Congresswoman-elect Julia Letlow (R) 5th Congressional District
Congresswoman-elect Julia Letlow will be sworn into Congress this morning. She’s the first Republican female to ever serve in Congress for Louisiana and the first female since Senator Mary Landrieu in 2015. Letlow said one of her priorities is to serve on the Agriculture Committee.
“The backbone of this district is agriculture, I’ve talked to a ton of farmers, ranchers, and loggers all over the district. And they definitely want and need representation. The Farm Bill is coming down in 2022,” said Letlow.
Congressmen Mike Johnson and Steve Scalise are members of the steering committee for assignments, and they have reserved a spot for Letlow on the Agriculture Committee.
