(AP) — Funeral services will be held later today for a Louisiana congressman-elect who died from COVID-19 complications.
Republican Luke Letlow died Tuesday.
He was 41, and his swearing-in had been scheduled Sunday.
The News-Star reports that his funeral will be at North Monroe Baptist Church. The family says all COVID-19 restrictions will be followed and masks will be required.
North Monroe Baptist will livestream the 2 p.m. service on its social media platforms.
Letlow is survived by his wife, Julia Letlow, and their children — 3-year-old Jeremiah and 1-year-old Jacqueline.
Governor John Bel Edwards has said he will order flags flown at half-staff on today.
