Honorable Bill Cassidy

Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014, Bill Cassidy serves on the Finance Committee, the Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions Committee (HELP), the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and the Veterans Affairs Committee.

Following his successful efforts to lower the cost of health care, secure coastal restoration projects to protect Louisiana families from natural disasters, reform our nation’s mental health system, and secure many other legislative accomplishments, Bill was reelected in 2020 to his second term in the U.S. Senate.  In 2023, he became Ranking Member of the Senate HELP Committee. He is the first physician to sit as HELP Ranking Member or Chairman since 1933, when it was called the Education and Labor Committee.

Senator Cassidy is married to Dr. Laura Cassidy, and they have three children and one grandchild. Laura is a retired general surgeon specializing in breast cancer. She helped found a public charter school to teach children with dyslexia. The Cassidy family attends church at the Chapel on the Campus in Baton Rouge.
