CENTRAL LOUISIANA, La. (KALB) - Created through House Concurrent Resolution 10 (HCR 10) of the 2021 Legislative Session, the Central Louisiana Delegation Caucus (CLDC) held its first meeting earlier this month.
CLDC includes both House members and Senators from the Parishes of Allen, Avoyelles, Catahoula, Concordia, Grant, LaSalle, Natchitoches, Rapides, Red River, Sabine, Vernon and Winn Parishes.
