Congressman Troy Carter Talks Redistricting and Louisiana Seafood Industry Concerns

Congressman Troy Carter joined Talk 107.3 to discuss Louisiana’s redistricting debate and concerns over foreign seafood imports hurting local shrimpers. Carter said lawmakers should focus on demographics, compact districts, and keeping communities together when drawing congressional maps. He also warned that changing maps outside the normal census cycle creates instability for businesses and voters. Carter later shifted to Louisiana’s seafood industry, saying he’s working with Congressman Clay Higgins on a federal investigation into unfair foreign seafood trade practices. He argued imported seafood often competes under weaker standards while Louisiana shrimpers follow strict regulations. Carter said stronger enforcement could help protect Louisiana jobs, consumers, and one of the state’s biggest industries.
