Tracie Burke for U.S. Senate 2026
My life’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
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.

As a journalist, I write for my website Motion to Quash LLC, an alternative news site. You are here.
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
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 don’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 victims’ 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.

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. § 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 Cantrell’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.
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, Children’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, Shriner’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.
