Congressman Garret Graves Joins Kiran Chawla on this episode of Louisiana Unfiltered and discusses his tenure representing Louisiana in Washington, D.C., focusing on the repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which negatively impact public sector employees by reducing their Social Security benefits. 

He highlights the strong support for his repeal bill, which has over 325 co-sponsors, and details negotiations with the House Ways and Means Committee to advance it.  Graves also addresses Baton Rouge's traffic issues, outlining significant infrastructure projects aimed at improving congestion. He reflects on his decision not to seek re-election due to redistricting concerns, shares insights from his decade-long service, and expresses pride in achievements like the Comite Diversion Canal project. As he anticipates life beyond Congress, Graves conveys both anxiety and hope for future endeavors while emphasizing his commitment to Louisiana's progress.
