it plays by the rules — the ones in the Constitution, and the ones that keep it honest. Jamie will keep government open with the people it serves, defend the rights the Constitution guarantees, and hold Washington to what that document actually says.
- 01 Make Congress do its job — Congress is supposed to have the say over war and the budget, and Congress writes the laws while the administration carries them out. That's the same whether the president is a Democrat or a Republican. Rushing into conflict without that check has real costs back home — from fuel to groceries — so foreign policy has to be cautious and thought through.
- 02 Clean, open government — no more NDAs, no more secret deals, and full transparency for the people who pay the bills.
- 03 Stop government self-dealing and corruption — no insider deals, no procurement steered to favored friends and donors. The public's money should be spent in the open, where everyone can see it.
- 04 Defend the Second Amendment — Jamie is a proud gun owner who'll protect the 2A rights of law-abiding Louisianans, and he backs common-sense gun safety like background checks to keep guns out of the wrong hands.
- 05 Hold Washington and the courts to the Constitution — the federal government and its judges have to uphold what the Constitution actually says, for every American. Judges should be umpires calling balls and strikes, not players with a stake in the outcome or influencers pushing an agenda.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 51 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.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 1,351 contributions · 60% of ranked | $161,570 |

A further $12,070 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, None, blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($3,743,089) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
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.

All 1,148 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
110 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $300,045 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
