Luke Letlow Post Office Established in Rayville, Louisiana
RAYVILLE, LA – Today in Richland Parish, the Rayville Post Office was officially renamed the “Luke Letlow Post Office Building” in honor of the late Congressman-elect Luke Letlow.
Congresswoman Letlow lost her husband Luke to COVID-19 on December 29, 2020, following his election to Congress and after years of service in both the federal and state governments.
The recognition in Letlow’s home parish was made possible by legislation carried by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and signed into law late last year.
Congresswoman Julia Letlow, former Congressman Ralph Abraham, and a large crowd of family and friends gathered at the post office today to celebrate the recognition.
“The Luke Letlow Post Office will stand as a monument to Luke’s servant’s heart and his dedication to the rural communities in north Louisiana,” said Congresswoman Julia Letlow. “Luke was passionate about bringing people together - especially in places like Richland Parish. He never met a stranger, and he considered helping others through public service to be his highest calling. With this recognition, his legacy will live on in the place he called home.”
