This #MemorialDay, I invite all Louisianans to honor those brave individuals who have given the ultimate sacrifice. 11,000 flags, representing LA men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, have been placed in front of the Capitol to honor the fallen. #lagov

It’s my annual thank you to @TPrice504 and @BrettEats for convincing me that a one-hour wait on a Monday night for a $32 blackened grouper sandwich is totally worth it.

Officiating is ruining the #NFL for me. These games have basically become unwatchable.

Today marks 2 years since Hurricane Laura made landfall in SW Louisiana. Lake Charles is still enduring the road to recovery that is all too familiar for Louisiana families. But every day we are making progress, and we won’t stop until all our communities are whole again. #lagov

That sure didn’t look like a first drive of preseason drive. Wowza.
Excited to be able to say, for the first time since joining @LEDLouisiana ... I’m #hiring! Cool opportunity for early- or mid-career PR/communications pros and transitioning journalists. DM questions or referrals, or apply online: ziprecruiter.com/jobs/louisi…

“We got stuck in fish fry traffic in Abita” is a totally legit excuse to be late for a Friday wedding during Lent in Louisiana. Right?

It took 20 seasons (!). But New Orleans finally has an #NBA team that embodies the spirit of the city and that is even cooler than this insane blowout streak. #Pelicans #WBD #LFG

Love that the #Pelicans are taking their game to the next level at the exact moment that @WillGuillory and @_Andrew_Lopez are taking their Pels coverage and analysis to the next level. theathletic.com/3161906/2022…
