VIEW PAC Back Louisiana Outsider Misti Cordell: "This District Doesn't Need Another Career Politician"

Louisiana Republican Party-endorsed candidate receives support from organization focused on electing Republican women to Congress


WEST MONROE, LA - Value In Electing Women PAC (VIEW PAC) is endorsing Misti Cordell for Louisiana’s 5th Congressional District, backing a conservative outsider against a field packed with career politicians.

Cordell already earned the official endorsement of the Louisiana Republican Party in the open-seat race. She is a small-business owner, a two-time Trump delegate, and Chair of the Louisiana Board of Regents - not a sitting lawmaker shopping for the next title.

“VIEW PAC has spent decades helping elect Republicans who will fight for our values,” Cordell said. “I am a fighter who understands rural Louisiana and will not back down. Our district does not need another self-serving politician looking for his next title. I am honored to have VIEW PAC’s support as we take this campaign to November 3.”

Julie Conway, Executive Director of VIEW PAC, said: “Misti Cordell is not a career politician. She is a proven conservative leader - a businesswoman, a two-time Trump delegate, and the Chair of the Louisiana Board of Regents - who will fight for Louisiana families instead of the Washington swamp. VIEW PAC is proud to stand behind her 100 percent.”

Cordell framed the race as America First versus the Status Quo. “Career politicians talk conservative at election time and fold the minute they hit the Beltway,” Cordell said. “Louisiana needs a fighter who works for the people who sent her - not the good ole boys cutting deals behind closed doors.”

VIEW PAC was founded in 1997 by Republican women to elect more Republican women to Congress. The group has helped direct more than $47 million to those campaigns - including Senator Katie Britt, Representative Julia Letlow, and other leaders across the country.
