Today was the Governor’s Prayer Breakfast, and I was happy to join Mr. Archie Williams, who sang the National Anthem, and everyone else who participated. I am thankful for the abiding faith of Louisianans. May we continue to rejoice, pray without ceasing, and be thankful. #lagov https://t.co/crkDnqH6t6 — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s get our sunshine back. ☀️#lagov https://t.co/hBNWzhV8g8 — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

So let’s work together. Let’s fight for the future we know is possible. Let’s get our sunshine back, Louisiana. #LaSOTS https://t.co/AfLVYxY61h — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

At the end of the day, it’s the Louisiana people who truly make our state bright. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

And while we are 10,241 rays of sunshine dimmer here in Louisiana, we are going to keep their memories shining by working hard to create a better state for all our people. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I know how hard it’s been to find ways to rejoice or give thanks during a pandemic and natural disasters, but it’s getting easier now. A new day is dawning with every shot in every arm. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I was thinking about this recently as we celebrated Easter. It is a story that renews our hope and faith in brighter days to come. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.” #LaSOTS https://t.co/9niYA7yuwP — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

In 2020, we had many dark and cloudy days. To borrow a line from Louisiana’s state song, it felt like our sunshine had gone away. But better days are here, and even better days are ahead. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

So in closing, as we enter the 2021 regular session and inch closer to ending the COVID pandemic, I am hopeful. Because the people of Louisiana are as resilient as ever. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

As I have always said, my door is open. Let’s talk. Let’s make reforms. But let’s make sure they are real reforms, like the ones recommended by a task force made up of economists and tax professionals that the legislature itself created in HCR 11. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I also want to make sure that we are maximizing federal dollars to serve as many people as possible. That includes capitalizing on funding for high speed, affordable broadband for every single person in Louisiana. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

And then, because these are one time dollars, we should use funds on one-time expenses like infrastructure projects and paying down debt. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I believe our first priority needs to be replenishing the unemployment trust fund to ensure that we can continue paying benefits and protecting businesses from tax increases. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I am also extremely grateful for the $3 billion in assistance that we are receiving through the American Rescue Plan. #LaSOTS — PolitiTweet.org
