After serving five terms in Congress, Baton Rouge Congressman Garret Graves is proud of his accomplishments, particularly his efforts to benefit South Louisiana.
“I cant look back on these ten years and have anything but really good memories of some of the people I got to meet, and some of the things we were able to do to help address fundamental problems in South Louisiana.”
Reflecting on his tenure, Graves expressed satisfaction with his decision to step down, emphasizing the importance of leaving office on his terms rather than overstaying. His decision highlights a commitment to maintaining a balanced career and ensuring his time in public service concludes positively.
“I think that we made the decision on when the right time to leave was and we recognize that. Versus having voters recognize it before us.”
Graves’ tenure in Congress has been marked by a focus on addressing the needs of his constituents and delivering results for the region. With his departure, he now looks ahead to new opportunities and challenges, signaling a transition to the next phase of his career.
“It’s the best worst job I’ve ever had, and I am looking forward to what’s next. I’m excited, nervous and anxious but im looking forward to what’s next. Whatever it is I do need to figure it out sooner than later.”
