Widow of a U.S. member elect who died before office announced her run for the Senate.
Before the Jan. 3, 2021 swearing in, the Republican caught the coronavirus and died.
Julia, a professor at a local university ran and immediately won her special primary and special general election. She has served the district since 2021. She is dating Kevin Ainsworth, a lobbyist and lawyer from Baton Rogue. He proposed to her around Christmas last year.
Letlow is a reliable vote for President Donald J. Trump.
Now because of this, he has endorsed an intraparty fight between her and current senator of the state, Republican Bill Cassidy.
Both are Zionists and white nationalists. They rather give billions to fund Israel and its genocide. Louisiana ranks 48 of 50 in education. It ranks pretty damn low in infrastructure. They ranks poor in water quality. They ranks poor in poverty.
About 39% of the population is Black. The state is gerrymandered to say least.
The governor is proposing to write out the two Black districts despite the federal courts ordering them to be drawn.
Cassidy is part of the swing. So far, he voted with Trump 97% of the time. He has voted with Biden at least 15% of the time. He voted with Obama at least 10% of the time.
Cassidy voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial. Trump vowed to target Republicans who crossed him. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) has announced his reelection. This announcement of Letlow will likely force him to either face a run off election or a retirement announcement.
Letlow is favored with a 48% chance of winning while Cassidy has a 47% chance.
Trump endorsed her early this year as she was teasing a run.
Letlow arrived at the Louisiana Secretary of State’s Office on Friday to sign up to run, she had to walk past a van with a billboard blasting “Liberal Letlow.” The ad, which accused Letlow of trading hundreds of stocks “like her pal Nancy Pelosi” and calling her a “champion of DEI policy” said it was paid for by Cassidy’s campaign.
The attack ads highlight how ferociously Cassidy, Letlow and Treasurer John Fleming are battling for the mantle of “most conservative” as they seek the GOP nomination in Louisiana’s new closed party primaries.
“I loathe the negativity that has to take place in campaigns,” Letlow said after qualifying Friday, when asked about the attack ads right outside. “I wish that we all could run positive campaigns on our records and our vision and our dreams for Louisiana.”
Letlow also said that “President Trump would never endorse someone who is not a true America-first conservative,” and said she has battled against diversity, equity and inclusion programs as a member of Congress.
Cassidy also officially joined the race Friday. During remarks to reporters in Baton Rouge, he didn’t directly address Letlow.
He said the Senate contest is “about who has a proven track record of delivering for our state, and my track record is far better than anyone else running for this office.”
Fleming also has gone on the offensive. When he signed up to run on Wednesday, he said he was running against “two liberal candidates” and accused Cassidy of flip-flopping on key issues. He also claimed Gov. Jeff Landry had schemed to get Letlow into the race to further his own political ambitions.

Landry later fired back, saying “anyone who makes stuff up like that may not be fit for office.”
Letlow has thrown her own political punches.
On Thursday, she seized on a Fox News story about a Louisiana judge who ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release four detainees from custody.
“The Middle District in Louisiana is one of the most liberal in the country and Bill Cassidy has selected many similar judges during his time in the Senate,” Letlow posted on X. “It is unforgivable that this radical judge forced ICE to release four criminal illegals, already convicted of murder and child sex crimes.”
Landry joined that line of attack on Friday.
“For more than a decade, Bill Cassidy has supported liberal Obama judges,” Landry wrote on X. “Recently, he led the efforts to block the addition of a new conservative federal judge in Louisiana’s Middle District. Instead he has spent his time listening to the Never Trumpers and voting to impeach.”
Cassidy responded to Landry on X: “Jeff — Check your facts. There isn’t a middle court vacancy now and never has been while I’ve been in the Senate.”
Cassidy said he “never voted for a single Obama judicial nominee in Louisiana when I’ve been in the Senate” and that he is “proud of fighting for conservative results for Louisiana.”
