During Senator Stine’s brief tenure, he has returned over $535,112,448 of your hard-earned tax dollars back to Calcasieu Parish. 

“Thanks to the partnership with our Southwest Louisiana Delegation, our efforts resulted in over $102,369,938 delivered this year alone. We secured $800 million to put toward a new Calcasieu River bridge, and we’re nowhere near close to finished yet,” Stine said. 

This past legislative session, Senator Stine successfully passed legislation focused on simplifying burdensome tax requirements, enabling health insurance coverage for genetic testing, implementing laws to protect our children from digital predators, and allowing for increased transparency and approval for healthcare provider services.
