Baton Rouge, LA — Today, Republicans in the Louisiana House combined previous efforts and joined together to sign one petition, stopping the Governor’s unprecedented expansion of executive power under his never-ending COVID-19 Emergency Declaration.
This petition from the House of Representatives has the endorsement and support of the House Republican Delegation.
House Republican Delegation Chairman Blake Miguez issued the following statements:
“When any emergency process lasts this long, the public deserves transparency. The Governor should be providing more information and data, not more mandates and restrictions. We trust Louisianans to keep their families, neighbors, and customers safe.”
"For months, Republicans in the House worked tirelessly, exploring every available option to reopen Louisiana safely. We have repeatedly asked Governor Edwards to share additional information with our constituents and explain his endless restrictions on their families, churches, and businesses. Unfortunately, it's become clear the Governor will not surrender his temporary emergency powers. His refusal to give the people of Louisiana (through their elected representatives) a voice in the discussion of how to move our state forward is unacceptable."
