I am thrilled to announce my candidacy for the United States Senate, representing Louisiana’s 6th District, to replace Senator Bill Cassidy. I am running under the America Party, officially recognized by the Louisiana Secretary of State and the United States Election Commission.Over the past few months, I have been engaging with supporters across Louisiana’s 6th District, reconnecting with those who backed my campaigns for Commissioner of Agriculture as a Democrat in 2011 (267,000 supporters) and as a Republican in 2015 (80,000 supporters). I am honored to report that many of these supporters, across party lines, have pledged their support for my Senate campaign.In my previous campaigns, I never accepted a single penny, relying instead on grassroots efforts—knocking on doors, attending fairs and events, and visiting farms and families. This old-fashioned hard work resonates with my supporters. For this election, I will not ask for individual contributions or yard signs, though I may accept funding from the America Party or its affiliates.If elected, I have a bold agenda to address critical issues. Visit www.jamielabranche.com or follow me on the X Platform for more details. My key priorities include:
Economic and Agricultural Reform: Eliminate outdated 1942 Acts of Congress that prevent growing certain crops in the United States. This will create jobs, support farmers with new crops, and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains for medicines. Since 1967, companies like Johnson & Johnson have grown certain medicinal crops in Australia, driving up costs through middlemen. I support “Drill, Baby, Drill” to regain U.S. energy and economic independence across all sectors, including allowing Big Pharma to establish domestic refining operations.
Criminal Justice Reform: End taxpayer-funded defense attorneys for criminals. Those who choose to break the law will need to secure their own legal representation, saving an estimated $200 billion annually.
Natural Disaster Protections: In the wake of Hurricane Ida, which devastated Louisiana, including St. John Parish, foreclosure mills have exploited homeowners displaced by natural disasters. I will introduce a bill to ban foreclosures for three years following a natural disaster, giving residents time to rebuild without losing their homes.
Judicial Accountability: I will propose legislation to overhaul the federal and state judicial systems, holding judges accountable for their actions and eliminating rulings based on political favors or party lines. Special provisions will protect litigants from exploitation by corrupt judges and court clerks.
Stay tuned for additional legislative proposals as I continue meeting with supporters.

The Louisiana "Overkill" Public Defense Network includes 850 attorneys who represent 146,000 people annually, accounting for 88% of criminal defendants in Louisiana. This system burdens taxpayers, as some criminals, arrested 30 or more times, receive free legal representation. On my first day in office, this free ride ends! Additionally, "profit prisons" will face rigorous audits. I want offenders to have a fair shot at freedom, but the corrupt system—where some attorneys collude with profit-driven prisons and receive kickbacks based on sentence lengths—must be dismantled. In many cases, defendants may be better off representing themselves pro se.The Public Records Accountability Bill will end the era of hiding or refusing to release records to protect insiders. Record books across the state will be open to Louisiana residents, with no more court costs for fighting disclosure and penalties for violations.During my campaign, I met a man who said he had to choose between buying medicine and food. We must lift the 1942 Acts of Congress banning the cultivation of certain medicinal plants and other medical options. By cutting red tape, we can achieve U.S. independence in affordable medicine production, create new industry jobs, and provide farmers with higher per-acre returns.
