Fair representation is not optional. It is a constitutional right, and I will fight to make certain ALL Louisiana citizens are never denied their rightful seat at the table of democracy.

TONIGHT at 6 PM ET, Congressman Fields will join The Hill on NewsNation’s own, Blake Burman, to discuss crime in our nation. Don’t miss it!

Thank you, Lafayette Parish for giving me so much to take back to Washington. Communities like this are what make Louisiana’s 6th District Strong. Keep showing up and remain engaged! #6thdistrictlisteningtour #LA06

Yesterday, I visited St. Landry Parish businesses, healthcare centers, and held a successful town hall with residents. I heard you all loud and clear, and I will keep fighting in Washington to deliver the resources and opportunities St. Landry deserves. #6thdistrictlisteningtour #LA06

Today was a reminder that good policy starts with listening and good conversations. Thank you to the CENLA Chamber of Commerce, CENLA Broadcasting, and the great people of Central Louisiana for your engagement and insight on what matters. #6thdistrictlisteningtour #LA06

The Senate’s vote to gut LPB funding is a direct hit to Louisiana communities. As this dangerous budget cut returns to the House, I am standing up for teachers, parents, seniors, and rural families who rely on public broadcasting every day.

I’m back in DC with my boots on the ground to vote NO on the President’s “Big Ugly Bill.” Louisiana, I hear your concerns and I’m here to represent you as I vote no on this bill!

The Senate just passed the “Big Ugly Bill” that will take away healthcare benefits for over 11.8 million hard-working Americans and increase the deficit by $3.3 trillion just to give tax breaks to the wealthy.

What a joy it was to join our seniors for Senior Skip Day with the EBR Council on Aging. Behind every laugh and dance move was a reminder of why this work matters. I’ll always stand up for the policies that put our seniors first.

The seat I currently hold was created by the Louisiana legislature last January. Today we were expecting the Supreme Court to rule on whether the current map will be in place for the remainder of this decade.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we reflect on the perseverance of those who came before us and recommit ourselves to a future rooted in hope, unity, and justice. We show that commitment not just in our words, but in our actions every single day. #Juneteenth

Our town hall in West Baton Rouge was a tremendous success. I’m grateful for everyone who showed up, spoke up, and shared their passion, especially about the future of our children’s education. Stay engaged, stay vocal, and let’s keep working together to build the Louisiana our children deserve.

It was an honor to stand with Build BR, BREC, Councilwoman Carolyn Coleman, Republic Services, and community members today for the ribbon cutting of Erie Street EcoPark. This new green space is a testament to what can be accomplished when we work together to invest in families and our neighborhoods.

As a father of two sons, I know firsthand the joy, responsibility, and love that comes with raising a family. Today, I join you in celebrating the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and father figures who pour into their families and communities every single day.

DeSoto, Rapides, and West Baton Rouge, I hope to see you all there! #LA06 #JuneTownHallSeries

Today, I had the pleasure of welcoming Kearra Grisby, the winner of my district’s Congressional Art Competition, to the Capitol. Her art piece entitled “Crown” will be on display in the tunnels of the US Capitol for a year!

People who fail to learn from history will end up repeating it. I hope you learn something from these two videos and the powerful example of these two great leaders.

Job Corps serves the young people in every state and community, no matter Republican or Democrat, who want to make an honest living with the resources they have. We must stand with our students.

Thank you to The Advocate for allowing me to write about the importance of protecting Medicaid. I encourage everyone to check out the full article at their website. I hear your concerns and I’ll never stop fighting for you! www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/...

Avoyelles and Pointe Coupee, I’m coming your way! There’s big work happening in Washington, and I want to give you the latest updates. More importantly, I want to hear from you. Join me at a town hall near you!

This Memorial Day, we remember the men and women who gave their lives in defense of our nation out of duty, conviction, and live for a country they believed could be better. Let this day call us not only to remembrance, but to responsibility to ensure this nation remains worthy of their sacrifice.

I wanted to take a minute to personally congratulate the Class of 2025. Congratulations graduates! There’s a lot going on in the world, but don’t let anything hold you back. You can do whatever you set your mind to!

There is nothing beautiful about a bill that could strip vital healthcare and food assistance from millions of Americans.

I’ve been up all night fighting to protect the right to healthcare for the people of Louisiana. I may be tired, but I will never be too tired to stand up for my state. Keep calling and letting your voices be heard. We need boots on the ground. I’m here and I’ll be here as long as it takes.

It’s now 1:00am and we won’t sit silent while the rich get tax cuts, but American families lose their healthcare and children go hungry. #savemedicaid #saveSNAP #saveourchildren #saveourseniors

Most people will be asleep, but I won’t because, Republicans will be trying to cut Medicaid by $880 billion in the dead of the night. At 1 am, I will be in the Rules Committee fighting for Louisiana families. Stay tuned.

President Tate’s leadership at LSU has been nothing short of extraordinary. Though his departure is bittersweet, I have no doubt he will lead Rutgers University with the same distinction and purpose. I wish him continued success in this next chapter.

Members of Congress have the right and responsibility of oversight. My colleague, Rep. LaMonica Mclver was doing her job, overseeing the conditions of an ICE detention facility in her district, when she was arrested and charged.

Madam Mayor, it was great speaking with you about how we can work to bring resources back to Lafayette. I’m excited for all of the projects this great city has in the works!

The thoughts and prayers of myself, my family, and my staff are with President Biden and his loved ones following his cancer diagnosis. Just like he’s spent his career fighting for the American people, I know he will fight this as well.

Today I spoke on the House floor to honor the life of former Mayor Melvin “Kip” Holden. Mayor Holden will be deeply missed by those who knew him, and by the city of Baton Rouge.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of former Mayor-President Melvin “Kip” Holden, a trailblazer, a history-maker, and a dedicated public servant who helped shape the future of Baton Rouge. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all those who were touched by his leadership.

At 10:30 CT this morning, @repfields.bsky.social and I will chat live about how to save the Low Income Energy Assistance Program that helps 6 million households keep the lights on. Trump wants to eliminate this lifeline program & we must #SaveLiheap Tune in live on Facebook or Instagram

Today I met with members of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association to learn more about the work that the SOAR Act will do to expand access to supplemental oxygen for those who need it most. This bill is bipartisan and bicameral which means there is support from both parties in both chambers.

Today I was humbled to be presented with the State Legislative Champion award for Early Childhood Education. I have spent decades advocating for our children but there is still so much more we can do!

Thank you to Sandra Dave from the National Breast Cancer Coalition for coming by my office to discuss the importance of funding for breast cancer research and breast cancer screening.

This morning I had the pleasure of meeting with members of the leadership team from Lane Regional Medical Center. We discussed Medicaid funding and support for the 340B Drug Pricing Program which aims to make pharmaceuticals more affordable.

President Trump’s first 100 days in office have been disappointing to say the least. While we hold out hope for things to improve, the courts and Congress should exercise checks and balances.
