Happy Birthday to Justice Clarence Thomas! Justice Thomas has stood as one of our Constitution’s strongest defenders and we are eternally grateful for his efforts.
Yesterday, the Governor was joined by First Lady Sharon Landry and the Love One Louisiana Foundation in Avoyelles Parish to distribute recovery supplies for families displaced by Tropical Storm Arthur.

I spent the day in Moreauville and Plaucheville hearing directly from residents about their greatest needs since Tropical Storm Arthur.
I was proud to be joined by the First Lady whose foundation, Love One Louisiana, in partnership with Stine Home & Yard donated supplies to those affected.
I want the people of Avoyelles Parish to know that we will be with you every step of the way!
Heading to Moreauville this morning to distribute food and supplies donated by the First Lady’s Love One Foundation in conjunction with Stine Lumber.
Thank you to our great @LANationalGuard for helping us get these supplies where they are needed most!
Yesterday I joined @foxweather on the ground in Mansura to discuss the impacts from Tropical Storm Arthur.
I continue to urge all those facing property damage to visit https://t.co/kE1GmTnRju so we can ensure you get the resources you need to recover.
Today is your last opportunity to vote early. Avoid the long lines on election day! Don’t know your early voting location? No Problem! Check the 🔗 in the comments 👇
Reminder: Price gouging after Tropical Storm Arthur is ILLEGAL. Taking advantage of Louisianans recovering from a storm will not be tolerated.
As you begin cleanup, document any storm damage and take photos before making repairs or throwing away damaged property. Be on the lookout for scams and fraudulent contractors looking to take advantage of storm victims.
If you suspect price gouging, contact your local law enforcement first. You can also file a consumer dispute with our office at https://t.co/j0ZN6pNEH0. #lawx
Happy Juneteenth!
On this day in 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX and issued General Order #3:
"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.”
It is an unfortunate fact that the south continued to be dominated politically by the Democrat Party after the civil war concluded. It was a Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and Republican led efforts that finally helped secure its enforcement years later.
Today is a reminder that freedom is worth celebrating and the truth is worth defending.
Polls Closed for Juneteenth

Leftist judges strike again. If they aren’t endangering our communities by releasing violent criminals back onto our streets, they’re finding other ways to undermine Republican efforts to fix broken policies and deliver results for the people of Louisiana.
The TRO issued today was improperly granted for numerous reasons. Two things are indisputably clear: (1) @LAGovJeffLandry has already ordered a reduction in the MFP, which he was constitutionally authorized to do. A court cannot stop an action that already occurred (because it’s happened already). So any part of a TRO issued today purporting to block that action (that occurred days ago) has no legal effect. (2) The TRO has no effect whatsoever on the legislative ballot process. The legislature is not (and cannot be) a defendant. The remaining issues will be sorted out next week, but the improper TRO should never have been issued. #lalege

Had a great breakfast at Victor’s in New Iberia. It reopened after being closed for over 6 years. Having these business back on Main Street proves that our economy is stronger than ever!
