Love Lafayette, Lead Louisiana
The citizens of Lafayette and district #45 are perfectly poised to be a premiere cultural destination in this state and an economic engine for the future
Louisianians deserve modern cities built for modern life while also preserving the natural beauty and bounty of our state.
Formalize major parts of Executive Orders JBE2016-26 and JBE2016-73, which made changes to Louisiana’s Industrial Tax Exemption Program, that has allowed corporations to avoid BILLIONS of dollars of tax responsibility.
The war on drugs has been a disastrous policy and waste of resources for this state and its families. The use and cultivation of marijuana is time and again proven less harmful than alcohol and it should be regulated as such.
We must preserve the natural beauty and ecological health of the state. We must also protect our food producers and make sure their industries stay viable and sustainable long into the future.
Strengthen Louisiana law and provide for Tenant’s Bill of Rights: About 33% of Louisiana households are rentals, yet we have some of the weakest renters’ protections in the country.
Promote Louisiana businesses with official certificates of origin for only in LA products. Consumers of Louisiana also deserve robust protections from their government as new 21st century challenges arise.
Every Louisianian has a right to health and a healthy environment. All Louisiana citizens deserve full bodily autonomy. Healthcare is about what is best for patients, NOT politicians. Louisiana is in the top 3 for HIGHEST maternal and infant mortality rates in the nation and is currently 48th in life expectancy.
Education is the single most important factor and opportunity that will lead to Louisiana’s success and revitalization; if we want to diversify our economy and ensure our future.. We must increase resources and eliminate inefficiencies in our primary, secondary and post-secondary institutions. Every Louisianian deserves a quality education which at every level is an investment in our future.
For once Louisiana’s workers deserve a break and little more freedom and power. If we ever hope to grow as a state, increase our tax base and weather the storms ahead we must attract, retain and protect workers.
Louisianians deserve modern cities built for modern life while also preserving the natural beauty and bounty of our state.
Louisiana isn’t just an oil & gas state, Louisiana is an ENERGY INNOVATION state. True energy independence comes from never having to drill, never having to incur the cost and environmental risk of transport, people can generate energy from their homes for their homes. Diversification of our energy economy will also assure people that they can work and live even when oil prices are down.
