Ballotpedia survey responses
Landry stated the following about his political philosophy in a biographical submission to Ballotpedia:[2]
| “ | We must fund education adequately so teachers can prepare students to be either workforce or college ready by graduation. Also when education is adequately funded, property taxes will fall. The constant cuts by the legislature to education harms teachers, which in turn harms students, and that harms our future.[3] | ” |
