Clay Higgins rose to national prominence as a tough-talking Louisiana sheriff's deputy whose dramatic crime-stoppers videos went viral, earning him the nickname "Cajun John Wayne." The former law enforcement officer and military veteran brings his no-nonsense persona to Congress, where he's known for his staunch conservative positions and colorful rhetoric. Higgins has been a vocal supporter of Second Amendment rights, border security, and law enforcement, while also advocating for Louisiana's oil and gas industry and coastal restoration efforts.
