I’m John Day, a Veteran running for Congress in the 3rd District of Louisiana.

I'm running to represent the people who don’t have lobbyists. The people who work, raise kids, serve, build, teach, nurse, weld, drive, and clean up after storms. I’m running to prove that politics can still be about service—and that in Louisiana’s 3rd District, we can put Americans first, party second, and finally get representation we can be proud of.

John Day for Congress

Listening to Everybody. Fighting for Everyone.

Americans First. Louisiana First.

Government should work for the people — not the parties.

I’m running to deliver results you can feel at home: lower costs, better pay, safer communities, and real storm protection — with honesty, accountability, and respect for taxpayers.

That means protecting your freedom to make your own personal medical decisions, defending the dignity and worth of every person, and building a Louisiana where opportunity is real for everyone willing to work for it.

It also means an all-of-the-above energy strategy — supporting the oil and gas jobs that power our economy and investing in renewable energy to lower costs, strengthen our grid, and secure our future.

No drama. No labels. Just work.

Why John Day?

Why is John Day the best candidate to take on Clay Higgins?

Louisiana’s 3rd District needs a Democrat who can do more than make a statement — we need a Democrat who can build a coalition, win elections, and deliver results.

A moderate, working-class Democrat for LA-03

My campaign is built around AMERICANS FIRST — a practical, moderate blue agenda centered on working people

The bridge between fine print and people

I’ve worked in industries where “fine print” can decide whether a family gets help or gets denied — insurance, finance, healthcare, and business.

A district-wide campaign, not a one-parish campaign

I’m from Lake Charles, and I’m building a real ground game across the entire district — Calcasieu, Lafayette, Iberia, and every parish in between.

A Practical Plan to Build What Works

Americans First. Louisiana First.

Working people first. South Louisiana first. Party second.
In Louisiana’s 3rd District, most people aren’t looking for ideological fights. They want a fair shot: a paycheck that stretches, an insurance system that isn’t rigged, healthcare you can actually use, safe communities, and a government that shows up when storms hit.

Cost of Living & Economy

Lower everyday costs. Raise take-home pay. Support Louisiana jobs — from oil and gas to small business — while investing in renewable energy to lower bills and keep our economy competitive.

Healthcare Close to Home

Care you can access. Costs you can afford. Protect your right to make your own medical decisions, expand rural care, and put patients — not politicians — in charge of healthcare.

Housing and Home Affordability

Keep families in their homes. Support first-time buyers. Everyone deserves a fair shot — and to be treated with basic human dignity and respect, no matter who they are.

Insurance That Works

Fair rates. Clear rules. Faster claims. Hold insurance companies accountable and make sure homeowners actually get the coverage they pay for when storms hit.

Freedom & Rights

Government should not control your body, your healthcare, or your personal life. I will defend individual freedom, bodily autonomy, and human dignity — for everyone.

REAL SOLUTIONS

How WE win in Louisiana’s 3rd District

We win the same way South Louisiana has always won: by sticking together, showing up, and outworking everyone. Not with national talking points. Not with Twitter politics. With neighbors talking to neighbors, with real solutions, and with a campaign that earns trust parish by parish.

Knocking doors. Making calls. Showing up.

We build the largest turnout operation in Calcasieu, Lafayette, Iberia, and every parish in between. Elections are won by conversations — not commercials.

Americans First. Party Second.

We focus on insurance, jobs, healthcare, storm protection, and cost of living — the issues families actually feel every day.

Democrats + Independents + Working Families

This district isn’t ideological — it’s practical. We unite teachers, oilfield workers, small business owners, nurses, and veterans around common-sense solutions.

Results You Can Feel at Home

Flood protection, faster FEMA response, fair insurance rates, and real coastal resilience — not headlines, but hard work.

Grow Louisiana — Don’t Outsource It

Apprenticeships, skilled trades, port expansion, energy workforce support, and film production jobs across the district.

Show Up. Do the Work.

No drama. No Twitter politics. Just serious leadership focused on governing and delivering for families.

SERVICE

My Paw Paw was a Democrat

— not because he was loyal to a label, but because he was loyal to working people. To him, politics wasn’t a sport or a show, it was a SERVICE.
