Economy
Congresswoman Letlow believes that by lowering taxes and reducing burdensome regulations, we can grow the economy and create more good-paying jobs in Louisiana. That's why she supported President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, which provided tax relief for middle class families and small business owners. She has also consistently voted to overturn BIden-era regulations that create more mandates for Louisiana's job creators and add to the cost of doing business. When in Louisiana, she consistently visits local business owners to listen to their concerns with federal policies, and will continue to fight for good-paying jobs and economic growth.
