I joined over 60 of my fellow legislators in a letter by House Education Committee Chairman @RayGarofalo to request that our students return to the classroom and our athletes return to the playing field in the fall. Our schools must return to normal! #lalege #lagov #laed https://t.co/wOsC2YBJlW
I don’t think I have a future as a competitive axe thrower but it sure was fun! Thanks @AFPLouisiana and @GBRYR #lalege #lagov https://t.co/yesUW1qrDB

I just sent a letter signed by myself and 56 other Representatives and Senators to @LouisianaGov requesting that he take immediate action to close abortion clinics until the end of the #COVID19 pandemic. #AbortionIsNotEssential #lalege #lagov https://t.co/dZXQKd9jDw
1/ Earlier today, I sent a letter, with 32 of my legislative colleagues, to @LouisianaGov. The letter asked Governor Edwards to allow businesses to operate at 100% capacity and end the mask mandate, just like Texas and Mississippi have already done. #lalege #lagov
L White Star Market L The Rum House L Rama L Satterfields People put their blood, sweat and tears into opening a business and an executive order by @LouisianaGov can cause them to close their doors forever. Sad. Its time to #ReOpenLA #lalege #lagov https://t.co/g2IKnBadK7
Steve Carter was a great friend and a great public servant. I had the privilege of working with Steve in the Louisiana House of Representatives for 4 years. #lalege #lagov https://t.co/q1qClCm0wl

I just voted NO on the Emergency Election Plan. Mail-in voting has a HUGE potential for fraud and could destroy the integrity of our elections. Below is an article about 28,000,000 mail-in ballots that went missing between 2012 and 2018. https://t.co/VBrARhZdbi #lalege #lagov https://t.co/l1z0scfKOr
