Term-limited Governor John Bel Edwards says his transition out of office is going as planned. As he prepares to turn over power to Louisiana’s 57th governor, Edwards says his team is prepared to hand over the reins to Landry’s administration.

Under the Edwards administration, he expanded Medicare and implemented a $53 hundred teacher pay raise. He has also managed the recovery of Hurricane Delta, Ida, and Laura.
Edwards says he plans to meet with Governor-Elect Landry next week. He says he’s rooting for Landry’s success and hopes he can continue to move the state forward.

Saturday is election day and among the statewide races is the run-off for Treasurer. Republican John Fleming, says his combined experience as a family physician, business owner, former member of Congress, and tenure in the Trump administration make the better choice for the office. He says the role of the treasurer is to protect taxpayers’ money.
Fleming says in addition to making proper investments with state funds, the treasurer also serves on the bond commission and oversees unclaimed property. He says he also wants to work with the Landry administration…
His opponent is Democrat Dustin Granger, a small business owner and financial advisor. He says he’s the better choice because of his financial background and that he wants to put Louisiana residents first instead of businesses. Granger says for too long, Louisiana has cut investments in people, health, education, and infrastructure…
Granger says another example of the state giving away money is incentives to insurance companies.
In addition to the Treasurer’s race, there are two other statewide run-offs; Secretary of State, Attorney General, and four constitutional amendments on Saturday’s ballot. Voting begins at 7 am and ends at 8 pm.
