This week, we celebrated the signing of SB 192 by Sen. Boudreaux, which provides funding for new & current postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities. Students benefitting from these programs at @ULLafayette & @NichollsState joined me to mark the occasion. https://t.co/sjR9fWRzWh — PolitiTweet.org

Louisiana's COVID cases are ticking up, with 23% of tests coming back positive. The good news is that we have the tools to protect ourselves. Staying up-to-date on your COVID vaccinations is the best protection against severe outcomes from this virus. #lagov https://t.co/6KeYtiO6O7 — PolitiTweet.org

LA 1 services 17% of U.S. oil & gas production and is the only roadway to Port Fourchon, which handles nearly 90% of deep-water gas & petroleum extraction from the Gulf. Elevating LA 1 is not just a win for Louisiana, it's a win for the country. 📰: https://t.co/EuZb5zdMxY — PolitiTweet.org

Say goodbye to the pink tax, Louisiana. Last year, I signed HB 7 by Rep. Aimee Freeman, which provides for a sales and use tax exemption for feminine hygiene products and diapers, and today that law goes into effect. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks six years since Medicaid Expansion went into effect in Louisiana, ensuring that the working people of our state have access to the care they need. It has undoubtedly saved lives and saved money. It remains the easiest big decision I've made as Governor. #lagov https://t.co/IYoF9Ap7SN — PolitiTweet.org

It is imperative that we do more to hold the few officers who violate the public’s trust accountable. That's why I've signed SB 182 by Sen. Fields, which strengthens accountability for law enforcement officers through POST certification revisions. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Join me in prayer for the family of Woody Williams, the last surviving WWII veteran to have received the Medal of Honor, who passed away at 98.

Black Louisianans make up one third of our population, and one third of our districts should be majority Black when such a map can be drawn, and, as has been demonstrated, that map is more compact, better adheres to the legal principles governing redistricting, and will perform. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today’s ruling from the Supreme Court is more than a little disappointing. The District Court’s well-reasoned 157 page decision clearly demonstrated that the maps passed by the legislature do not comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to sign HB 261 by Rep. Magee, which establishes École Pointe-aux-Chenes, a public French immersion school for grades Pre-K - 4 in lower Terrebonne Parish.

Right now, COVID hospitalizations are low, but the number of people testing positive is going up and there is still a lot of COVID circulating in Louisiana. It’s incredibly important that everyone stay up-to-date with their COVID vaccinations and take care to avoid getting sick. — PolitiTweet.org

I am thankful that, as a vaccinated and twice boosted person, I am not currently experiencing symptoms of COVID despite having tested positive for the first time. — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout the COVID pandemic, I have taken many precautions to avoid becoming infected and sick and spreading illness to those around me, including taking recommended vaccines, wearing masks and routinely testing for COVID. — PolitiTweet.org
