LAFAYETTE, LA – Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry today is endorsing Congressman Clay Higgins for re-election to the United States House of Representatives.
Statement by Attorney General Jeff Landry:
“Congressman Clay Higgins is an incredibly strong voice for the citizens of South Louisiana. At a time when our Nation, and our State, is experiencing an increase in violent crime, it is more important than ever to have people in elective office who understand law enforcement and the need to protect our communities. As a former law enforcement officer, I look for partners like Clay who can help articulate the need for strong law enforcement. As crime rises, we see acts committed by those who are in our nation illegally and I know Clay is a strong advocate for cracking down on illegal immigration and providing stronger border security. Clay Higgins is exactly what this State and the Country needs right now.”

We may not agree on everything, but we are united in our belief that Louisianians deserve their fair share of funding for the use of our natural resources. That’s why we’ve joined together to introduce the bipartisan BREEZE Act. Our bill increases Louisiana’s share of offshore oil and gas revenues, and sets the stage for even more funding by allowing Louisiana and other coastal states to collect revenues from the leasing of future offshore wind development.

On Tuesday, Landry sent a letter to the Louisiana Treasurer and his fellow Bond Commission Members to delay any applications and funding for the City until its officials have affirmed they will enforce State laws.
“Honor Code” Edwards was quick to give his opinion on the actions taken by the AG during a press conference yesterday, which can be seen in the below video.
As Governor, “Honor Code” should be in the business of ensuring that the bills that were signed into law are properly executed. As a result, the Attorney General called him out on his response.
What's the point of @LouisianaGov signing these laws, if he doesn't care about them being enforced? https://t.co/7aXXbeoRH5

Once again, the “Governor” talks out of both sides of his mouth. Promotes himself as a “pro-life” Democrat and, at the same time, refuses to respect the rule of law in Louisiana.
The Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation ranks Louisiana as having the highest combined state and local sales tax rate in its Midyear 2022 report, matching the foundation’s ranking from earlier this year.
Of the 45 states and District of Columbia that collect statewide sales taxes, Louisiana’s rate of 4.45% ranks 38th, according to the report. However, Louisiana also boasts the second-highest average local sales tax rate at 5.1%. When the state and local sales tax rates are combined, Louisiana jumps to the No. 1 spot.

“As Attorney General and member of the Bond Commission, it is my belief that a parish or municipality should not benefit from the hard-working taxpayers of this State while ignoring laws validly enacted by the people through their representatives,” said Attorney General Landry. “In light of the City’s open defiance of the will of the people of Louisiana, I urge the Bond Commission to defer any applications for the City of New Orleans, Orleans Parish, and any local governmental entity or political subdivision under its purview. In addition, any other funding that will directly benefit the City of New Orleans should also be paused until such time as the Council, Mayor, Chief of Police, Sheriff, and District Attorney have met with and affirmed that they will comply with and enforce the laws of this State and cooperate with any state officials who may be called upon to enforce them.”

Karen Carter Peterson pushed for the Louisiana Democratic Party to award a contract worth tens of thousands of dollars to a New Orleans political consulting firm just a few weeks before the 2019 primary election for governor. That’s according to the state party’s executive director at the time, who says he questioned Peterson, then the party chair, before learning Gov. John Bel Edwards’ campaign was OK with the deal.

Landry, in a filing last week, argued that the law “needs only to delineate what is illegal — not define what is legal.”
“The rule of law must be followed, and I will not rest until it is,” Landry recently tweeted.
