Ultimately, our motivation for advancing clean energy should be preserving the land we are so very blessed to call home so that Louisiana will not be washed away. #LaSOTS #lagov https://t.co/Nj4lAvFMCa — PolitiTweet.org

We’re scheduled to have the first wind lease sale of the Gulf Coast next year. As we see from legislation filed by Reps. Zeringue & Orgeron, there’s strong interest in wind energy development. This is the future. We can either get on board or get left behind. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Additionally, combating climate change is just as much about economic development as it is about anything else. Some of our biggest economic development projects recently have been with companies focused on clean energy. #LaSOTS #lagov https://t.co/xubi0tcfRx — PolitiTweet.org

What makes our plan special is that instead of working against oil and gas companies, we are working with them. In fact, many oil companies have pledged to reach similar net zero goals. We can’t be more pro-oil and gas than the oil and gas companies. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
That’s why I established the Climate Initiatives Task Force and set a goal of reaching net zero by 2050. This task force, which includes scientists, academics, industry leaders and environmentalists, has adopted a Statewide Climate Action Plan. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
We are all having to adapt to a changing environment – one where storms are getting stronger and more frequent. We don’t get to dictate when the next storm hits or how bad it’s going to be. But we can work to mitigate the impacts of climate change. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Insurance is a wonderful thing – when it functions as intended. Unfortunately, companies don’t always work in good faith with homeowners. All we’re asking is that they play by the rules. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
My agenda includes bills focused on hurricane deductibles, claim transparency, enforcing insurance fraud laws, revamping the adjuster registry so policyholders can verify adjusters, & stopping mortgage companies from withholding insurance money without good reason. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church of Lake Charles has endured a similar story. Co-Pastor George Rodrigues wasn’t able to get the insurance benefits the church was entitled to until last summer. The church’s facilities still aren’t back to 100%. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Pat’s of Henderson is an iconic seafood restaurant in Lake Charles. The day after Hurricane Laura made landfall, owner Nick Perioux hired a contractor so he could get the restaurant open. Instead, he struggled with his insurance company until November of last year. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Unfortunately, Kerry and Peggy are far from the only ones left in insurance purgatory. There are thousands of other families and business owners as well who have been left in the lurch. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
In Southeast Louisiana, Peggy Honore, who teaches at LSU’s School of Public Health, had FIVE insurance adjusters in just the first twelve weeks after Ida destroyed her home in Destrehan. How is that even remotely possible or acceptable? #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Kerry is also a breast cancer patient. Her sole focus right now should be on fighting cancer, not fighting with her insurance company. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Kerry Anderson has a historic home that was destroyed by Hurricanes Laura and Delta. After 18 months, she is still battling her insurance company to force them to pay even a fraction of what she is owed. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
It's also unacceptable that many residents are more scared of their insurance companies than the storm itself. #LaSOTS #lagov https://t.co/099omQCARo — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Suffering damage due to a natural disaster is life-altering. And yet, there are landlords who used it for a cash grab. I am supporting legislation by Rep. Landry that has bipartisan support, which will strengthen tenant protections in the aftermath of a disaster. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Let’s be clear though - it’s not just a federal problem. Recent disasters have exposed the unacceptable ways our neighbors are being taken advantage of when they are at their most vulnerable. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
The federal government hasn’t allocated sufficient funds for Hurricanes Laura, Delta, & Ida. It’s a damn shame. When I talk to people in DC, they tell me more aid is coming and I believe it will, but I don’t blame folks for feeling like they’ve been left behind. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Another system that is broken is the way our citizens are treated in the aftermath of a natural disaster, which unfortunately here in Louisiana happens way too often. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
I’ll support bills that do just that, including a bill to clarify the criminal law of malfeasance in office to apply to constitutional civil rights violations & provide for revocation of POST certification if an officer is found to have committed such an offense. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
I mentioned the proposed increase in supplemental pay for law enforcement officers. Part of that effort needs to be ensuring that those officers can have the trust of the public. We need to do more to hold the very few officers who violate that trust accountable. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Having personally witnessed redistricting twice now, I can say that the current process is not working as intended. That's why I am supporting legislation to establish an independent redistricting commission to support the Legislature for future redistricting. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
Our children are watching us. Many took part in the process to make their voices heard, pleading that the right thing be done. We must think beyond ourselves and focus on their future, the future of our state, and the place they want to continue to call home. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
The African American voting age population in this state is 31.2 %. And it’s likely more because according to a report by the Census Bureau, the Black population was undercounted. We shouldn't need a court to tell us how to do basic math: One third of six is two. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
The Legislature undertook 5 separate redistricting efforts. A total of 163 districts. And across those 5 bills and 163 districts there’s not one net new majority Black district anywhere. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
The most egregious in my view is the Congressional map because there are half as many majority minority districts as the law, basic fairness and I believe basic math require. Therefore, I vetoed the Congressional bill. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
The current demographic makeup of our state shows that the African American population has grown over the last 10 years and yet, while numerous maps were filed reflecting this growth, none of these maps made it to my desk. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
It is disappointing and unfortunate, in my view, that the end result of the special session did not reflect what is right and fair and what is required by the Voting Rights Act. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
As I’ve said: the voters should be choosing their leaders; leaders should not be picking and choosing their voters. Partisanship & self-interest cannot rule the day. Voting is one of the most important and cherished rights and responsibilities of ALL Americans. #LaSOTS #lagov https://t.co/XUIfHxmu86 — PolitiTweet.org
Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov
The rest of my legislative package is also about transforming our future for the people of our state. That includes ensuring that the citizens of this state are fairly represented. #LaSOTS #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
