Biography

Basic profile — the most important sourced facts we found.

After losing his job during COVID, he and his brother built a small farm in Union Parish, and he now runs a vegetable farm with his brother in Marion.[1][2] He says his decision to run was shaped by the closure of his childhood school after funding cuts and by the Citizens United ruling.[1][2] During the campaign, he emphasized Medicare for All, food security and campaign-finance reform.[1][2] He received 23.0% of the vote to Mike Johnson's 58.5%, according to unofficial results reported by NBC News.[3]
In their own words
Priorities

- Wants to overturn Citizens United, saying big money has too much influence in politics and corporate interests are put ahead of working families.[4]
