Biography

Glen Clay Higgins (born August 24, 1961) is an American politician and reserve law enforcement officer from the state of Louisiana. A Republican, Higgins is the U.S. representative for Louisiana's 3rd congressional district. The district, which contains much of the territory once represented by former governor Edwin Edwards and former U.S. senator John Breaux, is in the southwestern corner of the state and includes Lafayette, Lake Charles, and New Iberia. Higgins won the runoff election on December 10, 2016, defeating fellow Republican Scott Angelle. As well as being an elected official, Higgins continues to hold a law enforcement commission in a reserve capacity with the Louisiana attorney general's office. Higgins has appeared and spoken at events organized by groups such as the Three Percenters and the Oath Keepers, and has claimed to be a "Three Percenter" at speaking engagements. He is a member of the House Freedom Caucus, and critics argue that his views are far-right. Higgins was the sole member of Congress to vote against the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
