On #Juneteenth, we celebrate the end of slavery in America on June 19, 1865 and honor of the strength and resolve of African Americans throughout history. As we take time to reflect today, may we all recommit ourselves to the ongoing fight for equity and justice. #lagov https://t.co/IL0toP7fa8 — PolitiTweet.org

This is a matter of simple math, basic fairness, and the rule of law. Louisiana, we can and should do better than this. Read my full statement: https://t.co/R8wNysz91O #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

It is disappointing that after every opportunity to do the right thing and create a second majority African-American Congressional district as ordered by the U.S. Middle District Court, the Legislature has once again failed to do so. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/xpf135Bikv — PolitiTweet.org

We have been working with Deputy Secretary Bill Sommers to address the issues and will continue to do so. Our commitment has always been to keep the youth secure while supporting their rehabilitation and we have not and will not waiver from that. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

We are in conversations about the longer term solution and nothing is off the table. The issues are complex, but chief among them are the lack of employees and the major disrepair of the Bridge City campus. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

It is an urgent situation, and this immediate solution will be in place for as long as necessary as we work to put a long term staffing plan in place to ensure the safety of the youth who have been entrusted to our care as well as the staff. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Starting tonight, there will be more manpower on site providing extra security in order to ensure the safety of the youth, staff and the communities. Our goal is to make certain the unfortunate incidents that recently occurred at both facilities will not be repeated. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, I directed @LAStatePolice and the @Louisiana_DOC to immediately provide additional personnel to assist the Office of Juvenile Justice with its staffing shortage at both Bridge City Center for Youth and Swanson Center for Youth in Monroe. 📰: https://t.co/0J7fCsFRyg #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

The company’s commitment to a lower-carbon future aligns with Louisiana’s commitment to Net Zero emissions by 2050. We welcome this forward-thinking energy company to our state and look forward to seeing the project progress. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Arbor Gas’ newly-announced $800 million renewable gasoline production facility in West Baton Rouge Parish is further evidence that our all-of-the-above approach to energy is attracting the right kind of investment to Louisiana. 📰: https://t.co/3ybplKoRG2 #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday, @USArmy! Since 1775, the Army has answered the call of duty when our country needed it most. I’m proud to be an Army veteran & I want to thank everyone who has served & is serving in America’s oldest (and best) military branch. #lagov https://t.co/qo74BSv40z — PolitiTweet.org

There is much work to be done to ensure all people are treated equally by the law, by our institutions & by each other, but it's my hope that Louisianans will reflect on the importance of freedom & equality & learn about the struggles of enslaved people in our country. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
