NEW ORLEANS, LA – Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA) released the following statement in response to the election in Louisiana:
“The failure of the proposed constitutional amendments sends a clear message: the people of Louisiana expect more from their government. Across party lines and parish boundaries, voters stood together to reject measures they felt did not reflect our shared values or serve the common good.
“This outcome is a testament to the strength and clarity of public will—rooted in a deep sense of fairness, compassion, and responsibility. I am proud to stand with those who raised their voices in defense of the most vulnerable among us, and who believe that power in our democracy must be earned, not assumed.
“Let us carry this momentum forward, working together—regardless of politics—to build a stronger, more just Louisiana for all.”
