The former New Orleans mayor in 2017 called for the longest standing Confederate monuments to be taken down in Louisiana. "??In the second decade of the 21st century, asking African Americans--or anyone else--to drive by property that they own occupied by reverential statues of men who fought to destroy the country and deny that person's humanity seems perverse and absurd," he said.

Sharon Hewitt: Together I know that we can put Louisiana first!

I am beginning this journey to be your next Governor with one end in mind: To give families in Louisiana reasons to STAY in Louisiana, rather than reasons to leave. And I will do this by building a strong team of principle-centered leaders who are as committed to driving bold policy reforms as I am. TOGETHER I KNOW THAT WE CAN PUT LOUISIANA FIRST!
