U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., used his social media platform to highlight recent legislative efforts and local initiatives in Louisiana.
On March 18, 2026, Cassidy addressed congressional ethics by stating, “Members of Congress shouldn’t cash in on information the public doesn’t have. That’s wrong. Today, I introduced the Stop Insider Trading Act to put a stop to it.”
The following day, Cassidy discussed infrastructure improvements in Grand Isle. On March 19, 2026, he wrote, “Grand Isle Mayor David Camardelle knows how important it is to protect our coast. Proud to have secured $2.6 million through my infrastructure bill to help strengthen their levee system. Great meeting to talk about how I can keep delivering for Southeast Louisiana.”
Later that day, Cassidy turned his attention to military support in Northwest Louisiana: “The mission of @TeamBarksdale is important not only to Louisiana, but to our country. Honored to receive an award for my dedication to the mission of the @AFGlobalStrike during my meeting with @ShreveChamber. We discussed how I can continue to deliver for Northwest Louisiana.”
Cassidy serves as chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and holds seats on the Finance, Energy and Natural Resources, and Veterans Affairs Committees (official website). His work includes advancing measures aimed at reducing health care costs and supporting coastal restoration projects across Louisiana. He co-founded the Greater Baton Rouge Community Clinic to provide free health and dental care services for underserved populations (official website).
Born and educated in Louisiana—having earned both undergraduate and medical degrees from Louisiana State University—Cassidy has focused much of his career on healthcare reform and public service (official website). Alongside his wife, a retired breast cancer surgeon, he has raised three children (official website).
