Carbon capture isn’t just about the pipelines, the land grabs, or turning parts of Louisiana into a dumping ground for CO₂. It’s about YOUR tax dollars. Every taxpayer is helping fund billions of dollars in 45Q subsidies for the carbon capture industry. If Washington has billions available to hand out to carbon capture companies, then we’re taxing hardworking Americans far too much. My first bill in the U.S. Senate will repeal the 45Q tax credit. I’ve spent my life serving Louisiana as a Navy veteran, physician, businessman, Congressman, and founder of the House Freedom Caucus. Louisiana needs a Senator who will fight for taxpayers—not special interests. Only 2 days remain to early vote — Thursday and Saturday. No early voting Friday. Election Day is June 27. I’d be honored to earn your vote. #LouisianaFirst #Repeal45Q
