SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – On Saturday afternoon, Senator Bernie Sanders packed the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium as part of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.
Opening remarks were met with cheers as former Shreveport City Councilwoman LeVette Fuller approached the podium to welcome those in the auditorium. Fuller called Shreveport a blue city in a ruby-red state and highlighted how the House reconciliation bill, or “One Big Beautiful Bill,” is detrimental to Louisiana.
Residents shared their personal experiences navigating the ever-changing federal landscape, specifically as it relates to healthcare costs and their choices to seek or avoid medical care due to exorbitant fees, and the toll those choices are taking on their families.
