Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports expanding tax credits to lower costs for families and prioritizing federal spending for domestic needs like schools, childcare, and small business growth rather than corporate subsidies or foreign aid.
Healthcare
Supports making healthcare more affordable through measures such as expanding tax credits, capping insurance rate hikes, and holding corporations accountable for price gouging to reduce costs for families.
News
Matt Gromlich is in the news because Louisiana’s congressional map has been redrawn, with lawmakers approving a new plan that is expected to favor Republicans and could still face legal challenges. The changes come after the Supreme Court struck down the previous map and forced delays in the state’s House elections. The new map would eliminate one majority-Black district and leave the state with a 5-1 Republican advantage in its U.S. House delegation.
