Louisiana's statewide mask mandate is now in effect. Masking up is how we'll slow the spread of COVID-19 as the Delta variant threatens the ability to deliver care in our hospitals. Wear a mask & get vaccinated to protect yourself from this surge. #lagov

Last week, I got to hang out with proud Louisianan Zaila Avant-garde. This champion knows a thing or two about winning, so let's follow her advice, get vaccinated, and beat COVID-19. @basketballasart. #lagov #SleevesUp

In the past five years, Texas and Louisiana have increasingly collaborated on addressing the commercial sexual exploitation of youth, helped enact laws that protect them, and joined together to lead other states in anti-trafficking work. Like Louisiana gumbo and Texas barbecue, each state brings its distinct flavor to the table, and thankfully, our collaborations bring about success. You can learn more by visiting http://louisianafirstfoundation.com/anti-human-trafficking-july2021/.

Sitting in the garden this afternoon. My heart is heavy on so many fronts.

Praying for our people. Praying for those who are suffering with Covid in the hospitals. Praying for those who are taking care of the sick. Praying for all our citizens.

We love y’all.

It was an honor to attend the Louisiana Dare Officer Association (L.D.O.A.) D.A.R.E. Conference and discuss Human Trafficking Prevention and Awareness. Thank you to L.D.O.A. for implementing the Gingerbread House internet safety curriculum in the junior high schools. Also, many thanks to the D.A.R.E officers from around the state for attending. Together, we are making a difference for the children of Louisiana!

It’s National Be Someone Day, so here’s our challenge for the day: take ten seconds to make a difference in a child’s life. There are so many things we can do, but most importantly, commit to reporting child abuse when a child says he/she is being hurt. I’m taking the pledge and hope you will too. Together, we can stop child abuse. Small act of kindness can help save the lives of children who need our help. Learn more by visiting: https://projectbesomeone.org/#5-steps.

Few people have made such an indelible mark on our state as Governor Edwin Edwards.

At just 17, he joined the Navy during World War II, beginning a lifetime of service to his state and country. He represented Louisiana’s 7th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives and served as the state’s only four-term governor, leading Louisiana through pivotal years of growth including launching efforts to create the state’s current constitution. Gov. Edwards was a fervent supporter of civil rights and ensured that his administration was as diverse as Louisiana, a commitment I have also made as governor.

Edwin was a larger than life figure known for his wit and charm, but he will be equally remembered for being a compassionate leader who cared for the plight of all Louisianans. Our state has lost a giant, and we will miss him dearly.

Donna and I send our deepest condolences to his wife, Trina, family and all who were blessed to call him a friend and ask everyone to join us in praying for God to comfort them during this difficult time. #lagov
