NRCC Statement on LA-06

July 21, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) today issued the following statement on Cleo Fields’ decision not to seek reelection in LA-06:

“Cleo Fields knows he can’t defend Democrats’ radical, high-tax, open-border agenda, so he decided to jump ship just 24 hours after being added to the NRCC’s target list. This fall, Louisianans in the Sixth District will elect a strong, commonsense conservative who will give them the representation they deserve.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson

BACKGROUND

  • In 2024, President Trump won the new LA-06 by 32.1%.
