U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., posted a series of messages on May 4, 2026, highlighting his engagement with local businesses, veterans, and manufacturers in Louisiana.
In a post at 17:01 UTC, Cassidy wrote, “Louisiana is home to many unique local restaurants and shops. It’s always great when I get to visit them across the state. Let’s support them during Small Business Week!”
Later that day at 18:29 UTC, he addressed veterans’ issues in Baton Rouge, stating, “Fantastic turnout and conversations with Louisiana veterans today in Baton Rouge. Our veterans deserve a system that works. I will continue working to make sure we are serving those who have served us so bravely.”
At 21:09 UTC, Cassidy discussed efforts to protect local industry from international competition. He said, “I sent a letter urging the USITC to crack down on Chinese dumping and protect Louisiana manufacturers from unfair competition. Today’s ruling protects a billion-dollar @BASF investment in Geismar, Louisiana, along with hundreds of local jobs. Proud to have helped deliver this”.
