387½. Martin Lemelle for Congress

387½. Martin Lemelle for Congress. We interview Martin Lemelle about his campaign to be the Congressman from the 5th District of the great state of Louisiana. Martin Lemelle is truly a son of the great state of Louisiana; a native of Lincoln Parish with familial roots in St. Landry Parish, educated in public and state schools here in Louisiana, served in the Louisiana higher education system for the past four years and is now standing up to take action to provide the 5th Congressional District the leader and solutions it deserves. “The 5th Congressional District deserves a person who’s ready for the long-term; Someone who will invest in this state, implement data-driven solutions that results in growth, and serve as a unifier to bring everyone to the table to move the district and Louisiana forward”
