In light of

resignation, I would like to share my favorite quote of his, “my word is more important to me than my politics” while authoring a bill as part of a compromise with District Attorney Assoc. as he faced opposition from his own party.

Thank you to
@AGLizMurrill
for continuing the fight on behalf of victims of child sexual abuse. Her leadership and partnership on this is appreciated. Today’s decision by the Louisiana Supreme Court to rehear this important case is no doubt the right decision!
In a victory for child victims of sexual abuse - I’m pleased that the Louisiana Supreme Court granted our application for a rehearing. This was the right decision - as the bill passed unanimously through the State Legislature and should be the law here in Louisiana.
