A Louisiana We Can All Afford

Affordability

Everyday costs—from childcare to healthcare and housing—far outpace what hard-working families can afford. Jamie will:

  • Raise wages and support small businesses so families can earn more and keep more in their pockets.

  • Expand affordable housing so more Louisianans can live closer to where they work.

  • Cut red tape for local contractors, truckers, and farmers so they can compete fairly.

  • Reverse the Trump tax cuts to invest in childcare, infrastructure, and working-family priorities.

  • Crack down on runaway utility rates and monopoly price hikes that drive up bills.

  • Invest in rebuilding roads, bridges, water systems, and broadband infrastructure to create more well-paying jobs in Louisiana.

Healthcare

Families shouldn’t have to choose between keeping food on the table and going to the doctor–if they have access to healthcare in the first place. Jamie will:

  • Move toward a simpler, more reasonable system where everyone can see a doctor—no matter their income or zip code.

  • Lower prescription costs and eliminate medical bankruptcies.

  • Protect Medicaid expansion and strengthen the Affordable Care Act.

  • Expand rural access with more doctors, nurses, telehealth, and end surprise billing.

  • Invest in mental health, addiction treatment, and community-based care across the state.

Education

No matter where they grow up, every child in Louisiana deserves to have a chance at success. Our schools fall far behind national averages. Jamie will:

  • Raise teacher pay to competitive regional levels.

  • Increase per-pupil funding for stronger classrooms.

  • Make college, vocational training, and technical skills—from welding to nursing to IT—affordable and accessible.

  • Strengthen school autonomy and partnerships with higher education to prepare students for 21st-century jobs.
