Party Calls on Voters to Stay Vigilant Against the Radical Left Agenda
Baton Rouge, La. – Louisiana Republicans are in a fight for the future of our state and our nation. The radical left continues to push open borders, higher taxes, weak-on-crime policies, attacks on parental rights, and an energy agenda that would crush Louisiana jobs. The Republican Party of Louisiana will not stand down. We will remain vigilant, and we will back candidates who will fight for the Constitution, safer communities, and a stronger Louisiana in November.
The choice this fall is clear. Republicans stand for secure borders, energy dominance, and the rights of parents to direct their children’s education. We stand for law and order, lower taxes, and an economy that rewards work instead of punishing it. The left’s agenda is the opposite: more government, more chaos, and less freedom.
That is why the Republican Party of Louisiana is announcing official party endorsements for the November 3, 2026 election. These candidates have earned the party's confidence because they share our values and will take the fight back against the progressive radical agenda.
