LOUISIANA HOUSE REPUBLICAN DELEGATION PUTS POLITICS BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA

Baton Rouge, LA – Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Katie Bernhardt issued the following statement on last night’s vote on the American Rescue Act:  

“House Democrats worked through the night to fund vaccines, safeguard our schools, and get $1,400 checks to American families.

Republicans Mike Johnson, Clay Higgins, Steve Scalise, and Garrett Graves demonstrated their disregard for Louisianans last night by doing the bidding of party bosses instead of the people they serve. Every Republican in Louisiana’s House delegation voted against direct payments, funding for vaccines and school safety, and enhanced unemployment benefits for workers displaced by the pandemic. They serve their corporate donors and DC bosses, not the people of Louisiana.”
