Louisiana is on the frontlines of climate change. That's why I've joined 21 of my fellow governors and @USClimate in calling on Congress to pass climate & clean energy investments & incentives our country needs to confront our changing climate. Read more: https://t.co/RLjJg4plgj — PolitiTweet.org

Louisiana’s congressional map of 6 districts needs to contain at least 2 majority African American districts in order to be fair to Louisiana’s voting population, which is one-third Black voters. This is required by simple math, basic fairness & the rule of law. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

It is imperative that the Louisiana Legislature come to Baton Rouge to redraw these maps quickly and fairly, in compliance with the judge’s order and before the fall elections. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The Middle District’s ruling yesterday that the Congressional maps drawn by Louisiana’s Legislature earlier this year violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is correct and completely unsurprising, which is why I vetoed these maps originally. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

The digital divide presents a great challenge to the people of Louisiana, but it’s a challenge that we will overcome. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The @USTreasury announced today that Louisiana will receive $176 million from the American Rescue Plan to increase access to affordable, high-speed internet. We're grateful to be one of the first four states to have our State Broadband Grant Program plan formally approved. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

This has been a great session for Louisiana. The budget I signed isn't just responsible. It's transformational. With record investments in education and infrastructure, I believe this budget gives our future generations the footing they need to succeed. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/iUNXYLysy0 — PolitiTweet.org
