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.

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. Read more in my article published by The Advocate: theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/op…

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

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

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 pelicanpolicy.org/its-time-for-l…



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

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


I do not think that questions about sexual harassment are inappropriate. I am demanding that we know how much we’re investing to solve this problem. #lalege #lagov

.@RickEdmondsLA says he wants to go back to budget items 'because that's what we're assigned to do.' Isn't clear whether he thinks questions about sexual harassment scandal are inappropriate #lagov #lalege
