Republican Representative Clay Higgins successfully secured his seat in the U.S. House for Louisiana during the recent elections held on Tuesday.
Since 2016, Higgins has served as the representative for the 3rd Congressional District, which is known as a Republican stronghold in the state of Louisiana.
He is part of the influential House Freedom Caucus, recognized for its conservative stance, and has been a vocal advocate for former President Donald Trump.
Higgins notably challenged the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, driven by unfounded claims that voter fraud had undermined Trump’s chances of winning.
Before venturing into politics, Higgins gained recognition as a law enforcement officer in Louisiana, where he became known for his viral videos addressing crime.
The announcement of his victory was made at 10:07 p.m. EST, marking another term for the congressman.
