Sen. Cassidy Launches Reelection with $9M Fund

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy launched his reelection campaign at Drago’s Seafood Restaurant in Metairie, Louisiana, reaffirming his commitment to tackling the state's and nation’s pressing challenges. Cassidy, who has served in the Senate since 2014 and was reelected in 2020, enters the race with over $2.1 million raised in the last quarter and a record $9 million campaign fund. He has secured endorsements from prominent Senate Republicans, including Majority Leader John Thune and Senator Tim Scott. Despite past criticism for his 2021 vote to convict former President Trump, Cassidy has worked to repair relations, and Trump recently praised him for his work on health and opioid legislation. Cassidy faces a competitive Republican primary with challengers such as State Treasurer John Fleming and State Senator Blake Miguez. The Senate election is scheduled for November 2025 and will use partisan primaries instead of the former 'jungle' primary system.
