ELECTION DAY IS SATURDAY, APRIL 24: JPDEC Endorses State Sen. Troy Carter

JP Dems

VOTE ON SATURDAY!

The Jefferson Parish Democratic Executive Committee has endorsed State Sen. Troy Carter of New Orleans for Louisiana’s vacant 2nd Congressional District seat. Two strong Democrats are running for Congress, but Sen. Carter, 57, will bring an impressive blend of deep local and state government experience to the U.S. House of Representatives. He will pursue a strong progressive agenda, yet has the ability — so important in today’s polarized politics — to work with others in Congress to get things done for Louisiana and for America.

Troy Carter also has a long record of volunteering in the community. He served in the Louisiana State House and then on the New Orleans City Council before election in 2015 to the State Senate, where he chaired the Democratic Caucus and served on committees related to labor issues, fiscal affairs, coastal restoration, flood control and veterans affairs.

          JPDEC recommends Sen. Troy Carter to anyone who supports equal opportunity and justice, plus a livable minimum wage and quality health care and education available to all. VOTE ON SATURDAY!
