Political newcomer and former Louisiana Deputy Clay Higgins won Louisiana’s 3rd Congressional District. He replaces U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, who held the seat for 12 years but gave it up for an unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate in this election cycle.
Well known for his Crime Stopper Videos from his tenure at the St. Landry Parish, he resigned from the Sheriff’s Office in February and joined the Lafayette City Marshall’s Office a few weeks later as a Reserve Deputy.

A few weeks after making the below video challenging a street gang and calling them out for their crimes, Higgins unexpectedly resigned his job. Citing his faith and respect for the Sheriff, Higgins promised that he would continue serving.
There was national interest in the Congressional Race and Higgins routinely updated his fans via social media.
This weekend all of the questions were answered. Cajun John Wayne, as he is known by his fans, will be going to Washington D.C.
