Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports lower taxes, pro-business policies, and shrinking the size of government; emphasizes budgeting experience and strategic reductions to government agencies. Positions prioritize tax cuts and reduced government spending rather than expansion of social programs.
Healthcare
The candidate has described defending funding for the Office of Elderly Affairs and emphasizes experience managing government budgets for agencies that touch seniors’ services, but has not published a comprehensive health-care platform or clear policy prescriptions on insurance, Medicaid, or major health reforms. Available public materials highlight fiscal stewardship and protecting certain elder services rather than specific positions on the Affordable Care Act, Medicare expansion, or privatization.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports a pro-life position that would only allow abortion when medically necessary to save the life of the mother and opposes public funding for abortion providers. Describes opposition to abortion access beyond life-saving exceptions and identifies as pro-life in campaign materials.
Climate & Energy
The candidate supports fossil fuel development and views stricter environmental regulations as harmful to jobs and the economy; she explicitly supports the use of hydraulic fracturing. Her public materials emphasize pro-business, lower-tax positions rather than aggressive climate regulations or major clean-energy mandates.
News
Monique Appeaning is in the news because Louisiana has moved ahead with a new congressional map after a court ruling weakened protections for majority-Black districts. The biggest change is that the state’s 6th District has been dismantled, which could reshape the race and may help Republicans if the map survives legal challenges. More broadly, Louisiana is part of a wider redistricting push across several Southern states following the Supreme Court decision.
