Congressman Cleo Fields

Louisiana, let’s finish strong! 🔥 Today is the LAST DAY to vote early. Yes, you can wait until Election Day on November 3rd, but you never know what may come up. Polls are open until 6:00 PM! Let’s turn out the vote! #VoteEarlyLouisiana

Tomorrow is the last day to vote early, Louisiana. Get up, get out and VOTE! #YourVoteIsYourVoice #VoteEarly

Regardless of intent, a remark such as this puts the safety and security of millions of Americans at risk and should not be taken lightly!

Some visits just mean a little more. 💛💙 Today, Congress to the Classroom brought me back to my beloved alma mater, Southern University and A&M College, for a special opportunity to engage with some of our state’s brightest young minds! We took a deep dive into the branches of government, the legislative process, and the importance of civic engagement. But the highlight of today’s visit was hearing from the students themselves. I was so proud of their genuine interest in how they can become more engaged. I reminded them that their ability to make a difference starts at the ballot box, and when young people across America become informed, engaged, and involved, they truly hold the power to drive meaningful change.

Yesterday at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 55th Annual Legislative Conference, I had the opportunity to lead an important conversation on Louisiana v. Callais and the future of voting rights in America. I was joined by Rep. Jonathan Jackson, Tara Murray, Janai Nelson, and Rep. Shomari Figures for a timely discussion on the Voting Rights Act, fair representation, and what the Callais case could mean for equal access to the ballot. At a pivotal moment for voting rights, conversations like these are critical as we continue working to protect the right of every American to have their voice heard and their vote represented.

On this 25th anniversary of September 11, we honor the lives lost and the countless families forever changed. Time moves forward, but we will never forget. 🇺🇸

Voting rights are on the line. Join me and leading voices in the fight for voting rights at #ALC55 for a timely conversation on Louisiana v. Callais, the Voting Rights Act, and what’s at stake for fair representation.
