State Rep. Julie Emerson to challenge Bill Cassidy for US Senate

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — State Rep. Julie Emerson (R-Carencro) announced her candidacy for U.S. Senate Monday morning.

Emerson, who serves as the Louisiana House Ways & Means Committee chairman, challenges incumbent Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy. As a state lawmaker, she led the effort for the state’s $1 billion income tax cut, authored the school choice program LA GATOR and passed legislation ending the state franchise tax.

“Voters want a strong conservative senator who can get things done — someone focused on results, not rhetoric. I’m running to bring home real outcomes for Louisiana: infrastructure investment, new jobs, and a seat at the table where decisions get made,” Emerson said.

Other challengers Cassidy faces in the 2026 Senate election are Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming and State Sen. Blake Miguez. Cassidy was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014 and won reelection in 2020.
