Join Marvin for an interview with Congressman Cleo Fields

Cleo Fields is a Democratic congressman representing Louisiana in the U.S. House of Representatives. Born Nov. 22, 1962, in Baton Rouge, Fields earned a bachelor’s degree and law degree from Southern University.

He was first elected to the Louisiana State Senate in 1987 at age 24, becoming one of the youngest lawmakers in state history. In 1992, he won election to Congress, serving two terms before returning to state politics. Fields later mounted a historic 1995 campaign for governor, advancing to the runoff.

After years in state government and community leadership, Fields returned to Congress in 2025. He is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and has focused on economic opportunity, voting rights and education.
