Today, we sent a letter to @LouisianaGov asking him to re-open ALL of Louisiana. The current piecemeal approach picks winners and losers, crippling small businesses and forcing too many into bankruptcy or closure. Our local small businesses deserve a level playing field. #lalege https://t.co/bnHjIQqyMx

Republicans have worked for years to fix our broken legal system. Today, @LouisianaGov finally signed our tort reform package. These historic reforms will increase competition between insurance companies, reduce frivolous lawsuits, and drive car insurance rates down. #lalege https://t.co/2cUsuhDrVg
Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon testimony reveals the significant need for tort reform to lower auto insurance rates in Louisiana. #lalege #lagov https://t.co/82ABrFcnIx
I get what fuels your bias💰but Louisiana’s crisis is real: 2x the national average in auto accident lawsuits swamps insurers with payouts. No reform means no relief for my constituents & soaring rates. Face facts, it’s time to fix this litigious mess! #lalege #lagov
Louisiana’s frequent auto lawsuits and hefty payouts drive up insurance premiums. SB148’s ‘loser pays’ rule is one bill in the upcoming regular session that will discourage frivolous lawsuits and help lower your auto insurance rates. #lalege #lagov
Big plans to LOWER auto insurance rates in Louisiana! Check out the 'Eagles' 🦅 bills designed to cut your premiums: HB34 (Glorioso), SB150 (Talbot), SB230 (Kleinpeter), SB231 (Reese): Collateral Source Rule—Juries get to hear the truth about medical bills. HB427 (Bamburg): Reversionary Trust—Keeps future medical costs fair, no windfalls. HB431 (Chenevert): Modified Comparative Fault—No big pay day if the plaintiff is more than 50% at fault. HB434 (Dewitt): No Pay, No Play—Plaintiffs without insurance lose the first $100K of their claim. HB435 (Egan): General Damages Cap—Caps damages at $5M to stop runaway juries. HB450 (Melerine): Housley Presumption—Prove your injuries are legit. SB111 (Seabaugh): Fair Defense Act—Allows legit defenses without penalties. SB148 (Miguez): Loser Pays—Discourages frivolous lawsuits. But watch out for the 'Turkeys' 🦃 that could RAISE your rates: SB61 (Luneau): Good credit? Pay more. SB62 (Luneau): Insurers might flee Louisiana. SB214 (Duplessis): Less accountability for the insurance commissioner. HB597 (R. Carter): A gift to billboard lawyers. #lalege #lagov
Louisiana's auto insurance rates are the highest in the U.S., with citizens paying over $1,000 per/year above the national average. If we do nothing, rates will continue to rise! 🚗💸 #TortReform #FixTheCrisis #lalege #lagov
Reducing the number of frivolous lawsuits filed will lower insurance costs. Moments ago, Rep. Mike Johnson and I filed ‘loser pays’ legislation (SB 148)—defendants winning dismissals in baseless civil suits get legal fees covered by plaintiffs. #lalege #lagov
