Preparations are underway for our Annual Drive-Thru Back-to-School Giveaway. The event is scheduled for Saturday, July 25, 2026, at 1:00 PM at L.B. Landry High School, located at 1200 L.B. Landry Avenue in New Orleans. I am partnering with State Representative Delisha Boyd, Algiers Charter School, and several community partners. We understand that sometimes the exorbitant cost of school supplies can be a burden, and we want to help in any way that we can. This event is free to the public, and school supplies will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be free Happy Meals, Snowballs, and music! The event is drive-through, and the child must be present. Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to text message (504) 510-9000

I testified today before the Louisiana State Senate to make one thing very clear: Louisiana needs two majority-minority districts. Math is math, and I will not allow the voices of Black voters in our state to be silenced.

Today’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is a devastating blow to the promise of equal representation in our democracy. This decision will embolden efforts to dismantle majority-Black districts and fracture communities that have finally begun to see themselves reflected in their government. The fight is not over. I’ll continue to work in Congress and with our communities to restore the protections of the Voting Rights Act and defend the fundamental right to vote.

SB 256 Does NOT represent our democracy!

No on any bill that seeks to abolish an office before a duly elected official is even sworn in. The people have already spoken. To undo their will is to undermine our democracy. What’s happening to Calvin Duncan is unconscionable and undemocratic.

Today I was honored to speak before the Democratic Leadership at the General Session of the Democratic National Committee Spring Meeting in New Orleans.

“The south is where some of the greatest struggles for justice for American history were fought!” “There is legislation making its way through the Capitol to take away elective offices where people were duly elected by the people!” “We don’t always have the votes, but we always have our voice!”

Join me in spreading the word, “we cannot support Un-American Acts!”
