We are doing something about it in Louisiana’s all-important U.S. Senate primary. Our guest is Congresswoman Julia Letlow — a fighter from rural Louisiana who’s ready to take her proven record to the United States Senate. Julia grew up in Monroe, graduated from Ouachita Christian High School, and became a dedicated educator. She earned her degrees from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and went on to serve as an instructor and administrator at ULM and Tulane, always fighting for opportunity through education. She married her husband Luke Letlow, hit the campaign trail with him as he ran for Congress in Louisiana’s 5th District, and together they were building a life of service. Tragically, Luke won the election but passed away from COVID complications just days before he was to be sworn in. In her grief, Julia didn’t quit — she stepped up. She ran in the special election, won with 65% of the vote, and became Louisiana’s first Republican woman ever elected to Congress. In Washington, she has delivered results: she authored the Parents Bill of Rights to put moms and dads back in charge of their kids’ education, fought for the Farm Bill to protect our farmers and rural communities, returned critical funding to Louisiana’s 5th District, and earned a powerful seat on the House Appropriations Committee. Now President Trump personally asked her to run for Senate and gave her his complete and total endorsement. But What sets Julia apart? What will be her priorities in the Senate and how will she deliver real results for Louisiana families? She’s a fighter that’s how and Julia Letlow is the fighter Louisiana needs.
