  • "Consider how Black people migrated from the south to flee Jim Crow. We built major American cities. We can do it again. If we want better education, let’s take over the education system of several states. If we want to end qualified immunity, let’s take over state gov." (twitter.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "Ensuring that Louisiana continues to receive necessary funding from the federal government, like the $1 billion package going to Louisiana’s failing bridges. Advocating for more funding to services like Amtrak to increase the available non-car infrastructure available in-state to allow for easier travel for all Louisiana residents. Fighting to get federal funding to improve access to drinking water. In Louisiana, approximately 20% of parishes do not have access to the drinking water they need, which is often exacerbated by natural disasters. Focusing on infrastructure bills that bolster the environmental conditions for Louisianans while providing much needed services and getting more Louisianans employed by the federal government."

  • "Hurricane Ida is proof that we have to do something about climate change and infrastructure in America. Louisiana ranks #50 in the nation. So ask yourself if you lived in the worst ranked state how you think recovery is going for the average person? Slow. Hot. Frustrating." (twitter.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.

  • "In accordance with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ Green New Deal resolution–which calls for investment in economic development, green building, transit and education. Gary will call for an immediate re-allocation of community development funding to eliminate the financial vacuum caused by the de-industrialization of rural and urban communities." (chambersforlouisiana.com)
  • "Additionally, Gary will advocate for and vote on passing legislation to increase funding for the EPAs Superfund program to clean up contaminated land. He will prioritize legislation that makes resources more readily available to citizens whose homes have been devalued and whose health is at risk, allowing governments to purchase property from affected property owners at a “just” price, and assist with relocating those families to a safe and healthy location."

  • "Gary is committed to passing common sense gun control policies to protect our children and our communities in Louisiana and across the country." (chambersforlouisiana.com)
