Jeff Landry is a fearless champion for Louisiana's right-to-life laws and leads the national conversation to support the most vulnerable among us.

On Civil Rights: Supports Supreme Court case over firing of LGBTQ employees

Landry has signed on to a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court asking the court to rule against three individuals who had been fired for being LGBTQ. Said Alanah Odoms Hebert, ACLU of Louisiana executive director, "Discrimination is not a Louisiana value, but Attorney General Landry is asking the Supreme Court to condone discrimination against LGBTQ people and make it easier for them to be denied health care, kicked out of their homes, and fired from their jobs because of who they are."

On Corporations: Will work to hold predatory insurance companies accountable

Growing up in Louisiana, Jeff knows hurricanes aren't a question of if, but when. Far too often, the missing link in the recovery chain is predatory insurance companies, running Louisiana families around in circles and delaying our recovery. It's been over a year since historic storms ravaged areas of south Louisiana and yet, our people still live under blue tarps. Jeff will work to hold these companies accountable and fight for Louisiana families.

On Crime: Real leaders need to step in against mayors & "woke" DA's

Sadly, crime has taken hold today while incompetent mayors and "woke" district attorneys are playing a dangerous game of "catch and release." In New Orleans, people are scared to pump gas or walk to their cars. Our capital city has one of the highest murder rates in the nation. And other cities around our state aren't far behind. Jeff believes every family deserves a safe neighborhood, and if those chosen to run these cities won't protect their citizens, then real leaders need to step in.

On Drugs: Allows recommending marijuana via telemedicine visit

According to an opinion from Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, physicians can recommend medical marijuana to patients via a telemedicine visit. Gretna Representative Joe Marino said while doctors can't prescribe schedule 2 medication like narcotics without an in-person visit, marijuana is not in the same classification. Both Landry and Marino interpreted the law regarding doctor visits and access to medical marijuana to allow telemedicine visits.

On Education: Throwing more money at a broken system is not the answer

Throwing more money at a broken system that lacks accountability is not the answer, and Jeff knows that parents are the most critical voices in a child's education. When faced with elementary school mask mandates and forced COVID vaccinations on school children, Jeff Landry stood strong, defending children and protecting parents' rights from the "woke" mob.

On Energy & Oil: Fighting to unleash Louisiana's oil and gas production

Today, the left wing's radical anti-oil-and-gas agenda is killing Louisiana jobs, hurting Louisiana families, and driving our energy prices through the roof. Jeff Landry is fighting the Biden Administration to unleash Louisiana's oil and gas production and bring back America's energy independence.

On Government Reform: Over-regulation imposes hefty costs upon small businesses

He started his own oil and gas environmental service company. He also served as the executive director of the St. Martin Parish Economic Development Authority. During this time, Jeff heard from many local job creators that over-regulation from burdensome government officials imposes hefty costs upon small businesses across Louisiana. That's why Jeff decided to go to law school--to stand up for business owners and help them succeed in the face of big government.

On Government Reform: It is not the government's job to entice people to vote

Jeff Landry is leading a 13-state coalition calling for Joe Biden to rescind his Executive Order 14019 which authorizes the executive branch to carry out voter registration and voter mobilization activities. "The government's job is to provide an equal opportunity for all eligible citizens to exercise their right to vote, ensure that every legal vote is counted, and keep the process transparent and secure," said Landry. "It is not the government's job to entice people to vote."

On Gun Control: Tireless advocate for our constitutional right to bear arms

Jeff Landry is a defender of the Second Amendment and a tireless advocate for our constitutional right to bear arms. Jeff grew up hunting and fishing in South Louisiana, so he was raised to respect firearms and learned how to use them properly. In Congress and as Attorney General, Jeff Landry fought and won countless battles to defend our Second Amendment rights. Because Jeff understands these rights "shall not be infringed."

On Health Care: Fought mandatory COVID vaccines for schoolchildren

This year, parents and guardians stood together with Jeff Landry in opposition to the COVID-19 shot being required for their children to attend school. As a result of their coming together, the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) decided to rescind the mandate for Louisiana students. As of yesterday, it has officially been repealed. "Child medical decisions should be made by their guardians, not the government."

On Immigration: Biden prioritizes non-citizens over American citizens

Landry is leading a coalition of 14 states suing the Biden administration over yet another unlawful immigration rule. "Biden continues to prioritize non-citizens over American citizens he took an oath to protect," said Attorney General Landry. "He is once again undermining the rule of law and jeopardizing the safety and security of our country. This rule will make an already porous border even easier for drugs, human traffickers, and sexual predators to cross."

On Principles & Values: High time for the Biden Administration to put America first

[On oil usage]: "Biden's war on energy is a war on America's poor and working-class," said Attorney General Landry. "It is high time the Biden Administration to put America first. Biden's environmental virtue-signaling is burdening American families and jeopardizing the safety and security of our homeland."

On Tax Reform: Your family should keep more of your hard-earned money

Jeff earned a 100% rating in Congress from America's largest small business organization, the National Federation of Independent Business. As Louisiana Attorney General, Jeff Landry has a proven record of standing up for Louisiana business owners to help them succeed in the face of big government. As Governor, Jeff will work to lower taxes for working families and cut job-killing red tape because he believes your family should keep more of your hard-earned money, not the government.

On Technology: Inability to access the internet is a growing problem

The inability of our friends and neighbors to access the internet is a growing problem.

Forty-two percent of Louisiana families do not have high-speed internet access, and over 400,000 Louisiana families have no internet connection. As Governor, Jeff will make sure Louisianans without broadband access receive the same educational and work opportunities that those with high-speed internet already enjoy.
