Statement from Speaker Pelosi

Speaker Pelosi’s Statement on Don Cazayoux’s Special Election Runoff Victory in Louisiana’s Sixth Congressional District

“On behalf of the Democratic Caucus, I welcome Congressman-elect Don Cazayoux to the House of Representatives and congratulate him on his stunning victory. As I tell every new Member, your title ‘Representative’ is your job description.

“Don will be an independent Representative for the people of Louisiana’s Sixth District. They showed today that they, like the vast majority of Americans, demand a New Direction for our country. Louisianans embraced Don’s positive message of strengthening America’s middle class by investing in education, creating jobs, making health care more affordable and bringing our brave men and women home from Iraq. His ability to work across party lines and build consensus will be a wonderful addition to the New Direction Congress.

“Don Cazayoux’s victory this evening proves once again that Americans across our country want real solutions and reject Republicans’ negative attacks.”
