Senator Bill Cassidy Launches Re-Election Campaign at Jefferson Parish Event

METAIRIE, LA — Surrounded by supporters, community leaders, and elected officials, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), officially announced his campaign for re-election to the U.S. Senate today at Drago’s Seafood Restaurant in Metairie.

“Louisiana and our country face serious challenges,” said Senator Cassidy.”I'm running for re-election to work with the people of Louisiana and my fellow Americans to not just face these challenges, but to make our state and our country even greater."

Background:

Senator Cassidy’s conservative victories have fueled growing momentum for his 2026 re- election campaign. Last quarter, he raised over $2.1 million, his largest fundraising quarter this cycle, and enters Q3 with $9 million cash on hand, the largest war chest ever held by a Louisiana Senate candidate at this point.

Cassidy continues to maintain a productive working relationship with President Donald Trump. The senator has made multiple visits to the White House this year and received several public shoutouts from the President, including:

• Acknowledgment at the White House Health Technology Event

• Support for Cassidy’s HALT Fentanyl Act

• Celebration of the passage of “One Big Beautiful Bill”

• Recognition at the Strengthen American Economy event

  
  

These moments reflect a shared agenda and close coordination on conservative priorities.

“Since taking office, Senator Cassidy has been one of the most effective members of the U.S. Senate at bringing federal resources home to Louisiana—even without a seat on the Appropriations Committee. In FY2024, he secured $1.3 billion in federal funding for the state, the most of any member of Louisiana’s congressional delegation. Roll Call named him among the top 20 senators for total funding secured—and one of only five in that group not serving on the Appropriations Committee.”

• Ruston Mayor Ronny Walker

• Lafourche Parish President Archie Chaisson
