BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Sen. Bill Cassidy officially launched his reelection campaign at Drago’s Seafood Restaurant in Metairie Friday.
Cassidy was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014 and won reelection in 2020. Challengers he faces in the 2026 election cycle are Republicans, Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming and Louisiana State Sen. Blake Miguez.
“Louisiana and our country face serious challenges,” Cassidy said. ”I’m running for re-election to work with the people of Louisiana and my fellow Americans to not just face these challenges, but to make our state and our country even greater.”
According to Cassidy’s office, $2.1 million was raised in the last quarter, and he enters the new quarter with $9 million cash on hand.
His team said Cassidy maintains a “productive working relationship” with President Trump. The president recently praised the incumbent U.S. Senate candidate at a Make America Healthy Again-related health technology event and an economy event.
Trump signed Cassidy’s HALT Fentanyl Act in July, which cracks down on the opioid epidemic by permanently scheduling fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I controlled substances.
