Ep. 63: Cleo Fields

One of the most storied names in Louisiana politics — Cleo Fields — is the guest for Episode 63 of the LaPolitics Report podcast. A former and current member of the Louisiana Legislature's upper chamber, Fields is the chair of the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee. That's the panel that drafted Louisiana's new Black-majority congressional district, which Fields intends to run for this fall. He discusses his humble upbringing in Port Allen, having a judge for a brother and the mom that raised them both. Plus, Fields weighs in on the proposed constitutional convention and his relationships with late Gov. Edwin Edwards and current Gov. Jeff Landry.
