Congressional candidate Stephen Wagley recently joined Talk 107.3 to discuss his campaign for Louisiana’s newly redrawn 6th Congressional District. Wagley entered the race after redistricting centered the district around Baton Rouge. As a local businessman, husband, and father, Wagley brings a private-sector perspective to pressing economic challenges.
Lowering Taxes and Cutting Wasteful Spending
Wagley identified the rising cost of living and heavy tax burdens as primary concerns for Louisiana families. Furthermore, he emphasized that government spending must be reined in through strict fiscal discipline. “We’ve got to find ways where we can cut spending,” Wagley stated. He pointed out that eliminating fraud and wasteful spending will allow the federal government to reduce the national debt, curb inflation, and ultimately lower taxes for working Families.
Fighting for Constitutional Principles
In addition to economic reform, Wagley stressed the importance of defending foundational American values. Consequently, he advocated for stronger constitutional education in schools to counter socialist and communist ideologies. He believes elected officials must actively stand up for free-market principles and individual liberties.
Building Relationships in Congress
When asked about his strategy for Capitol Hill, Wagley highlighted the necessity of teamwork. Additionally, he noted that Louisiana’s congressional delegation holds significant leadership positions, including the Speaker of the House. He expressed eagerness to learn from experienced colleagues while working across the aisle to address national debt and inflation.
With early voting approaching, Wagley continues his grassroots campaign across the district, urging voters to visit his website to review his platform.
