63 of our 64 parishes have declared a state of emergency in addition to the state declaration. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I am asking @POTUS to declare a major disaster for Louisiana due to the recent severe winter weather event. A major disaster declaration is needed for this event due to the tremendous impact in each region of the state. https://t.co/6JNxdheZtS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Thank you to Living Faith Christian Center for hosting today’s North Baton Rouge COVID-19 vaccine clinic and @LADeptHealth Sec. Dr. Courtney Phillips for leading our effort to vaccinate Louisianans and for leading as an example by receiving hers today. #lagov https://t.co/ZqtthbVpfa — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, I visited the North Baton Rouge COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic. Community vaccine sites like this are critical to ensuring that we are getting equitable distribution of vaccines and ensuring that we fight the virus in the communities most affected by it. #lagov https://t.co/h1fIrQaUaa — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Thank you Dr. Phillips for leading by example and going sleeves up to receive your COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine is how we will get past the pandemic and it’s important that we encourage all who are eligible to get one. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

I challenge anyone opposed to raising the minimum wage to imagine trying to support a family on only $15,080 – it’s simply not possible. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

It is unconscionable that one of our fellow citizens could work 40 hours a week for an entire year and make barely enough to be considered above the poverty line. This is not prosperity. This is not the American Dream. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Families are the foundation of our communities. Investing in the success of Louisiana families means investing in our success as a state. It means investing in opportunities. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
