Tracie Burke for U.S. Senate 2026

My lifeโ€™s work and experiences have prepared me for the U.S. Senate, the upper chamber of Congress that exemplifies Louisiana in the federal government. I understand the key responsibilities of creating laws, confirming presidential nominations, ratifying treaties, and conducting impeachment trials.

An Advocate For All Louisiana Citizens

About Tracie Burke external link

I Founded the Louisiana Civic Coalition.

The Louisiana Civic Coalition is a partnership of civic associations, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. We collaborate and amplify civic efforts towards a better Louisiana.

As President of the Louisiana Civic Coalition, I advocate for all Louisiana citizens. Recently, I took action on behalf of Louisiana Civic Coalition by sending a notice to the USDA and LDH. It warned of class certification and injunctive relief for SNAP participants with disabilities. Fortunately, the Louisiana Department of Health resolved the matter promptly and with intention. SNAP recipients, formerly identified as disabled, are adequately receiving their benefits again.

Here is the link to the Notice. It alleged violations of the Americans With Disabilities Act and Medicaid Act. It explains how the Louisiana Department of Health and USDA committed discrimination related to SNAP benefits for individuals with disabilities.

As U.S. Senator, I will continue to promote laws that protect citizens with disabilities in Louisiana. Feel free to contact me at tracie@tracieburke.com if you need help resolving an issue that is important to you.

About Tracie Burke external link

As U.S. Senator, I will continue to advocate for Anti-SLAPP laws. These statutes protect individuals from strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs). Baseless lawsuits are intended to silence criticism or intimidate those exercising their First Amendment rights. 

Tracie Burke for U.S. Senate 2026– Finding Waste, Fraud, and Abuse of Government Funds

external link

As a whistleblower for the U.S. government, I discovered waste, fraud, and abuse.

On National Whistleblower Day, I expressed my gratitude to the National Whistleblower Center. From Capitol Hill, they recognized me and over 100 others for our work.

Since 2019, my disclosures to the DOJ have turned up considerations, recommendations, investigations, indictments, and prison sentences. I discovered waste, fraud, and abuse all across Louisiana.

As U.S. Senator, I will continue to advocate for the Whistleblower Protection Act and protections for tipsters.

Pandemic Oversight

How PPP Loans Are Tied to Fraudulent Political Contributions

The investigation into loan fraud among disaster recovery recipients and Louisiana politicians highlights concerns about the legitimacy of taxpayer-funded assistance. Over 100 businesses donated politically after receiving nearly $200 million in federal funds. Calls for accountability include repayments from recipients who misused funds. Government scrutiny of fraudulent PPP loans persists.

As a U.S. Senator, I will continue to promote laws that support the False Claims Act, American Anti-Corruption Act. and  Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AMLA).

Justice for Victims of Police Sexual Violence

Most in law enforcement serve us well, some donโ€™t. One of the perpetrators in this disclosure was convicted of two rapes, one in Bossier Parish and one in St. Bernard Parish. These rapes would have been prevented if officials had honored victimsโ€™ requests for charges. But, they made preferential charging decisions as a courtesy to the officers. We are talking about first degree rape.

The article highlights the pervasive issue of police sexual misconduct in Louisiana. Victims face significant barriers to reporting, including intimidation by law enforcement.

As a U.S. Senator, I will continue to advocate for civil remedies under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA).

Identified Lafitte Firefighters Living at the Fire Station

An investigation by the JPOIG confirmed that some volunteer firefighters were living at fire stations. a practice that raised concerns about the use of public funds and oversight. While firefighters typically spend time at the station for shifts, the JPOIG found evidence of full-time residency by some volunteers. The findings have prompted the Parish to focus on issues related to the management and oversight of fire protection services.

As a U.S. Senator, I will remain committed to ridding our communities of misuse of government funds and of government property.

Additionally, I Filed some Ethics Complaints and Inquiries, they are presently confidential. The Campaign Finance abuse I discovered is alarming.

Medicaid Beneficiaries: A Powerful Political Force in Louisiana

As a U.S. Senator, I will continue to promote laws that protect Medicaid participants from discrimination. Additionally, I will promote laws that support the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Medicaid Act and the Rehabilitation Act.

Tracie Burke for U.S. Senate 2026

 Join the Campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana

As a U.S. Senator I will diligently continue to promote laws to rid Louisiana of judicial corruption and fraud before the court. Pervasive judicial corruption causes irreparable legal harm to Louisiana citizens and their families. There is no good reason for a judge to accept money from an attorney who practices in their district.

Discovered Misappropriated Government Resources

Latoya Cantrell Complaint

These documents and emails describe allegations I made through Motion to Quash LLC. I accused Mayor LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans of misappropriating government resources. Specifically, I claimed that Mayor Cantrell violated prohibited franking regulations. She did this by sending emails soliciting campaign donations using government resources, which is illegal under 39 U.S.C. ยง 3210 and related statutes.

I submitted several formal disclosures. The Orleans Parish District Attorney, the Louisiana Board of Ethics, the Ethics House Franking Commission, and other authorities received them. This turned up investigations on the matter. Evidence includes forwarded emails from Mayor Cantrellโ€™s campaign that contain prohibited political solicitations sent to individuals with government contracts.

The document emphasizes that government ethics laws are designed to prevent officials from using their positions for personal political gain. I sought penalties for the alleged violations. The Louisiana Board of Ethics also considered the matter.

Overall, the core issue is that Mayor Cantrell improperly used government resources for political campaign activities. Thus, violating ethics and franking laws.

As a U.S. Senator, I will commit to ridding Louisiana of corruption. I will hold accountable those who misuse federal funds, no matter the political party.

Advocating for Autism

As a U.S. Senator, I will continue to advocate for autistic individuals to protect them from unethical research and protect their privacy.

Programs With Vocational Appeal.

At one time, I was Executive Assistant for Gulf Coast Teaching Family Services and worked as a behavior specialist. I collected data and information from clients with disabilities at the Metropolitan Developmental Center. Additionally, I attended interdisciplinary meetings to collaborate with other professionals to solve problems and improve outcomes.

About Tracie Burke external link

I founded the Hairstylists Association for Individual Rehabilitation (H.A.I.R., Inc.), an extraordinary advance in community service. It has helped thousands of children and adults from many organizations. Namely, American Veterans, Associated Catholic Charities, Autism Society, Childrenโ€™s Hospital, and Gulf Coast Teaching Family Services. Additionally, H.A.I.R. FEST, Louise Davis Center, Louisiana Wishing Well, and Make A Wish Foundation. We also served Metropolitan Developmental Center, Muscular Dystrophy Association, No AIDS Task Force, and Padua House. Efforts include the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Shrinerโ€™s Clown Unit (Emergency Transportation Fund), The Rotary Club, and Wynhoven Independent Living Center.

I created a program for H.A.I.R., Inc that focuses on a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation. This approach enables a participant to reach their highest potential. It provides community based services, programs, and assistance for disabled and troubled youths. This teaching model is the most effective way for individuals to learn life skills. These skills help them live an independent and productive life. Read the HAIR write up here.

As a U.S. Senator, I will work with agencies that offer programs that promote community based services for American citizens.

Pandemic Oversight

The U.S. Government continues to pursue a quiet but active campaign against Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) recipients they believe committed fraud. The government is expected to continue to pursue criminal charges, with a focus on civil False Claims Act cases.

How is corruption perception measured? 

Historically, Motion to Quash publishes the corruption scores before elections. It ranks candidates on a scale from 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt). For consistency, we base the total scores on these three principles:

  1. Campaign contributions issued (5 points)
  2. Campaign contributions received (5 points)
  3. Disclosures/conflicts of interest (5 points)

Only when candidates earn 15 points for the whole package do they score 100 percent. 

Campaigns are dynamic. We welcome your feedback. If you see a candidateโ€™s position has changed, send us an email to info@motiontoquash.org with the new information.

Ethics Scores 24th JDC Election 2024

Ethics scores 24th JDC Election 2024 describes how Scientific research shows campaign contributions are correlated with judgesโ€™ decisions. There is a crisis with the court’s legitimacy in Louisiana. This issue is very salient now for a variety of reasons. There are political concerns, case-related concerns, and financial concerns. 

Damon Cann, a Political Science instructor at Georgia University, conducted a study. It explores whether judges favor attorneys who support their campaigns financially. He shows that campaign contributions are indeed correlated with judgesโ€™ decisions. (Cann, Damon M. โ€œJustice for Sale? Campaign Contributions and Judicial Decision making.โ€ State Politics & Policy Quarterly, vol. 7, no. 3, 2007, pp. 281โ€“97. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/40405604. Accessed 29 Feb. 2024)

Judicial Ethics in Louisiana

Judicial ethics in Louisiana is a pretty hot topic for Motion to Quash LLC. There is discussion about judges taking advantage of elections to promote their own interests. Talks about judges showing favor with attorneys who donate to their campaigns are widespread. There is discussion about making it illegal for judges to accept contributions from attorneys who practice in their district. Join the Campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana here.

The Code of Judicial Conduct highlights a crucial principle. Judges should avoid the appearance of impropriety. 28 USC section 455 โ€“ enacted by Congress, binds them and sets the standard for all the courts.

None of the three candidates for 24th JDC follow the judicial guidelines. They do not adhere when it comes to providing financial support to their campaigns. Jefferson Parish has been out of step with the norms governing Louisiana since Operation Wrinkled Robe. The operation, championed by Jim Letten, proved campaign support in Jefferson Parish was given with criminal intent. It was not for political reasons.

Corruption Scores Jefferson Parish House of Reps Election 2023

An analysis by Motion to Quash LLC reveals corruption concerns among Louisiana House of Representatives candidates, with over $200 million in taxpayer-backed disaster assistance payments linked to political donations. The group’s anti-corruption scorecard shows varied scores among candidates, indicating issues in campaign finance and transparency ahead of the 2023 elections.

Corruption Scores Jefferson Parish House of Reps Election 2023 by Tracie Burke | Motion to Quash LLC | Sept. 22, 2023

According to an analysis of federal government data by Motion to Quash LLC., Louisiana House of Representatives received payments from over 100 entities. These payments amounted to over $200 million dollars in taxpayer-backed Disaster Assistance.

The investigation of loan fraud by PPP loan recipients and Louisiana lawmakers is alarming. Businesses issued large political donations after receiving taxpayer backed pandemic loans. This raises concerns about the legitimacy of their need for assistance.

“Loan recipients made campaign contributions after getting their awards. They should repay the loans,” a spokesperson for Motion to Quash said. “Fraud schemes like this are the costliest for the taxpayers.”

Motion to Quash is a powerful representation of the fight against corruption in Jefferson Parish. The House of Representative Anti Corruption Scorecard serves as a reminder. It highlights the importance of transparency and honesty in our political system. The scorecards give precise and reliable judgment. They offer sound assessment of campaign finance abuse. This is particularly relevant for those interested in the 2023 Elections and the stand against corruption.

Statewide Anti Corruption Scorecards Nov. 2021

By Tracie Burke | Motion to Quash LLC | September 26, 2021

External Link

Integrity is a top issue facing Louisiana voters. Unfair business practices and long standing financial connections are breeding grounds for corruption. See how candidates score on integrity for the November 2021 Statewide/Multi-Parish Elections.

We based the candidate integrity scores on these three principles: Campaign Contributions Issued, Campaign Contributions Received, and Disclosures/Conflicts of Interest. 

Click here to view the SCORECARD. You can download and print the complimentary spreadsheet. Click on the Grades Tab to view each Candidateโ€™s folder.

Internal Link

METHODOLOGY

Candidates are graded on the number of critical issues for anti-corruption. These issues are listed in the candidate scorecard. They are divided into three overarching principles. We believe all of these issues are crucial for candidate integrity. 

We assigned a total possible score of 5 for each principle. For the sake of consistency, we treat individual issues equally. Calculating fewer of these critical issues gets candidates a higher score. Only when they score 15 for the whole package do they score 100 percent.

We compiled candidate information from their campaign websites, in interviews, or from public and private sources. 

Campaigns are dynamic. We welcome your feedbackโ€”if you see a candidateโ€™s position has changed, send us an email to info@motiontoquash.org  with the new information.

Join the Campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana

The Campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana, led by Motion to Quash LLC, seeks to eliminate judicial corruption by prohibiting judges from accepting attorney contributions. The initiative aims to provide citizens with the tools to challenge corrupt judges, ensuring fair trials and restoring integrity to the judicial system. Citizens are encouraged to contact their legislators for support.

Have you ever been affected by a Judge’s decision in Louisiana? Did the decision affect you in such a way that you lost money? Were you left at risk of ongoing abuse? Or were you not allowed to visit your children? Chances are that you have. Did you feel the court was corrupt? The answer to that is probably yes. If so, Motion to Quash LLC has the solution. Join the Campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana.

We want the public to get precise and understandable information. We aim to show what you can do to rid Louisiana of Judicial corruption.

Join the Campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana to help us remedy those problems. Make the process right. Aid in ridding the Louisiana judiciary of bad and corrupt judges.

Harmful Effect of Money in Louisiana Government

Motion to Quash LLC takes action against government corruption and retribution in Louisiana. No one can get a fair trial if judges accept illegal payments from attorneys. Judges are also shielded by retroactive immunity from criminal prosecution.

A significant number of judges in Louisiana accept illegal payments from attorneys in the form of campaign contributions. Motion to Quash LLC is taking steps to pass legislation. The legislation prohibits any judge who receives attorney contributions from continuing to serve in the district where those attorneys practice.

What You Can Do to Rid the Louisiana Judiciary of Bad and Corrupt Judges

There is continuing fraud before the courts in Louisiana and the Louisiana judicial system is in a crisis. This is the underlying story. Judges have corrupted the Louisiana judicial system by receiving illegal contributions and payments to increase their own interests.

The Louisiana Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, and Superior Court Justices know many Louisiana judges are disqualified under law. First, the attorney gave them a criminal payment. The attorney then: (1) appears before them as a party; (2) appears as a witness; or (3) has an interest.

How to Disqualify Your Judge

Responsibility falls on citizens to reclaim our justice system. The method is for qualified litigants to file LA Code Crim Pro 987 based on fraud upon the court. Use the Motion to Set Aside Conviction and Dismiss Prosecution forms. Also, use the Rule to Show Cause and the Order of Dismissal forms. Here is a link to the forms provided by LSAC http://www.lasc.org/rules/City_Parish/Uniform_Forms_for_City_Parish_Courts.pdf

The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States (Article VI, Clause 2)

decorative image

Federal laws offer an opportunity to reverse the judge’s ruling. This allows for working the case to reach its logical conclusion.

The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution establishes the Constitution as the “supreme Law of the Land.” This means that the Constitution holds the highest authority. Federal laws made according to it and treaties under its authority also constitute this supreme law. They thus take priority over any conflicting state laws.

Section 1346 of Title 18, United States Code

Section 1346 of Title 18United States Code provides an intangible right to honest services.  Federal prosecutors have applied the statute in cases of public corruption. They have also applied it in cases where private individuals breached a fiduciary duty to another.

Exercise Your Rights & Contact Your Legislators

decorative image

Motion to Quash LLC is drafting legislation. We are sending it to every legislator. Our goal is to stop any judge from receiving payments from attorneys who practice in the same district. The next step for you, the voters, will be to exercise your rights to contact your legislators. They are your representatives and work for you. Urge them to get the amendment passed. Remember, these payments have affected every aspect of the court system, so now is the time for action.

“If you have been hurt by a judicial decision or by a corrupt judge and you want to do something about it, this is the only thing that you can do. Protesting in the street is not going to get you anywhere. Making music or noise is not going to get you anywhere. Exercising your right will get you somewhere.” – Dr. Richard Fine, Founder, Vote for Justice, Campaign for Judicial Integrity.
