Lafayette, La. — Today, Jeff Landry received the endorsement of the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association (LSA) in his race for Governor of Louisiana. The LSA is a bipartisan organization, composed of Louisiana’s 64 sheriffs and nearly 14,000 deputy sheriffs, established to represent Louisiana’s chief law enforcement officers across the state.
“Members of the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association proudly stand with Jeff Landry because of his lifelong support of law enforcement. From his earliest years of experience as a sheriff’s deputy, to his consistent continued efforts to be tough on violent crime, sheriffs are honored to partner with him for a safer Louisiana,” said Sheriff Doug Hebert, President of the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association.
“I am extremely humbled by the support of the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association. The sheriffs and their employees are community heroes who put their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe. As a former police officer and sheriff’s deputy, I understand the difficulties faced by those in law enforcement and I will always stand by and support them. As Governor, I look forward to working closely with our sheriffs to make Louisiana a safer state in which to live, work, and raise a family,” said Jeff Landry.
