We are still hurting from the Spillway opening last year, falsely labeled crawfish from overseas & imported shrimp taking precedent in the market. If the shrimp industry experiences another collapse in price, fleet size & the number of processors will be dramatically reduced. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a win-win-win for Louisiana’s consumers, families and local fishermen as COVID-19 has impacted everyone across the board. For many families across Louisiana, this will help feed food banks, schools and households. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Giving the State the ability to renegotiate the hurricane protection system payment agreement was a top priority for this year’s WRDA. My amendment was a direct result of the bipartisan cooperation with Gov. Edwards & our congressional delegation. https://t.co/aSNQX7h5Q4 — PolitiTweet.org

DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS Two amendments passed to deliver relief to remaining DoB flood victims from the LA 2016 Flood. The fact that POTUS signed my bill into law nearly two years ago that fixed the DoB debacle & HUD continues to box out a group of flood victims is inexcusable. https://t.co/jvOb854k8I — PolitiTweet.org

I continue to bring the Morganza to the Gulf front and center. Terrebone and Lafourche parishes have invested millions in the hurricane protection, but we need our partners at the federal level to be just as involved. We need to stop spending money after the floods happen. https://t.co/Jybnv56hau — PolitiTweet.org

Where is the money coming from? Oil & gas production. But they want to eliminate the domestic energy industry. And - they are refusing to lift the cap on funds we can use to reinvest in coastal resiliency.
