It should come as no surprise that I fully support General Murrill’s tough but fair approach to public safety. I am deeply disturbed by recent events surrounding her indictment. The public trust in our justice system rests largely upon the integrity of the participants. Few within our system wield the power of the District Attorney. As a long-time veteran prosecutor I, like most prosecutors, fully appreciate the responsibility to use that authority for public good and never to support a political, retributive, or malicious agenda. Although I’m extremely troubled by what appears to be the actions in this case, I retain faith in the system to rectify these apparent wrongs. I look forward to that resolution sooner than later.

🏛️ NEW LAW PASSED: Protecting the Families of Our Reserve and Auxiliary Officers

Louisiana has officially enacted Act 608 (House Bill No. 12) during the 2026 Regular Session, expanding critical financial protections for those who step up to protect our communities.

Sponsored by Debbie Villio State Representative and a dedicated coalition of lawmakers, this vital legislation amends state law to provide crucial survival benefits for reserve and auxiliary law enforcement officers.

🔍 What This Means:
Expanded Protection: Secures financial security and survival benefits for the surviving spouses and children of reserve or auxiliary law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

Line of Duty Coverage: Applies to tragic incidents occurring while the officer is responding to emergencies, assisting the public, or traveling to/from work in an authorized agency vehicle.

Our reserve and auxiliary officers put on the badge and risk their lives alongside full-time personnel—it is only right that their families receive the same peace of mind and financial security.

Thank you to the authors and the legislature for standing behind all of Louisiana's law enforcement families! Thank you to Governor Jeff Landry for signing this important legislative.

“Blessed are the peacekeepers, for they shall be called the children of God." — Matthew 5:9

Closing out Police Week by lighting my Capitol office BLUE to honor the brave men and women in uniform.

I know firsthand of the heroism of our police officers, and I’ll always be grateful for their courage and sacrifice.
