Dr. Bill Cassidy is the United States Senator for Louisiana.
Bill grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and attended Louisiana State University (LSU) for undergraduate and medical school. In 1990, Bill joined LSU Medical School teaching medical students and residents at Earl K. Long Hospital, a hospital for the uninsured.
As a member of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, one of my top priorities is ensuring that students have access to quality educations.
Parents and teachers, not federal bureaucrats, make the best education decisions for students. High standards yield high achievement, and parents should have a right to choose the best educational opportunities for their children. These options include homeschooling, private and parochial schools, charter schools, and public schools.
