AG Jeff Landry: Protecting Louisiana Horse Racing!
Jeff Landry is champion of Louisiana values. From his support of important bayou state industries like Oil & Gas to his love of Mardi gras, our Attorney General is committed to preserving our Louisiana way of life.
That’s why when Joe Biden swooped in and tried to regulate a Louisiana tradition like Horse Racing, Jeff Landry was quick to challenge him in court.
Just like he has throughout the entire Biden reign, Jeff took down another win against the Fed’s liberal overreach. He won a quick decision in court and a judge halted Biden’s new restrictive laws on the Louisiana Horse Racing Industry.
Landry explained the battle here:
"I am grateful Judge Doughty applied the law and blocked this federal overreach from devastating our state and the thousands of Louisianans in the horse industry here. Louisiana has not only regulated horseracing but also built an entire culture around it with the owners, trainers, jockeys, racetracks and patrons. ... The process of creating the law and its associated regulations showed a reckless disregard for the thousands of industry participants in Louisiana and a correspondingly reckless disregard for the impact to our state." - AG Jeff Landry
Like a thoroughbred storming out the gate, Jeff Landry is quick to defend our way of life and values. He is a true champion of Louisiana and we are proud to have him leading in Baton Rouge!

As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes.

Attorney General Jeff Landry Endorses Congressman Clay Higgins for Re-Election
LAFAYETTE, LA – Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry today is endorsing Congressman Clay Higgins for re-election to the United States House of Representatives.
Statement by Attorney General Jeff Landry:
“Congressman Clay Higgins is an incredibly strong voice for the citizens of South Louisiana. At a time when our Nation, and our State, is experiencing an increase in violent crime, it is more important than ever to have people in elective office who understand law enforcement and the need to protect our communities. As a former law enforcement officer, I look for partners like Clay who can help articulate the need for strong law enforcement. As crime rises, we see acts committed by those who are in our nation illegally and I know Clay is a strong advocate for cracking down on illegal immigration and providing stronger border security. Clay Higgins is exactly what this State and the Country needs right now.”

AG Jeff Landry Calls Out "Honor Code" Edwards Over Funding of New Orleans
On Tuesday, Landry sent a letter to the Louisiana Treasurer and his fellow Bond Commission Members to delay any applications and funding for the City until its officials have affirmed they will enforce State laws.
“Honor Code” Edwards was quick to give his opinion on the actions taken by the AG during a press conference yesterday, which can be seen in the below video.
As Governor, “Honor Code” should be in the business of ensuring that the bills that were signed into law are properly executed. As a result, the Attorney General called him out on his response.
Once again, the “Governor” talks out of both sides of his mouth. Promotes himself as a “pro-life” Democrat and, at the same time, refuses to respect the rule of law in Louisiana.
Landry wants funding withheld from NOLA due to abortion ban enforcement
“As Attorney General and member of the Bond Commission, it is my belief that a parish or municipality should not benefit from the hard-working taxpayers of this State while ignoring laws validly enacted by the people through their representatives,” said Attorney General Landry. “In light of the City’s open defiance of the will of the people of Louisiana, I urge the Bond Commission to defer any applications for the City of New Orleans, Orleans Parish, and any local governmental entity or political subdivision under its purview. In addition, any other funding that will directly benefit the City of New Orleans should also be paused until such time as the Council, Mayor, Chief of Police, Sheriff, and District Attorney have met with and affirmed that they will comply with and enforce the laws of this State and cooperate with any state officials who may be called upon to enforce them.”

Attorney General Jeff Landry: Trouble on the tracks is adding to America’s woes
Photo source: File photo
The worst kept secret in American households right now is that times are tough. The cost of gas, groceries and other necessitates are rising faster than a flock of spooked ducks. Inflation, supply chain issues and government failures have forced too many families to choose between fuel or food.
Exacerbating the problem is freight railroads failing to deliver. What once were affordable and dependable links in the critical supply chains, freight railroads are now expensive and unreliable clogs derailing any hope of a break for family budgets. Their service to manufacturers, farmers, and refineries with consumers across America has made building materials, food and fuel more costly — and in some cases — even scarce.
