Stewart Cathey Qualifies as Candidate for Congress in Louisiana’s Fifth District

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BATON ROUGE, LA - Louisiana State Senator Stewart Cathey officially qualified as a candidate for the U.S. Congress in Louisiana’s Fifth Congressional District today. 

Born and raised in Louisiana’s Fifth Congressional District, Stewart Cathey has dedicated his life to service — serving his country in the United States Army, including two deployments to Afghanistan, then returning home to build a small business and serve in the Louisiana Senate.

“I’m honored to officially qualify to run for Congress and ask for the opportunity to serve the people of Louisiana’s Fifth District,” said Stewart Cathey. “From wearing the uniform, to building a business, to serving in the Louisiana Senate, I’ve spent my career solving problems and fighting for the people I represent. In Congress, I’ll bring that same focus to lowering energy costs, reining in reckless spending, creating good-paying jobs, and building an economy that rewards hard work. Most importantly, I’ll make sure the people of Louisiana’s Fifth District have a seat at the table.”
