U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., representing Louisiana, posted a series of updates on September 4, 2025, highlighting both state and national issues through his official social media account.
In the first post at 14:16 UTC, Cassidy announced his support for a fellow Louisianan’s nomination to a federal energy commission. He wrote, “Proud to introduce fellow Louisianan, David LaCerte, in @EnergyGOP as President Trump’s nominee to serve on the @FERC. Unleashing American energy requires commissioners who can get results. David’s experience in our state’s energy economy makes him the right person for the job.” The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is responsible for regulating interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas, and oil.
Later that day at 17:12 UTC, Cassidy shared details from a meeting with local business leaders. He stated, “Great meeting with the Bayou Region Chamber of Commerce yesterday. My message was simple: We are working and winning for Louisiana. From funding critical projects like Morganza-to-the-Gulf to repealing WEP/GPO and fighting for affordable flood insurance, it’s an honor to fight”. The Morganza-to-the-Gulf project is a major flood protection system designed to safeguard southern Louisiana communities from storm surges and flooding.
In another post at 18:46 UTC on the same day, Cassidy commented on federal pandemic response efforts under different administrations. He remarked, “If Obama had achieved half of what President Trump was able to achieve with Operation Warp Speed, you better believe he would have won a Nobel Prize instantly. Why hasn’t President Trump gotten a Nobel Prize for this historic achievement yet?” Operation Warp Speed was a public-private partnership initiated during the Trump administration aimed at accelerating COVID-19 vaccine development and distribution.
Senator Bill Cassidy has been active in advocating for Louisiana’s infrastructure needs and has consistently voiced support for local economic development initiatives as well as national policy debates.
