Michael Mebruer

Michael Mebruer's traveling medical work has taken him from major cities to Alaska's Arctic tundra.¹ When he talks about federal debt, he also talks about his nieces and nephews, whose future he says helps explain his concern about financial stability.¹

A graduate of West Feliciana High School, Mebruer earned a master's degree in financial economics from LSU.¹² He says his work around the country has shaped his interest in how large systems function and how government decisions affect ordinary people.¹ His campaign presents deficit reduction and financial reform as central reasons for seeking federal office.²

Mebruer supports restructuring major entitlement programs, simplifying the tax code, closing unnecessary loopholes and reducing federal bureaucracy.³ In healthcare, he favors greater reliance on competing private plans for seniors and more state flexibility in Medicaid, combined with private insurance options.³ He also calls for mandatory employment verification nationwide and penalties for employers who knowingly hire people without legal authorization to work.³ He opposes abortion and says policy should support mothers, children and families.³

He says he is financing the campaign personally and is not accepting donations.² His opponents include Monique Appeaning and Pat Forbes.⁴ Louisiana's November 3 open primary places the candidates on a common ballot, with a December 12 runoff possible.⁵
