🚨 URGENT: Proposed Constitutional Changes Could Harm Law Enforcement 🚨

An influential donor has sent a draft of a new state constitution to Louisiana lawmakers, suggesting the REMOVAL of crucial protections for law enforcement supplemental pay and the homestead property tax exemption. Many of our low-paid law enforcement officers depend on these benefits to make ends meet and support their families.

Stand with our law enforcement officers and let your voice be heard! We cannot let these harmful changes pass. 💙👮‍♂️

I am honored to invite you to join me for a very special occasion. On Monday, July 1, at 10:00a.m., I will be sworn in for my second term as Sheriff of Ascension Parish. This milestone is not just a personal achievement but a testament to the support and trust you have all shown me and all our extraordinary deputies over the last four years.

The inauguration ceremony will be held at the Price LeBlanc PACE Center in Gonzales. Your presence would mean the world to me as we celebrate this new chapter together. There will be a brief ceremony followed by refreshments where we can all share in the joy of this moment.

Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing you there.

Blessed are the Peacemakers.

”8:45 this morning I got Alyssa out of the car and she already saw the state trooper through the window at Dunkin. We went in and the line was all the way back to the door. She ran straight to the officer at the front of the line and hugged him and said "THE POLICE!!!" he said "hi sweetie!" and she said "thank you for protecting us!!". Without a thought he picked her up and bought her a doughnut. The whole store was smiling and let me go to the front of the line to take this picture. He told her if she ever wanted a police car to go down to the station and ask for Danny and she'll get one. Sometimes I get down on myself, but today I felt like Ryder and I were raising our girls right. We teach these girs respect at a young age and times like these are proud monents. So many horrible things go around about the brave men and women who protect us and risk their lives for us. A few bad cops out of MANY do not make them all bad. There are thoughtful and kind law enforcement officers out there and I know a bunch, but this random act of kindess filled my heart. I have no idea who this man is but thank you for making my day and especially my daughter's ❤
