There’s no doubt in Louisiana that President Trump’s first 100 days have reignited a sense of American pride and purpose. His commitment to “Make America Great Again” is not just a slogan, but a tangible shift in policy.

A shift in policy which has been of tremendous benefit to us here in Louisiana.

Protecting Louisiana communities is paramount, and the administration’s focus on border security reflects this. By prioritizing the safety of our citizens, we can ensure a more secure and prosperous nation.

Furthermore, the President’s efforts to lower the costs of everyday goods are a welcome relief for hardworking American families after four disastrous years of Bidenomics. Addressing the economic burdens faced by ordinary people is crucial for fostering a stable and thriving society and President is working overtime to make good on his promise.

We shouldn’t forget that President Trump’s reversal of his predecessor’s impossibly unwise ban on the exports of liquified natural gas, a ban that even President Biden disavowed when challenged privately about it by House Speaker Mike Johnson – to this day we have no idea who actually ordered that ban in Biden’s name – has opened the door to a bright economic future for Louisiana as the center of America’s LNG exports. The $17.5 billion LNG terminal planned for Cameron Parish by Australian energy company Woodside Energy is just one of several projects now moving forward.

Finally, President Trump’s assertive stance on the world stage has projected an image of strength and resolve. In an increasingly complex global landscape, a strong America is essential for maintaining peace and stability. President Trump’s work to foster peace through strength have not gone unnoticed in Louisiana.

These first 100 days have demonstrated a clear commitment to putting America first, and I am optimistic about the future of our nation under his America First Agenda and strong leadership.
