Blake Miguez - A Resounding Voice for Louisiana at the 2023 LFRW "The Main Event" Fundraiser

The 2023 Louisiana Federation of Republican Women (LFRW) fundraiser was phenomenal, bringing together notable conservatives for an evening of inspiration, dedication, and powerful speeches. A standout was none other than Blake Miguez, who attended the event not only as a sponsor but as a dedicated candidate running for State Senator in District 22.

Blake's presence at the event was a testament to his staunch support for the Republican party. He began by acknowledging the immense efforts of the Republican women across the state, who work tirelessly to preserve and protect our conservative values. As the largest volunteer women's political organization in Louisiana, the LFRW continues to be a beacon of conservative principles, a fact Miguez proudly emphasized.

In an emotional moment, Miguez thanked his wife Ashley, a special needs public school teacher who he referred to as his support system. He acknowledged her sacrifices, allowing him to pursue his political ambitions while she shapes the minds of our future generations. It is this personal touch that separates Blake from many others - his ability to connect on an intimate level with the people he serves.

Throughout his speech, Miguez made it clear he is committed to fighting against the liberal indoctrination infiltrating our education system. His commitment to preserving the sanctity of women's sports, protecting our children, and prioritizing education over political propaganda underscored his conservative beliefs.

Miguez has already proven himself a powerful conservative force in Baton Rouge. He has defended the sanctity of life in the womb, protected our rights to bear arms, and prioritized creating job opportunities to prevent our young people from moving out of state. As a Republican Leader of the House, he helped build a super-majority of Republicans in the legislature - a first in Louisiana history.

Miguez ended his speech on a note of unity and hope, expressing his commitment to work alongside our new Republican Governor to make Louisiana a state that we can all be proud to call home. His speech was a powerful call to arms, inviting all conservatives to join him in his quest to make Louisiana great.

It was clear from the 2023 LFRW fundraiser that Blake Miguez is ready and willing to serve Louisiana with the same passion and dedication he has demonstrated in his political career so far. His conservative values, strong leadership, and commitment to the people of Louisiana make him a candidate to watch in the upcoming 2023 Elections.

God bless Blake Miguez, and God bless the Great State of Louisiana.

Chaotic End to Regular Session in Baton Rouge

With four minutes to spare before the Louisiana Legislature's final deadline to pass bills, lawmakers approved a sweeping spending package Thursday in a series of chaotic votes marked by angry yelling at the House Speaker, confusion in the Senate and accusations of backdoor deal-making. 

The approximately $45 billion bundle approved Thursday includes the state's main spending bill, a budget for major construction projects and a supplemental spending measure dealing with a $2.2 billion glut of extra cash the state hauled in over the past two years. The bills move next to the desk of Gov. John Bel Edwards, who put his stamp on the session by pushing for higher teacher pay and funding for early childhood education.

Support HB 548 (Rep. Blake Miguez with Iberia Medical Center)

In this video, Rep. Blake Miguez describes the importance of protecting 340B funding for rural healthcare access in his community with examples of local services that are made possible at Iberia Medical Center with this funding. “Big PhRMA’s attempt to eliminate these discounts would endanger lifesaving access in our community and potentially increase costs for local and state taxpayers,” said Rep. Miguez. “I support HB 548, which protects Louisiana’s healthcare providers so our friends and neighbors can receive lifesaving care close to home.”

Rep. Blake Miguez on Final Passage of SB-1 and Redistricting of Senate District 22

Rep. Blake Miguez, R-Erath, gives an impassioned speech today prior to final passage of SB-1 and the redistricting of Senate District 22, affecting parts of Iberia and St. Martin Parishes.

Miguez, who’s current House District does not include the Town of Loreauville, speaks from a personal perspective, as the native of the small community in Iberia Parish. The newly drawn district lines would put that area district to the east, excluding the rest of Iberia.
