Republican Jeff Landry expressed his pride for Louisiana and gave his vision for a better Louisiana during a 32-minute long speech after he was sworn in as the state’s 57th governor. Landry says Louisiana residents seek a government that reflects their values and the public believes the most important voice in a child’s education should be the parents.
“They demand that our children be afforded an education that reflects those wholesome principles, and not an indoctrination behind their mother’s back,” said Landry.
Making Louisiana a safer place to live was a major part of Landry’s campaign. He plans to address it with a special session in February. He says too many families are being ripped apart by outrageous violence.
“We owe no higher obligation as public servants than to fix this,” said Landry. “To fix it now and fix it for good.”
Louisiana’s new governor has a great opportunity to get most of his agenda approved with a Republican controlled legislature and every statewide office is occupied by a Republican. He believes now is the time to make a real difference.
“To the Legislature; I ask you to help me help you, and together help them…for our failure is not an option,” said Landry.
Landry officially takes office at noon on Monday.
