Jeff Landry’s Values
Pro-Life and Pro-Family

Law and Order
Sadly, crime has taken hold today while incompetent mayors and “woke” district attorneys are playing a dangerous game of “catch and release.” In New Orleans, people are scared to pump gas or walk to their cars. Our capital city has one of the highest murder rates in the nation. And other cities around our state aren’t far behind. Jeff believes every family deserves a safe neighborhood, and if those chosen to run these cities won’t protect their citizens, then real leaders need to step in.
Jeff Landry has dedicated his professional life to protecting Louisiana families from crime. Jeff worked through college as a police officer and sheriff’s deputy. While working in law enforcement, Jeff saw the best and the worst a community has to offer. With firsthand experience and a unique perspective on the complexities of how Louisiana law intersects with law enforcement, Jeff Landry has worked to protect the people of Louisiana.
As Attorney General, Jeff established the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) within the Department of Justice. This new focus on fighting crime has helped the Louisiana Department of Justice apprehend criminals and assist other law enforcement agencies. Under Landry’s leadership, Louisiana is fighting against the surge of illegal immigration and working with federal officials to pursue fugitives and take criminals off the streets.

Putting Children First and Protecting Parents’ Rights
Raised in a middle-class St. Martinville family, Jeff Landry learned that quality education and hard work were the pathways to a better future. As loving parents, Jeff and his wife Sharon believe that protecting Louisiana’s children and preserving the integrity of their education is a top priority.
As the son of a school teacher, Jeff Landry is worried that 74% percent of Louisiana fourth graders can’t read as well as they should, and nearly 80% of our eighth graders can’t do basic math. Throwing more money at a broken system that lacks accountability is not the answer, and Jeff knows that parents are the most critical voices in a child’s education.
When faced with elementary school mask mandates and forced COVID vaccinations on school children, Jeff Landry stood strong, defending children and protecting parents’ rights from the “woke” mob.

Cutting Taxes and Red Tape
After starting a successful business with a friend, Jeff saw firsthand the impact of government regulations on local small businesses. That’s when he decided to go to law school to learn how to help job creators stand up to big government.
As a small business owner, Jeff Landry knows how heavy-handed regulation from Baton Rouge and Washington D.C. threatens Louisiana jobs and hurts our local small businesses. Jeff is fighting to create new jobs and provide additional training to Louisiana’s workers.
Jeff earned a 100% rating in Congress from America’s largest small business organization, the National Federation of Independent Business. As Louisiana Attorney General, Jeff Landry has a proven record of standing up for Louisiana business owners to help them succeed in the face of big government. As Governor, Jeff will work to lower taxes for working families and cut job-killing red tape because he believes your family should keep more of your hard-earned money, not the government.

Defending American Energy Independence
Jeff Landry grew up in the heart of the oil patch through the oil bust of the 80s, which turned middle-class families like his into families struggling to get by. Times were tough, but Louisiana always survives.
Today, the left wing’s radical anti-oil-and-gas agenda is killing Louisiana jobs, hurting Louisiana families, and driving our energy prices through the roof. Jeff Landry is fighting the Biden Administration to unleash Louisiana’s oil and gas production and bring back America’s energy independence.

Defending the 2nd Amendment
Jeff Landry is a defender of the Second Amendment and a tireless advocate for our constitutional right to bear arms. Jeff grew up hunting and fishing in South Louisiana, so he was raised to respect firearms and learned how to use them properly.
During his military service and his career in law enforcement, he received countless hours of professional firearms training and education. This real-world experience enables Jeff to be an effective defender of our Constitutional Rights to protect ourselves and those we love.
In Congress and as Attorney General, Jeff Landry fought and won countless battles to defend our Second Amendment rights. Because Jeff understands these rights “shall not be infringed.”

Expanding Broadband Internet Access
The inability of our friends and neighbors to access the internet is a growing problem. Telehealth, telework, and online classes demand broadband expansion, and the pandemic made it even more urgent than ever to bridge the digital divide in underserved areas.
Forty-two percent of Louisiana families do not have high-speed internet access, and over 400,000 Louisiana families have no internet connection. As Governor, Jeff will make sure Louisianans without broadband access receive the same educational and work opportunities that those with high-speed internet already enjoy.

Holding Insurance Companies Accountable
Growing up in Louisiana, Jeff knows hurricanes aren’t a question of if, but when. During these dark, trying times, we see the best Louisiana has to offer. We see our communities band together, neighbors helping neighbors to clean up, dry out, and rebuild.
Far too often, the missing link in the recovery chain is predatory insurance companies, running Louisiana families around in circles and delaying our recovery. It’s been over a year since historic storms ravaged areas of south Louisiana and yet, our people still live under blue tarps. Jeff will work to hold these companies accountable and fight for Louisiana families.

Modernizing Louisiana’s Outdated Constitution
Our state’s constitution has been amended hundreds of times in just over 45 years, with more than 13,000 words on how the state government should spend your money. The amendments include countless funding dedications that ensure every special interest gets their slice of your families’ hard-earned money. On taxes, the long list of amendments ties lawmakers’ hands making it difficult to make cuts.
Together, these hundreds of amendments prevent lawmakers from doing their constitutional duty. I know we can rise to the occasion and agree on much-needed revisions to set future generations on an economic path to success. While not all of Louisiana’s problems can be blamed on our state constitution, it clearly stands in the way of efforts to enact many crucial reforms Louisiana desperately needs.

About Jeff Landry
St. Martinville, the small town Jeff called home, has a church at its heart. It’s where his parents taught Jeff and his siblings about faith, standing up for what you believe in, and caring for others. His mother was a school teacher, and his Dad was a small-town architect.
Jeff grew up through the oil bust of the 80s, which turned middle-class families like his into families struggling to get by. Times were tough. But they had faith, they had each other, and there was always room at the dinner table for a friend or neighbor in need.
His mother raised the Landry children to understand that quality education and hard work were the pathways to a better future. Jeff went to work right after high school in the sugar cane fields – and proudly joined the National Guard. Having joined the Louisiana Army National Guard while still in high school, Jeff Landry served his country and the people of Louisiana for eleven years. Over his decade-plus years of service, Jeff became a decorated veteran of Desert Storm. He also received the Army Achievement Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, a National Defense Ribbon, and the Louisiana War Cross.
Understanding the importance of education, Jeff returned home after he fulfilled his commitment to our country and worked through college by continuing to serve others as a local police officer and sheriff’s deputy. Working in law enforcement, Jeff saw the best and the worst a community has to offer and worked every day to protect the most vulnerable.
After graduating from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, he started his own oil and gas environmental service company. He also served as the executive director of the St. Martin Parish Economic Development Authority. During this time, Jeff heard from many local job creators that over-regulation from burdensome government officials imposes hefty costs upon small businesses across Louisiana.
That’s why Jeff decided to go to law school – to stand up for business owners and help them succeed in the face of big government. He took night classes and worked during the day until graduating from Loyola University in 2004.

From digging ditches to Desert Storm. From patrolling the beat to passing the bar exam. Jeff Landry walked in the shoes of people who struggle more than they should in a state as blessed as this one.
But that life experience turned a regular guy, a political outsider involved in his community, into a national leader that shocked the Louisiana political establishment when he ran for and won a seat in Congress.
As a Congressman, Jeff Landry stood up for what we believe in and was named one of the top five most conservative members of Congress. Still, Jeff also cast more bi-partisan votes than any other member from Louisiana at that time because Jeff will always do what’s right – not what’s politically popular.
And as your Attorney General – that has not changed. Jeff Landry has worked tirelessly to stem the opioid crisis, prosecute welfare fraud, and restructure and reform the Department of Justice. Jeff battles every day to protect your Constitutional rights and successfully prosecute dangerous criminals that harm the good people of Louisiana’s quality of life.
Jeff embraced the responsibility to protect this state, her culture, her values, her people, and her children. During his time in office, Jeff Landry has helped reform Louisiana’s Department of Justice, which he leads. He created the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation to fight crime and the Louisiana Solicitor General’s office to handle major Litigation, including national cases that impact Louisiana as they made their way to the United States Supreme Court.
Whether in Washington D.C. or in Baton Rouge, he is a fearless advocate for the Constitution and a champion for the Louisiana he loves. Jeff Landry is running for Governor of Louisiana because he knows that we deserve a government as good as our people, and we’re not getting it.
He and his wife, Sharon, are raising their son, J.T., in Acadiana, just miles from where Jeff grew up.
