On April 27, the ACCF proudly hosted House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) for a conversation about the political and economic challenges facing our country.
Congressman Scalise represents the First Congressional District of Louisiana, stretching from the beautiful Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain and the culturally distinct New Orleans suburbs to the vibrant bayous and wetlands abundant in natural resources. He was elected to Congress in 2008 after serving in the Louisiana State Legislature from 1996-2008.
Congressman Scalise serves his colleagues as the House Republican Whip, the second highest position in House Republican leadership. He is known for his reputation as a strong advocate for the principles of fiscal discipline, lower taxes, a robust national defense, and conservative values. He is also known for his resilience and optimism following his critical wounding by an attacker at a congressional baseball practice in 2017.
