Voters aren't looking for scared or fencesitting. They want someone who feels real and authentic, with genuine beliefs and solutions for a better tomorrow. Support a real one when you see them, I promise they're electable. apnews.com/article/demo...

Sometimes I think about all the problems ranked choice voting could solve

Why yes we did take a party bus with a second line band to #GeauxVote in New Orleans East. A time was had.

Realized I was a bit demure in the AM update: Essentially, Black people account for 34% of every vote cast but are only 31.3% of the electorate. So big over performance. Registered democrats account for 43% of every vote cast but are only 36% of the electorate. Low key Obama level voter turnout.

Fun fact.. Obama 2012 (post election returns) is the high water mark for Black voting in Louisiana with 67% turnout.

Black voters are now OUTVOTING their share of the rolls 31% of registered voters are Black, and they're 34% of the early vote so far (up from 26% in 2022)

And yet there's randomly a guy in JP running off of denying electric school buses

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

Day 5 (10/24 Results) Orleans #2 overall for EV totals on track to make JBE Runoff EV! Statewide DEM & Black voters showed up! Practically 34% of all votes were cast by Black voters and DEM vote share rebounded. No statewide Sat turnout bump but on pace to beat 2022 midterms & 75% to JBE runoff.

I’ve spent 17 years teaching children that our Constitution matters and that no one is above the law. I won’t go to Congress and look the other way. I’m committed to filing articles of impeachment on day one.

Day 4 (10/23 Results) interesting stuff coming tomorrow but briefly Black voters continue over performing, DEM voter strength weakening but still out performing based on registrations. Orleans #3 in vote count. Orleans poised to beat 2022 midterms and at 60% to goal for JBE Runoff.

Some fun langiappe. New Orleans is close to making May 2016 primary early voting and is on track to meet other milestones such as the 2025 mayoral race and 2019 JBE runoff election. 🤞🏽in the 28-32k range after Saturday. Take a friend to a early voting second line!

🚨NEW STORY🚨 Farmer Jamie Davis is closing the gap as he bids to be Louisiana’s first Black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction, leaving Julia Letlow without the sure victory Republicans had hoped for. "This is not going to be a slam dunk," a pollster warns. thelensnola.org/2026/10/23/j...

Day 3 (10/22 Results) Y'all still vote tho! Day/day increase 32%. Black voters overperforming (.59%). DEM voters overperforming (6.7%) but the lead is shrinking. Orleans #3 in vote count. District D winning in Orleans. Predicting Saturday turnout will pass Nov 2022 primary & possibly JBE 2019.

Thank you to Aubrey Avocado and Quinn Bishop for having me at 12 Mile Limit yesterday for Candidate Questions! I’m a teacher, so you know I love a good Q&A. Grateful for the chance to talk about what we can do together for LA-1! 💙

ICYMI: Farmers aren't supposed to run for Congress. But when the only things growing in Louisiana are grocery bills, gas prices, and Mike Johnson’s bank account, Congress doesn’t need another politician - it needs a farmer.

I'm not mature enough to not cackle at this.

Louisiana Early Vote: Day 2 - we're already at 47% of 2022's complete EV - D 43%, R 41% - yesterday, Republicans showed up 43% to D 40% - Black voters currently 32% of EV, compared to 26% in 2022 - Both parties ahead of expectations: D +34%, R +11% - Precincts on pace: 76% for D, 56% for R

See you this weekend at the ACAB Zine Fest! Three days of events at multiple locations in New Orleans, with vendors, music, speakers, workshops, oh my! You can find the complete schedule on instagram.

I don't stan politicians but this is what's up. Brad Lander going to Palestine and exposing the propaganda. More people in Congress need to volunteer with the olive harvest if they want to learn and reject the sanitized state sponsored trip.

New Orleans Marie I'm not going to yell at you (yet). Every single precinct is represented as having early voted. Instead I'm challenging y'all to who can beat May 2026 early voting. As per usual, District E is in the lead.

Also is there someone smarter than me who can explain why there are NEW PRECINCTS like (17/37, 17/18C) suddenly in Orleans? Is this redistricting foolishness? And why is a 17th ward precinct in city council district D?

Hope core but still go effing vote. 11 parishes majority voters Black 33 parishes majority voters registered Dems. I've seen better Black turnout but this is a Dem over performance.

Very important that y'all don't sleep on this PSC race. Stephanie Hilferty is Julia Letlow in a different font.

Today was our second day in the olive groves with the “Protect the Harvest” coalition.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Louisiana, early voting continues today! As you head to your early voting location, keep your eyes peeled for our campaign signs! 👀 I’m showing up across District 6 to engage with voters and hear about the issues that matter most to them, and I need YOU showing up to the polls! 🔥💙

Federal data center moratorium is what the moment needs because what do you mean a $80 billion dollar loss isn’t forcing you as a company to self impose a construction moratorium?

lol

Struggling to engage with the concept of “father and son Republican operatives Timmy and Tommy Teepell.” Come on man can even one thing be like 5% less stupid

Kenner, I want to hear from you! 💗 Join me this Sunday for a community town hall to talk about what matters to you and what you need from your next representative in Congress. Bring your questions and bring a neighbor. I’m ready to listen! Sign up: jewettforla.com/kenner

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

For my audio book readers... my spooky season book recommendation is The Trees by #PercivalEverett I might change my mind when I finish but at the moment I am locked in.

Generational level fumble and I want to proven wrong so badly.

When my car was broken into they stole this albumn... not gonna lie I cried a little. I also remember how magical this time period felt.

Public Co-op: could be fun Publicly traded: hard pass Pubically owned: why not? Our taxes already built the stadiums.

Frizzy Lizzy is effing nuts! We gotta vote that lady out next year.

This is journalism.

Saints & Falcons are hated rivals, but some things are bigger than football. Before the two teams face off next Monday, Saints & Falcons fans will be teaming up to provide food, clothes, etc to the houseless community of New Orleans. Thank you, @jeannakelley.com. #TailgateTogether

Who’s down to make some DIY campaign merch this Friday? I’m hosting a screen-printing night in Metairie! All you need to do is grab a plain t-shirt, tote bag, or jacket from your closet (or a thrift store!), bring it over, and we’ll help you print custom campaign designs onto it.

Louisiana, we’re about to be all data centers and ice detention. @conrad4congress.bsky.social here’s your next campaign ad.

As a special education teacher of 17 years, I won't stand by while Louisiana leaders walk back civil rights for our neighbors. In Congress, I will fight to restore and enforce community integration!
