U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins is the most unconventional member of Louisiana's congressional delegation, perhaps in all of Congress. He demonstrated as much by inviting himself onto LaPolitics' "Capitol Gains" video series, hosting publisher-editor Jeremy Alford at his "humble abode" in Port Barre.
"The idea was, hey, show up at Clay Higgins' house, drink a couple of beers, grill some meat, film it and see what happens," Alford says in introducing the segment.
The video, posted May 19, shows the first-term Republican in a dark T-shirt and casual pants showing off three of his dogs -- Leonidas, Zeus and Cecilia -- and the garage where he keeps his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He tells stories about boxing, his martial arts studio, what it was like to lose his father, wife and daughter to death in three years, how he became a Kentucky colonel and the fact that while in Washington he beds down at night in his House office.
Among Congress' 435 representative and 100 senators, Higgins professes to be of modest means. "If I'm not No. 535 on the income list, somebody has skewed the results," he says.
Like all members of the House, Higgins is up for re-election this year. At this point, he faces six announced or rumored opponents.
