As we prepare to close out 2023, Louisiana Republicans and fellow conservatives can take pride in a series of extraordinary election wins resulting in victories in all statewide offices, increased Republican super-majorities in both houses of the legislature, and down-ballot wins throughout the state. In Jeff Landry, we now have the right man to fix the country's most bloated and inefficient state government, and he will have the legislative support to achieve the necessary reforms.
This has truly been a historic year for the LAGOP, and we have much to be thankful for during this holiday season. Allow me to express my gratitude for the foresight, strategic initiative, unity of purpose, and hard work during this campaign cycle, to our candidates, and to the ladies and gentlemen of the Republican State Central Committee, our parish executive committees, the Louisiana Federation of Republican Women, our Pachyderm clubs, college Republicans, activists, supporters, etc. Thank you for a job well done!
But in politics no victory is ever final, and 2024 will be a pivotal year in the future of our country. We will soon be engaged in an epic battle for the presidency and control of Congress, and we must win this battle or lose the America that we know and love. Louisiana Republicans and conservatives must remain committed to our cause and united in our efforts if we are to make our contribution in this critical contest. Much will be asked of us in the coming year, but I have no doubt that we will see this trial through to victory.
But the time for politics in 2023 has passed as we enter the high holiday season. It is time for friends and family, for reflection, for giving thanks to God. On behalf of the officers and staff of the LAGOP, I wish everyone, regardless of party affiliation or ideology, a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a very Prosperous New Year!
Louis Gurvich, Chairman
Republican Party of Louisiana
