Guided by my own experiences, I'm introducing the Know Your Risk Act to help women better understand their likelihood of developing breast cancer. A risk assessment was crucial to determining my own risk and taking preventative action, and I want every woman to have that same opportunity.

DELIVERING FOR THE CAPITAL REGION:
Through my seat on @HouseAppropsGOP, I secured $2 million to help reduce flood risk on the Amite River.
South Louisiana knows flooding all too well. I'll continue fighting to protect homes, lives, and communities. nola.com/news/politics/natio…
Antisemitism has zero place in our schools. All students deserve a classroom experience free of indoctrination, and districts that teach students to hate Israel must be held accountable.
🚨 NEW REPORT: Antisemitism isn't just happening in America's classrooms. It's being written into the curriculum. Committee Republicans' investigations into school districts in Philadelphia and Berkeley, along with the nation's largest teachers union, NEA, uncovered antisemitic materials in classroom curricula, troubling conduct by educators, and failures to adequately address antisemitism.
Jewish students deserve classrooms free from antisemitism—not schools that perpetuate it.

Raising children is one of life's greatest joys, but also comes with significant expenses for families. That's why I helped deliver a permanent $2,200 Child Tax Credit, higher tax credits for child care expenses, and expanded incentives for businesses to offer paid family leave.
The Chinese Communist Party is a threat to our national security. Our adversaries must be stopped from purchasing American farmland.
I've voted to protect our national security and food supply, and will continue fighting to ban CCP purchases of our land.
Great step forward for women's health! Thank you @POTUS and First Lady Melania Trump for working to close research gaps by creating a new Women's Health Division at the @NIH.
TRUMP SIGNS HISTORIC EXECUTIVE ORDER CREATING NEW NIH DIVISION & TASK FORCE FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH
This new division will promote new research on understudied diseases, promote new innovative technology approaches to diagnose conditions sooner and improve existing treatments for diseases faced by women across the country.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! My own experience made clear just how important it is to stay informed about our health. I encourage every woman to speak with a doctor about their breast cancer risk and screening options.

Happy Homecoming weekend @LSU!
#GeauxTigers
LSU's Homecoming is here! To celebrate, WBRZ's Mia Monet spoke to members of this year's court ahead of Saturday's Mississippi State game!

MAJOR investment in Tensas Parish!
The Mississippi River drives economic development throughout the Delta, and upgrading our river infrastructure is critical to creating more economic opportunity.
I secured millions in funding—with even more on the way to Tensas Parish—so we can create jobs and provide more shipping capacity for Louisiana commodities. thetensasgazette.net/article…
We now have the most secure border in American history.
Shutting down the border has reduced the flow of fentanyl, deterred illegal immigration, and increased safety in our communities.
An unofficial report from U.S. Customs and Border Protection indicates that the number of migrants arrested after illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has fallen by nearly 95 percent from the peak of the Biden border crisis. trib.al/LoJPWEt
My Know Your Risk Act will help every woman better understand their breast cancer risk.
This issue hits close to home. I joined @BloombergTV to share my story ⬇️
We returned over $300,000 back to constituents in September! My office is always here to guide and assist you when working with a federal agency. Visit letlow.house.gov for help.
I know from experience that risk assessments are crucial to preventing and treating breast cancer. My Know Your Risk Act is an important first step toward establishing a universal tool to help women better understand their risk.
More fantastic news for education in Louisiana!
Louisiana is making great strides in higher education, meeting one of its goals years early and is well on its way towards meeting a second goal.

Parents should NEVER be threatened for speaking out on issues in their child's classroom. A new report describes how the Biden DOJ targeted concerned parents and labeled them domestic terrorists.
Parental rights must always be respected, which is why I led the movement in Congress to pass a Parents Bill of Rights.
Agriculture is the lifeblood of Louisiana.
It's been an honor to champion our farmers, ranchers, and loggers and give them a seat at the table through my work on the Appropriations Committee.
