Troy Carter for Congress – Lessons From My Mother

Cleo Fields (born November 22, 1962) is an American attorney and politician who serves in the Louisiana Senate. He represented Louisiana’s 4th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 1993 to 1997 and ran unsuccessfully for governor of Louisiana in 1995.

He serves as a state senator for Louisiana’s 14th State Senate district, a position he held twice before. Fields is a member of the Democratic Party.

On January 23, 2024, Fields announced a campaign to return to Congress after court-ordered redistricting gave Louisiana a second Black-majority and Democratic-leaning seat.
