Carter said he voted NO on the House bill and would continue pushing the Senate's bipartisan solution to 'pay our essential workers' and end the shutdown, saying the compromise would 'immediately fund the TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA and our cybersecurity personnel' and 'ensure frontline workers are paid.'

Recent official statement and recorded vote show Carter taking a concrete pro-worker pay action, but it is limited to the DHS shutdown/TSA situation and does not demonstrate delivery of the broader equal-pay/living-wage promise.

The U.S. Department of Labor state minimum wage table shows Louisiana as a state without a higher state minimum wage, leaving covered workers under the federal minimum wage framework. This indicates no broad living-wage policy for all Louisianians had been delivered by July 2, 2026.

Official wage-law data supports the conclusion that Louisiana workers had not received a broad living-wage floor through federal or state law by the assessment date.
