A Stronger Louisiana

The roots of progress have taken hold. Together, we’ll build a stronger Louisiana. #lalege #lagov

Car insurance companies in LA charge women more for auto insurance than men solely because they’re women. Discriminating for insurance based on non-driving factors is ludicrous.

@LouisianaGov believes we should pass SB 11 & prohibit insurance rate setting based on gender.

As we move further into the modern era, the next threat we face will be cyber-attacks & data breaches. SB 152 forms a Cybersecurity Commission to maintain the stability of public services while ensuring the privacy & protection of data.

@LouisianaGov supports these efforts.

HB 485 has received bipartisan support from lawmakers. This bill will make higher ed more affordable for national guard service members.

Education at all levels is a huge priority of @LouisianaGov, this bill will help make it more accessible for our service members.

We should all be working from 9-5 to make sure our children can read! 🤠📚

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library bill will establish a program to encourage reading.

@LouisianaGov & @FirstLadyOfLA have consistently supported legislation to improve literacy.

HB 287 gives insurance holders more transparency over their insurance policies. This legislation would make it harder for insurance companies to get away with modifying reports at hurricane victims’ expense.

@LouisianaGov is dedicated to addressing insurance purgatory.

.@LouisianaGov John Bel Edwards’ budget prioritizes our teachers and students!

Teachers work tirelessly to ensure future generations have the skills they need to thrive. Let's give our educators the $3,000 pay raise they deserve. ✏️

It is imperative that we do more to hold the few officers who violate the public’s trust accountable. That's why I've signed SB 182 by Sen. Fields, which strengthens accountability for law enforcement officers through POST certification revisions. #lagov

As I have always maintained, it is about simple math, basic fairness, and the rule of law.

Black Louisianans make up one third of our population, and one third of our districts should be majority Black when such a map can be drawn, and, as has been demonstrated, that map is more compact, better adheres to the legal principles governing redistricting, and will perform.

[Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov]

Today’s ruling from the Supreme Court is more than a little disappointing. The District Court’s well-reasoned 157 page decision clearly demonstrated that the maps passed by the legislature do not comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. #lagov #lalege

[Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov]

I was proud to sign HB 261 by Rep. Magee, which establishes École Pointe-aux-Chenes, a public French immersion school for grades Pre-K - 4 in lower Terrebonne Parish. The school will preserve the culture, languages, & traditions that make Louisiana unlike any other state. #lagov

Judge Dick again DENIES the request for more time

"This Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit have already denied that request....the Supreme Court indicated that an immediate stay is not warranted..." #lalege #lagov

This past regular legislative session, @LouisianaGov John Bel Edwards helped secure the fifth and largest teacher pay raise since he took office. Help Gov. Edwards keep up the progress by chipping in at https://t.co/ApxXjy1EuE. #lalege #lagov

Hair discrimination is racial discrimination, and discrimination is not a Louisiana value. Rep. Newell's CROWN Act will protect Louisianans from discrimination based on a person's natural, protective, or cultural hairstyle. It is with great pride that I signed it into law. #lagov

Today is World Peace and Prayer Day so take a second to pray for the safety & prosperity of all Louisianans. Our state is facing big challenges like climate change, helping the economy fully recover from the pandemic, and more, but together we can be the solution. #lalege #lagov
