Add Big Freedia to the list of folks who want to turn Louisiana from red to blue. The New Orleans Superstar and Queen of Bounce will host a virtual fundraiser for the Louisiana State Democratic Party, Monday October 19. The event, which will feature Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins, candidate for US Senate will be live-streamed on Big Freedia’s website and social media platforms.

“This is a critical time in our nation’s history,” says the performer. “We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity with the upcoming presidential election to take control of our party and send a 34-year-old Harvard lawyer and West Point graduate with three tours in Afghanistan and Iraq to the US Senate. This is why I am so energized to host this fundraiser. It’s a chance to see real change.”

Under the leadership of its new chair, Katie Bernhardt, the Louisiana Democratic Party has endorsed five African-American candidates for Congress and one for the US Senate, for the first time in its history, creating one of the most talented roster in the country.

The fundraiser kicks off 8 p.m. CST, Monday, October 19. Visit Big Freedia’s website, BigFreedia.com and her Facebook and Instagram to attend.

The Louisiana Democratic Party is an affiliate of the National Democratic Party of the United States. For more information, visit:LouisianaDemocrats.org
