John Fleming: podcast appearances and interviews

John Fleming is an American politician and physician with a background as a naval officer. He previously served as a Republican Congressman representing Louisiana's 4th congressional district from 2009 to 2017. Before his congressional tenure, Fleming worked as a family doctor and was involved in business activities. During his time in the House of Representatives, he contributed to legislative processes and was part of the political landscape in Louisiana. After leaving Congress, Fleming held several roles in the executive branch, including appointments by President Donald Trump as deputy assistant secretary for health information technology reform and as assistant secretary of commerce for economic development. He also served as a White House aide, functioning as deputy chief of staff and assistant to the President for planning and implementation. In 2023, Fleming was elected as Louisiana treasurer, a position he assumed following a runoff victory with over 65% of the vote. As of December 2024, he announced his candidacy for the United States Senate in 2026. Both Fleming and Julia Letlow, with Trump’s endorsement, defeated incumbent senator Bill Cassidy in the primary, but neither secured an outright majority, leading to a runoff held on June 27, which Fleming lost to Letlow. In addition to his political roles, Fleming is associated with Carry-Out Killarney, a local business.
