Lisa Ballay has a recorded position on six issues. Each is Civoren's summary of the campaign's own public material, with the source linked.
Cost of Living & Affordability
SupportsAims to lower the cost of living by reducing insurance, housing, energy, and grocery prices, and by putting money back into family budgets through tax relief on tips, overtime, and necessities.
“Insurance, housing, energy, groceries. Washington writes rules that decide what those cost... Lower costs are not a slogan here - they are the reason people leave.”

Energy

“Cheap Energy - Louisiana should be one of the cheapest places in America to power a home.”

Fiscal Responsibility & Budgeting
SupportsSupports reducing government spending, auditing the federal budget, and cutting improper payments - while distinguishing budget fixes from cutting benefits for people who depend on programs.
“The people who built this number are not the people who are going to fix it... this is not a case for cutting the people who depend on these programs. Most of what is wasted is wasted before it ever reaches a person - in the administration, not the benefit.”

Healthcare Access & Affordability
SupportsSupports making healthcare less complicated and expensive through competition, patient choice, and reducing bureaucratic machinery; care should not depend on parish, employer, or paperwork.
“Most of the cost and most of the frustration in American healthcare is not the doctor, and it is not the nurse. It’s the machinery around them... When something isn’t working, you don’t defend it because that’s the way it has always been done. You fix it.”

Housing & Development
SupportsSupports making it easier for working people to buy a first home and increasing housing supply as the solution to expensive housing.
“First Home - Make it easier for working people to buy their first home. Affordable Home - The solution to expensive housing is more housing.”

Taxes
SupportsSupports cutting taxes on everyday working families - no tax on tips, overtime, or necessities - plus simplifying the tax code to one understandable page.
“No Tax on Tips - If a customer leaves it for you, Washington shouldn’t take it. No Tax on Overtime - Working extra hours shouldn’t mean paying extra taxes. No Tax on Necessities - Government shouldn’t make basic survival more expensive. One-Page Tax - If ordinary people can’t understand the tax code, the tax code is broken.”
