WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Representative Julia Letlow (R-La.) released the following statements on Leader Scalise's legislation to designate the U.S. Post Office in Rayville, La., in honor of the late Congressman-elect Luke Letlow being signed into law:
 
“On behalf of the entire Louisiana delegation, I am honored to see our bill signed into law to memorialize the legacy of public service Luke Letlow left behind by naming a post office in his beloved Richland Parish after him. What I remember most about Luke is that he had a faithful heart, a passion for serving his community, and such positive energy every single day. This post office will ensure his legacy continues to shine on and inspire others to take up public service in their communities,” said Leader Scalise.
 
“Our family is deeply touched and humbled that the bill renaming the Rayville Post Office has officially been signed into law as the ‘Luke Letlow Post Office Building.' I’m grateful to my Louisiana colleagues for their support in honoring Luke’s legacy, in particular Leader Scalise for introducing this legislation. I know Luke would consider it the recognition of a lifetime to have the Post Office named in his honor, and our family is immensely proud to officially see this fitting memorial to his legacy in the place we call home,” said Rep. Letlow.
