Baton Rouge, LA — Louisiana Freedom Caucus Chairwoman Beryl Amedee was honored at the 2025 State Freedom Caucus Summit with the award for best floor speech of the year. Amedee’s remarks were delivered on the House floor during a contentious debate on DEI. She emphasized in her remarks that there is only one race: the human race.
“I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from my Freedom Caucus colleagues,” said Rep. Amedee. “The words I shared in Louisiana’s Capitol were meant to remind us of an enduring truth: that our shared humanity binds us together, even as cultural and political forces attempt to divide us. It is my hope that this message continues to resonate beyond the chamber walls.”
Rep. Amedee also praised the work of the State Freedom Caucus Network. “There are 50 states with 50 swamps, each just as destructive as the swamp in Washington, D.C. The work of State Freedom Caucus legislators is vital to holding the line against federal overreach and to deliver results at home where the American people live, work and raise their families,” she said.
The 2025 State Freedom Caucus Summit convened lawmakers and leaders from across the nation in Dallas, Tx on September 5-6 to highlight legislative achievements, strengthen collaboration and share best practices for taking the fight to the swamp.
