WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), recently honored Louisiana business owner and French Settlement Mayor Jeremy Aydell during his monthly Local Spotlight. Aydell's advocacy played a crucial role in shaping federal tax policy when he requested the inclusion of beauticians in President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Bill in June 2024. This significant change allows beauticians to benefit from tax cuts, highlighting the importance of small business voices in legislative matters.
Senator Cassidy emphasized the impact of local leaders like Aydell, who actively engage with their representatives to drive positive change. The senator's initiative aims to showcase stories that reflect the spirit and resilience of Louisiana communities. Aydell's recognition not only underscores his commitment to supporting local businesses but also serves as an inspiration for others to advocate for their industries. Cassidy's Local Spotlight continues to shine a light on the contributions of Louisiana residents making a difference at the national level.
