The Louisiana Home Builders Association Political Action Committee has announced its formal endorsement for Beau Beaullieu, in the runoff for District 48 of the Louisiana House of Representatives. “As a businessman and community leader, we know Beau will provide leadership that is vital to our industry. The homebuilding industry generates a quarter-million jobs and an estimated $3 billion in economic impact to our state. Beau shares our vision and priorities for a growing economy, “ Nick Castjohn, Chairman Louisiana Home Builders Association Political Action Committee. The Home Builder’s endorsement joins in with other major industry groups to support Beaullieu as the pro-business candidate in this race.
Throughout Beaullieu’s campaign, he has focused on creating a Louisiana that is more friendly to business and putting an end to the outmigration of jobs to neighboring states. Beaullieu plans to accomplish the success by creating reform in our legal climate that lowers the cost of insurance, putting an end to coastal lawsuits, reducing the state’s abusive severance tax and making sure the existing tax dollars go into fixing of our broken highway system.
Louisiana Home Builders Association represents 5,130 member businesses, which represents on average 250,000 jobs in Louisiana. Beaullieu, a Republican, is a small business owner himself and echoes the sentiment of the Home Builders, “I understand the difficulties of running a business and the challenges we all face. We don’t need a Louisiana that works against us, fighting us at every corner; we need a Louisiana that supports all of its businesses and an environment where every company has a chance to succeed and create more jobs for our state’s economy.”
Beaullieu has been endorsed by Louisiana Association of Business & Industry’s WestPac, Louisiana Oil & Gas Association’s LOGPAC, Associated Builders & Contractor’s Pelican PAC, National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), Stand for Children, American’s for Prosperity’s AFP Action, Louisiana Federation for Children’s Action Fund and the Iberia Parish Republican Executive Committee. Louisiana House District 48 is being vacated by term limited, Speaker of the House Taylor Barras and covers parts of Iberia, Lafayette and St Martin Parishes.
