41-year old Luke Letlow, a Republican who was elected to the House of Representatives this month to represent Louisiana’s Fifth Congressional District, died on Tuesday evening of complications from COVID-19, a spokesman said.
Mr. Letlow was set to take office on Sunday January 3rd, 2021. His death was confirmed by several politicians, including Representative Garret Graves of Louisiana, who said in a Facebook post that the death of his friend and “former co-worker” was “a huge loss to Louisiana and America.”
