Why “Doc“ Jamar Montgomery?
An Unapologetic Voice
Leadership is the service you provide, not the position you hold. My life has been dedicated to service- from teaching young people their rights as a political science professor, then defending their rights as a juvenile public defender, to supporting our warfighters as a weapon systems engineer. I put people and the mission first, and it is my mission to serve the people of Louisiana to the best of my talents and abilities.
A Diligent Advocate
I want to be the Senator that you call when you have an issue, especially one that’s being ignored. A major issue affecting Louisiana, especially seniors, is identity theft. Last year alone, there were over 5,000 confirmed complaints of identity thefts in Louisiana. I want to be the Senator that works with federal and state offices to bring the necessary resources, solutions, and justice to the problems we all face.
