Senator Rick Edmonds Issues Statement Prior To Qualifying For Sixth Congressional District
Candidate position“Since the day Governor Landry signed the new congressional districts into law, I have been actively campaigning to be the next congressman from the Sixth Congressional District. It’s been incredible to meet with voters, local officials, and business leaders across the district and hear about the issues that are important around their kitchen tables, board rooms and city halls. Whether it’s public safety, flood mitigation, aging infrastructure, or affordability, our next congressman must be a proven conservative from this district who can advance President Trump’s agenda and get results for the people who live here.
