LET ME HELP OUR COMMUNITIES. LET’S GROW AVOYELLES PARISH.
As a life-long resident of Avoyelles Parish, I am committed to making the parish a place where families can flourish and kids won’t have to move away to find a job.

Politicians in Baton Rouge are risking our future to fund their wasteful ways. I will use my knowledge as a successful job creator to force government to live within its means, cut our taxes and give the citizens something back for their tax dollars.

My Christian values guide me every day. I am pro-life and committed to protecting the rights of the unborn. As a sportsman, I will defend the Second Amendment and will fight to protect the rights and culture of our community.
It’s not October… but it sure looked like a pumpkin patch along Hwy 115 in Moncla yesterday! Big thanks to the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center crew for helping clean up our roadsides. Those orange bags full of trash may not be festive, but they sure are appreciated!
Let’s all do our part to keep Avoyelles beautiful! ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks to RLCC offenders. It's sad that anyone has to pick up trash that others carelessly throw out. 🙁

Constitutional Amendment #3: Holding Violent Juvenile Offenders Accountable
All 50 states allow or require certain juveniles to be prosecuted as adults for serious crimes. Louisiana is unique in that our state Constitution specifically lists the crimes eligible for adult prosecution. However, as criminal laws evolve, our Constitution has not kept pace.
What does Amendment #3 do?
If passed by voters, this amendment will allow the Legislature—by a two-thirds vote—to determine which crimes can be transferred to adult court. This flexibility ensures that laws reflect the realities of today’s crime landscape.
For example, armed robbery is currently eligible for transfer, but carjacking and home invasion are not—even as these crimes become more prevalent. The amendment also updates outdated terminology, aligning with current laws (e.g., replacing “aggravated rape” with “first-degree rape”).
Why is this important?
1️⃣ Public Safety – Treating juveniles as adults for violent felonies protects communities from dangerous offenders.
2️⃣ Crime Reduction – Crime harms our economy, deters business investment, and reduces tourism. Holding violent offenders accountable helps keep Louisiana safe.
What crimes are included?
This amendment applies only to 15- and 16-year-olds—not younger juveniles—and only for serious felonies, including:
✔️ Attempted Armed Robbery
✔️ Carjacking
✔️ Home Invasion
✔️ Human Trafficking
✔️ Aggravated Second-Degree Battery
✔️ Distribution of Fentanyl
Recent reports from the FBI, Department of Justice, and Council on Criminal Justice show juvenile violent crime is rising nationwide, particularly crimes involving firearms. Louisiana must ensure our justice system can respond appropriately.
This isn’t about prosecuting petty crimes or young children—it’s about ensuring that those who commit violent felonies face the appropriate level of justice.
I appreciate Representative Debbie Villio for her hard work in bringing this important issue to the voters.
Vote YES on Constitutional Amendment #3. ... See MoreSee Less

I really appreciate how you translate the information into concepts the average citizen can understand.
Does anyone think a 15 year old doesn’t know right from wrong 😟😟😟
Thank you!

Louisiana voters will have the opportunity to modernize and streamline the state’s tax and finance system by voting YES on Amendment #2!
This amendment strengthens taxpayer protections, lowers income tax rates, limits government growth, and pays down state debt—all while maintaining a balanced budget and ensuring funding for critical needs.
✅ Key Benefits of Amendment #2:
✅ Why This Matters:

✔️ Lowers the state income tax rate from 4.75% to 3.75%
✔️ Doubles the standard deduction for seniors
✔️ Limits government spending growth to ensure responsible budgeting
✔️ Protects the Rainy Day Fund while keeping Louisiana financially stable
✔️ Requires a two-thirds legislative vote to create or increase tax exemptions, deductions, or credits.

This amendment puts Louisiana on a stronger financial path by ensuring responsible budgeting, reducing debt, and cutting taxes where they matter most.
Make sure you VOTE YES on Amendment #2 and help move Louisiana forward!

Is the current state income tax not a flat 3% for all? Isn't a vote for the 3.75% top rate, a vote for an income tax increase?
What about church property?
Why are teachers against amendment 2?

Towns Must Be Held Accountable
When municipalities break the law to cheat people out of their hard-earned money, they must be held responsible. The City of Winnfield is now facing a class-action lawsuit for allegedly using illegal speed enforcement cameras to generate revenue at the expense of citizens.
This is exactly why we’ve been fighting against these predatory traffic cameras. It’s not about safety—it’s about money. We need to ensure that no town is above the law and that citizens are protected from these abuses.

City of Winnfield faces class action lawsuit for alleged illegal speed enforcement camera

According to the suit, the camera used by the City of Winnfield to enforce speed limit at a particular intersection violates Louisiana law.5 CommentsComment on Facebook
Well, the town of Livonia sure gets a lot of money for that. It needs to be stopped.
That needs to happen to Marksville and then on hwy 107 going to pineville.
Agreed, This is a governmental predatory practice where private companies get a cut of the funds. Shameful.

Had a great time speaking at the Louisiana Telecommunications Association (LTA) conference! The LTA members are the true broadband providers, and it was great to discuss the GUMBO 2.0 program and our upcoming Locate & Mapping Initiative that the Governor and I are working on. This initiative will revolutionize how we construct underground utilities, helping to prevent damage to municipal water, sewer systems, and other critical infrastructure.
I appreciate the support from LTA members, who truly understand underground construction and the importance of taking every precaution. Looking forward to the impact this initiative will have on our communities!

Doing a Great job!!!!
I’ve seen multiple towns ignore the law and abuse speed cameras, collecting more in fines than from all other tax revenue sources combined. This is a serious problem, and we have to fix it!
Last session, we put measures in place to rein in the speed camera industry, but they have completely disregarded them. That leaves us no choice—this session, I will work with Senator Cathey to outlaw these cameras once and for all!PLEASE STOP PAYING THE TRAFFIC CAMERA TICKETS!
The Town of Mangham last year in 9 months, collected more in speed camera tickets than they did for all other sources of tax revenue combined in the town. This is a problem and one we have got to fix! Last session, we put measures in place to reign in the speed camera industry which they have completely ignored. So now it’s time to outlaw these cameras once and for all! ... See MoreSee Less

Marksville did it too. Got me for 200$ for 38 in a 35mph zone No way to fight it. No appeal. And threats of collection agency if I didn’t pay within 2 weeks. Talk about highway robbery! Literally.
Marksville had 4 cameras workout any signs to state that is speed cameras. Then on hwy 107 going to pineville, just past hwy 454 on the left. A pineville cop puts his car along the road and had 2 cameras installed on a pole in his yard.
Thank you!!! Also when you get a chance please give me a call concerning some other laws that were just put into effect. Either I need clarification on them or something needs to be done!
