The historic election of Attorney General Jeff Landry as governor of Louisiana marks a new era in the state. This win is a huge victory for the conservative base in Louisiana that was looking for someone who was committed to implementing policies that reflect their values and aspirations.
With incumbent Governor John Bel Edwards limited to two terms, Republicans have seized the opportunity to reclaim the governorship with this impressive win.
Thankful beyond belief. I’m ready to get to work for Louisiana!

Louisiana’s open primary system is unique. Unlike most states, where primaries determine each party’s candidate, all candidates are able to run in one primary election.
If one candidate secures more than 50% of the votes, they win outright and avoid a runoff – just what happened with the election of Jeff Landry who captured an impressive 51.6%.
Following his victory, Jeff Landry took to social media stating “Thankful beyond belief. I’m ready to get to work for Louisiana!” His words resonated well with conservatives who had long yearned for a leader that would implement policies that reflect their values and aspirations.
He also delivered an acceptance speech in which he expressed his love for the state and commitment to fixing it – stressing unity and expectations of its people.
President Donald Trump released a statement celebrating his win saying, “A very BIG VOTE in the GREAT STATE OF LOUISIANA for A.G. Jeff Landry, who will now become the Governor. Despite many people running, Jeff was easily able to get a majority, meaning that there will be NO RUNOFF. This is an amazing victory for a man who will be a truly GREAT GOVERNOR. Congratulations to all!”
