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. With my experience as an entrepreneur, I know how to create jobs and opportunities. I’ll work hard in Baton Rouge to grow our job base and give every one of us a chance to succeed.
LET’S STOP WASTEFUL SPENDING
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.
I SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS
I know firsthand the schools in Avoyelles Parish and across the state. I understand the importance of giving parents and students the chance to achieve their dreams. I support giving every student a strong start, high expectations, effective teachers and quality schools.
I WANT TO PRESERVE OUR WAY OF LIFE
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.
January 22, 1812 | Louisiana History
On this day in 1812, leaders in the Territory of Orleans adopted Louisiana’s first Constitution, setting the framework for our admission as the 18th state just a few months later.
The document was shaped under the guidance of William C. C. Claiborne, who had prior experience with constitutional government and helped navigate Louisiana’s unique blend of French, Spanish, and American legal traditions. Unlike many other states at the time, Louisiana had to balance civil law influences with the U.S. Constitution, a challenge that still shapes our legal system today.
That first constitution reflected the era it was written in. Voting rights were limited, and while citizens voted for governor, the final selection was made by the legislature. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a starting point.
Over the last 200+ years, Louisiana has rewritten its constitution multiple times, each one moving us closer to broader representation, stronger local authority, and a government that better reflects the people it serves.
As a state representative, days like today are a reminder that our job is to keep improving on the foundation laid in 1812 and to make sure Louisiana continues moving forward while honoring where we came from.

Olivia and I were honored to attend the ribbon cutting for the Martin Family Student Success Center at Louisiana State University of Alexandria.
As a State Representative, LSUA Foundation board member, and donor, it was meaningful to see the impact of private support firsthand. The LSUA Foundation raised over $5 million in private funding to help make this facility possible, and through our donation we were proud to help provide a conference room that will serve students and faculty.
LSUA is the fastest growing university in the state of Louisiana. A special thank you to the Martin family for their very generous contribution, and sincere appreciation to Dr. Paul Coreil and the entire LSUA staff for their leadership and dedication to student success.

I will always step forward when the opportunity arises to invest in Louisiana’s future.
Today’s launch of the Louisiana Impact Fund is focused on keeping Louisiana companies, Louisiana jobs, and Louisiana wealth right here at home. This is how we build a stronger economy, foster generational change, and create lasting opportunities for our communities.

Honored to present a resolution from Governor Jeff Landry at the unveiling of the Solomon Northup statue in Marksville.
A meaningful moment recognizing local history, resilience, and the stories that helped shape Avoyelles Parish and our state. Proud to be part of this tribute and grateful to everyone who made it possible.
If you get time, I encourage you to watch or read “Twelve Years a Slave.” It tells the powerful, true story of Solomon Northup, his life as a free man, his kidnapping into slavery, and his perseverance to regain his freedom. It’s a sobering reminder that freedom is never something we can take for granted; it must be protected, defended, and passed on to future generations.

I had to read the book at LSUA. I was very lucky to have Dr. Eakin as my Louisiana history teacher. Oh the knowledge she imparted to us about Louisiana was awesome. She is the reason I love Clementine Hunter. A funny thing was when I took the class she showed a slide show (yup slide show) about different aspects of Louisiana. There was one of her slides that showed Avoyelles Parish people butchering a pig and making red boudin. I thought the girls sitting behind me were going to run out. Haha. I could hear them saying it was gross and they got real squeamish. Wow! Oh and one other note on Dr. Eakin she authored the textbook we used in her class. How I wish I would still have it just for memory sake if nothing else. I would imagine she she was smiling down on Solomon Northrop’s statue when it was unveiled.
Great presentation!
Great Tribute!

Louisiana families know all too well the devastation caused by drugs and the violence that follows.
The arrest of Nicolás Maduro, long accused of narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking, is a step toward holding those who fuel the drug trade accountable.
Thank you Donald J. Trump for decisive leadership that puts American safety first. 🇺🇸

Not defending Maduro but this is the start of a war. Without congressional approval. This is wrong. You are wrong for defending it.
While illegal drugs (and the misuse of legal drugs) wreak havoc through the U S, and assuming removing the Venezuelen president may limit importation, one has to wonder if a land attack on a country and capturing its president, is truly about a war on drugs, especially considering Trumps recent pardon of the Honduran president, actually convicted of importing 400 tons of illegal drugs, and considering Trump’s repeated references to Venezuelan oil, even after the attack on FOx this morning.

As a State Representative, I want to be clear about how this surplus was achieved.
The State Treasurer does not vote on tax policy, does not pass legislation, and does not set the state budget. Those responsibilities belong to the Governor and the Legislature.
Louisiana’s surplus is the result of the Governor’s tax reform proposals, bipartisan legislative action, and responsible budgeting by the Legislature and the administration working together.
Louisiana’s voters deserve clarity, transparency, and the truth about how results are achieved.I have refrained from commenting on Treasurer Fleming’s attempts to capitalize on Legislative and gubernatorial successes, but I think this post is the final straw for me.
From trying to take credit for local capital outlay projects to now trying to take credit for the state’s surplus, John Fleming is in no way shape or form the reason for our quarter of a billion dollar surplus.
The state’s surplus is a result of Governor Jeff Landry’s tax system overhaul, the Legislature, both Democrats and Republicans, implementing the policy along with responsible budgeting by both bodies and the administration.
I’m glad the Treasurer shares in our collective enthusiasm and look forward to the Governor and legislature bringing future successes to our state. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Please use the surplus wisely to continue to lower the taxes on families.
Lower the Sales Tax....and do something for the workers! Highest in this nation.
Where in his post does he say he cut the taxes and take credit? Please point it out for us.
