The parade route was surrounded by thousands of people and helped local businesses across the city. Beforehand, Cassidy spoke at an opening ceremony where he congratulated the Shingletons and others involved for their efforts. “St. Patrick’s Day, the Shingletons brought it to Baton Rouge,” said Dr. Cassidy. “It means family and fun and a beautiful day at home.” Others who were at the opening ceremony included Grand Marshal Jim Cantore with The Weather Channel and Catholic Bishop of Baton Rouge Michael Duca, among others. Cassidy was introduced at the ceremony by State Representative Dixon McMakin, who said the following: “Over these years, we are blessed and lucky to have Senate and Congressional leadership capable of putting petty politics to the side, and focus on winning for Louisiana,” said Rep. McMakin. “Since 2015, [Cassidy] has utilized his talents and abilities to focus on healthcare, energy, [and] delivering over $10 billion dollars for our great state. He’s passed legislation on mental health, tax cuts, the HALT Fentanyl Act, and the 2025 Social Security Fairness Act.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-03-30T11:08:25Z |
