This race was bought and paid for by national interests. We need independent voices, not more of the same.

Letlow has a solid track record in the House, which gives me some confidence in her abilities. However, relying so heavily on a national endorsement makes me wonder how much she will truly prioritize local Louisiana interests over party demands.

A sad day for moderate voters. We are being pulled further into the extremes.

Trump's endorsement really sealed the deal. Great to see a true ally moving to the Senate.
