HB 484 passed unanimously in the House and Senate. Goal is to keep drunk driving offenders off the road and enhance penalties for those that try. I’m proud to have worked with advocacy groups like MADD Louisiana & @MADDNational to get the bill through the legislative process.

I want to send my deepest condolences to Representative Sam Jenkins and his family for the passing of Mrs. Cynthia Jenkins. I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing your soul-mate and best friend. Please pray with me for the Jenkins family.

Enjoyed spending time with supporters at the Rally for Louisiana in front of the Capitol for the Veto Override Session starting tomorrow!

Gov. John Bel once again fails to keep a campaign promise. In 2015, he said he would promote conservative social and family issues. His veto of SB 156 shows that he has abandoned his commitment.

Great news! The Governor has signed HB280. This is a bill I had the pleasure of authoring which revises the eligibility criteria for school participation in the Student Scholarships for Education Program while also removing the 20% enrollment cap.

Louisiana’s school districts consistently land at the bottom of all the national rankings even though we outspend most of our neighbors on our cost per student. We need financial transparency to make sure our tax dollars are being spent where they are supposed to. #lalege

[LABI @LABI_biz]

We need to hold schools accountable for the billions of dollars they receive in federal funds. HB 38 is a no-brainer and we are proud to support it. #lalege

[Rick Edmonds @RickEdmondsLA]

The House of Representative has passed the Fairness in Women's Sports Act (SB 156) with 77 votes! I was proud to vote YES and I am proud to be a co-author! #lalege #lagov

Even though employers are begging for workers and promising great pay, employees aren't showing up to take their jobs. Businesses should compete with other businesses, not the federal government and the power of the printing press. Read more here: #lalege https://t.co/VGm9HPELkH

I am proud to author HB 38. The bill will be heard on the House Floor later today! #lalege #lagov

[Pelican Institute @PelicanInst]

94% of Louisianans agree that we need financial transparency in our schools. Its time to open the books and improve our education system to set Louisiana’s children up for a bright future. #lalege https://t.co/r9Oeb8rZA3

The Criminal Justice Committee just unanimously passed HB 54, my bill to create the crime of adoption deception! This bill will help end fraud and abuse in our adoption system. #lalege #lagov
