I was honored to represent the residents of District 9 in the Louisiana State Senate. My concentrations were education and economic development

@tegbridges @theadvocatebr you forgot the most important one......or people that shouldn't have been registered in the first place

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

@JayJaymorris3 The 19th and early 20th centuries saw the US as a melting pot, immigrant & extant cultures blending. Modern Democrats encourage division, especilally racial & ethinic division, and decry "whiteness". But in effect "whiteness" today is the blended culture of all those immigrants.

@MikeBayham Hah, that shows where your mind is!

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

Paris was the personification of the message from Homer, unfettered passion leads to bad outcomes....Hector was the hero and died the traditional honorable death reserved for heroes

[Mike Bayham @MikeBayham]

@aelfred_D I thought Paris was?

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

@theadvocatebr The media should report on who receives the most money from trial lawyers. That would give voters a good idea where their insurance rates would go if that candidate wins

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

The question must be why are these people coming here to visit, only to go home to where they believe they have a better shot at prosperity? Ask how many companies and jobs these tourists stay here with because they can make profits and keep them?

[Kyle M. France 🇺🇸🇭🇷 @whiskeyoaks]

New Orleans tourists hit highest number since 2019, set spending record. See the data. https://t.co/90zRXqO2lO

@AlbyDurer Too bad, that's a lot of people out of work

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

It seems like every morning when I read the news, another restaurant is closing in New Orleans. My suspicion is that though the atmosphere and food may be great, these places violate the fundamental rule of real estate, location, location, location

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

I was under the impression that that the New Orleans Clerk of Court was a state agency. If so how can the Council call for a special election? Doesn't that also fly in the face of their own argument about disenfranchising voters who elected the current Clerk? Am I wrong?

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

The bad outcome of clinging to Louisiana populism while ignoring economic reality for decades

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

With the controversy about reform in New Orleans, we must evaluate legislation only through the lens of two criteria, is current policy effective and efficient; if not, does proposed law make it so? If you think about it, all government should operate that way.

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

The way to bend the education outcomes curve follows reform, high standards, and accountability. Commitment by legislators is fundemental. We must all thank Chairmen Schlegal and Edmonds for their vision and courage, accepting the premise that all Louisiana kids can learn.

[Rep. Laurie Schlegel @RepSchlegel]

Louisiana has made huge strides in education! Great clip with our amazing Superintendent @cadebrumley on the education reforms that get back to the basics and are helping drive real growth. Grateful for the teachers who pour into our kids every single day.

Strange bedfellows

[Dan Claitor @DanClaitor]

Thinking about getting the band back together.

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

I guess this guy is so obsessed with race that he won't address the obvious question. Do these state courts operate effectively and efficiently? These should be the goals for all of government, not protecting the jobs of politicians

[The Advocate @theadvocatebr]

Will Sutton: Don’t alter New Orleans courts based on faulty comparisons with rest of state https://t.co/6rE5H5yOzZ

What I don't get is the steady stream of obvious promotions for this event by WWL. It sure seems like they are acting far beyond journalism.

[WWL-TV @WWLTV]

Thousands are expected to gather in New Orleans for the "No Kings 3" rally, joining a nationwide movement with more than 3,000 demonstrations: https://t.co/UdqddgS5m1

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

The amount of money being paid to so many public and civic leaders is concerning. There appears to be little linkage between salary and results, the very definition of meritocracy that we should be demanding.

Funny, listening to the media we are led to believe that Venezuelans are mad at us about the end of Maduro. Fake news says that we shouldn't believe our own eyes because they love the "warmth of collectivism". Check this out. https://t.co/8rJrviyf3o

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

Don't drive on the streets uptown, Gentilly, or much of Lakeview

[Fix New Orleans @FixNOLA]

Have definitely noticed improvements. Let's keep going. 👏

[Conrad Appel @ConradAppel]

The fiscal crisis in New Orleans could be a good government windfall. The city may abandon its practices of being everything to everyone using undependable revenue sources & instead focus on basic city priorities. Bloated government is great until you run out of free money.
