375. Candy Christophe for Congress

375. Candy Christophe for Congress. We talked to Candy this week about her campaign to become the Representative for the 5th Congressional District of Louisiana. “I am Sandra ‘Candy’ Shoemaker-Christophe born to high school sweethearts and raised with my sister in the small town of Clinton, Louisiana in a loving home in a blue-collar neighborhood. My community was poor, and this united it more than racially segregating laws could divide it. I am the founder of Re-Entry Solutions, a nonprofit organization. With the support of my husband, Andre, I served as an unpaid Executive Director and Fundraiser for eight years. Re-Entry Solutions is dedicated to assisting citizens to achieve success as they return to their communities. Empowerment services include employment assistance, housing, and local resource connecting. I know that our communities are hurting. I believe that citizens of our state should not have to live life in a state of crisis.”
