As an educator, researcher and problem solver,
I believe leadership means listening, studying the challenges facing our communities, and developing real, workable solutions. I also understand how imperative it is to collaborate with other legislators. The legislation featured on this page reflects my commitment to turning the needs of Louisiana families into meaningful action, as well as demonstrating how efficient Congress can be when we support each other to achieve the same goal.
