INSURANCE RELIEF
Plaquemines Parish has the highest homeowners and flood insurance rates in the country, with Jefferson and Orleans not far behind. Auto insurance rates are soaring, with Louisiana having the highest rates in the nation. Using my experience representing both the insurers and the insured, I will work to lower insurance rates.
EDUCATION
While some school districts in Louisiana excel, we generally rank near the bottom in national averages. Our future depends on improving our educational systems from pre-school through the university level. I will be a strong advocate for our students and teachers.
INFRASTRUCTURE
District 105 is in need of critical infrastructure projects. Peters Road bypass, connecting Plaquemines and Jefferson Parishes, must be completed. General DeGaulle Drive, south of Holiday Drive, is in dangerous condition and needs repair. Extensive repairs are needed on Highway 23, south of Belle Chasse to Venice. Maintaining and improving infrastructure is vital to the betterment of our district.
HEALTHCARE
Louisiana ranks near the bottom of national averages on healthcare outcomes. Women, children, and low income residents are those who often have limited access to healthcare. We must do better.
COASTAL RESTORATION
It is a double edged sword of saving our coast while minimizing the harm to our seafood industry. My knowledge of both is extensive, having acquired and permitted the first mitigation land bank in the State of Louisiana using renewable materials. I have represented numerous clients in the BP Oil Spill. We must save our fisherman and our coast.
CRIME PREVENTION
Everyone deserves to feel safe and secure in their own communities and some residents of District 105 do not. My background as an attorney will guide me in helping to pass effective legislation designed to reduce crime.
