Louie strongly supports the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 and has urged the Food and Drug Administration to approve the drug as an official treatment. In April 2020, he was criticized after falsely claiming that Germany had invented a ”mist” that killed the coronavirus.

Louie tested positive for COVID-19 on July 29, 2020, a day after he appeared before the House Judiciary Committee without wearing a mask. In an interview, he suggested that he might have contracted the disease from wearing a mask.

After Louie learned of his positive test, he went to his aides emailed Politico with criticism, commenting that ”Louie requires full staff to be in the office, including three interns, so that ‘we could be an example to America on how to open up safely’ and that ‘people were often berated for wearing a mask’.

Louie worked in the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps, at Fort Benning, Georgia, form 1978 – 1982. The majority of his legal service in the U.S. Army was a defense attorney. Louie was elected a state district judge for Texas’s 7th Judicial District, working Smith County from 1992 – 2002. He was elected to three terms.

He first saw national recognition for a 1996 probation requirement where he ordered an H.I.V. positive man, who was convicted on motor vehicle theft charges, to seek the written consent from al;l future sexual. The order angered LGBT activists and civil libertarians.

Elections

A mid-decade redistricting made the 1st District significantly more conservative than its predecessor. Tyler, which had long anchored the 4th District, was shifted to the 1st District. In the 2004 Republican primary, Louie defeated State Representative Wayne Christian of Center, Texas.

He defeated Democrat incumbent 1st District Congressman Max Sandlin in a landslide with 61% of the vote. He has never again faced another contest that closes and has been reelected seven times, never dropping below 689 percent of the vote. He only faced an independent in 2008, and a Libertarian in 2010.

Louie handle won his seventh term in the general election held on November 8, 2016. With 192,434 votes (73.9%), he defeated Democrat Shirley J. McKellar, who pooled 62,847 ballots (24.1%). Libertarian Phil Gray polled 5,062 votes (1.9%).

Tenure

On July 29, 2009, Louie signed on as a co-sponsor of the defeated H.R. 1503. This bill would have amended ”the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of president to include with the committee’s statement of organizations a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the office of president under the Constitution.

Louie stated in an Houe Judiciary Hearing on May 15, 2013, that he believed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not act with due diligence concerning alleged bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev. His contention was that the FBI was more interested in Christian groups such as those led by Billy and Franklin Graham than in groups that might be considered less politically.

‘The only observation I was going to make is that you state as a matter of fact what the FBI did and did not do. Unless somebody has done something inappropriate, you cannot know what I know. That’s all”.

Louie objected to this on the grounds that Holder had ”challenged” his character and made various unsuccessful attempts to inject his viewpoint as a point of personal privilege. On January 3, 2013, Louie broke ranks with the House leadership to nominate outspoken Florida Representative Allen West for Speaker of the House, although West narrowly lost his bid for re-election in November 2012, and was no longer a member of Congress.

Although he has previously ruled out the possibility of a bid for the U.S. Senate, he has recently been boosted by at least one ”tea party” group as a primary challenger to current Republican Senator John Cornyn. A vocal critic of House Speaker John Boehner, Louie challenged his re-election to the speakership for the 114th Congress when Congress convened on January 6, 2015. Boehner was re-elected, even though 25 Freedom Caucus Republicans chose not to vote for him, Louie received 3 of those votes.

In 2007, Louie expressed fear that he might become the target of gun violence similar to that experienced by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and refused to hold public town hall meetings.

In April 2018, Louie testified at hearing supporting Derrick Miller, a former US Army National Guardsman Sergent who was sentenced to life in prison with the chance of parole for the premeditated murder of an Afgan civilian during a battlefield interrogation.
