Congressman Cleo Fields released the following statement regarding his decision about the upcoming congressional election:
"After a great deal of prayer and reflection, I have decided to seek re-election to Congress in the 6th District or any other district in Louisiana. Instead, I will be running to fill the unexpired term for the State Senate in the 14th District. I feel my calling to serve the people is better put to use back home than here in D.C., and I intend to answer that call."
Congressman Fields will hold a press conference this Friday at 10 am in Baton Rouge, with more details on his decision.
