As a former Assistant Clerk of the Louisiana House of Representatives, former Deputy Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, and former State Director for U.S. Senator John Breaux — in addition to appointments under five Louisiana Governors, I bring unmatched experience and is prepared to deliver real solutions on day one.I have beenmarried to Renée Boutte Myer for over 30 years, we have oneMadelyn Myer, and two rescue dogs, Atticus and Barry. My wife Renée and I ,have also served as foster parents to several children over the years. MaI am a member of St.Francis Xavier Catholic Church and a Lifetime Member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
  • Stronger Schools I grew up in a teacher’s home and I know firsthand the impact a great education can have. As a father, I want every child to have the same opportunities to succeed. I'll fight to make sure schools are funded, teachers are supported, and students have the tools they need to build a bright future.
  • Safer Streets I'll work to build real trust between law enforcement and the people they serve, invest in programs that reduce crime before it happens, and make sure everyone is treated fairly and with respect.
  • Economic Opportunities I commit to building a stronger economy by standing with both business owners and workers. I will champion policies that help small businesses grow while investing in workforce development, ensuring that everyone in District 67 has access to good jobs and economic opportunity.
Stop Crime Before It Starts
Supporting youth programs, job training, and violence prevention initiatives to give people better opportunities and reduce crime at its source.
My parents are my role models because of the example they set for my brother's and myself. Their legacy of hard work and dedication has been the roadmap of my journey thru public service. Their commitment to being a part of something greater than themselves is a true testament of the legacy they set and I follow today.
What you should know about politics, but dont.
A combination of strong character, effective communication, and a commitment to service. Some key traits include integrity, empathy, vision, accountability, and the ability to inspire and empower others
The qualities of my leadership include courage, strength, the ability to communicate effectively, knowledge, judgment, integrity, and interpersonal skills. A particularly important quality is vision, along with the power to implement that vision
​Service and accessibility to the voters of District 67 is first amd foremost. During legislative sessions, it is my responsibility to enact or reject legislation affecting public policy in my district, provide for the levy and collection of revenue to support our District and seek funds for these purposes
The difference I make in the lives of others, the values I live by, such as integrity, honesty, and resilience, which leaves a pathway for future generations to follow
A healthy relationship is crucial for implementing and enacting laws that shape the state's policies and direction and help to advance the citizens of District 67.
Louisiana has a significant amount of challenges over the next few years. We have economic recovery, environmental risks, and social inequalities. Specifically, we need to address economic growth, and combat rising costs of auto insurance and housing. We need to address high poverty rates, food insecurity, and disparities in access to healthcare and education.
Leadership requires experience, knowledge, and skills at the job you wish to acquire. Previous experience means understanding how to shape policies, financial management when addressing the budget, decision-making, and how to turn ideas into action.

Previous experience, such as my own 30 years of public service, separates me from my opponents. You have to be prepared on day 1 to manage your community, deal with real-world challenges, and make important decisions that directly affect and impact the citizens of District 67 lives.
Yes, building relationships with colleagues is generally a good idea. Strong workplace relationships can lead to improved communication, better collaboration, increased understanding of the policies and legislation we all work towards and a more positive outcome for the voters of District 67.
Senator John Breaux who I have had the honor and privilege to work beside for several years.
I'm currently focused on serving the people of District 67 and their needs and concerns.
During my 30 years in public service, I've had the honor of working in the community and not just hearing the stories of struggles, but being a part of the stories of triumph. Every story has given me the strength to keep pushing forward to make a difference.
In the state of Louisiana we have The Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Assistance and Disaster Act, R. S. 29:721, et seq., confers upon the governor of the state of Louisiana emergency powers to deal with emergencies and disasters, including those caused by fire, flood, earthquake or other natural or man-made causes. During these emergencies, we, as the legislators, should focus on oversight of executive actions, ensuring continuity of government, and providing long-term solutions.

House and Governmental Affairs
Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government. Government should be transparent. Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing.
In most cases that have been studied, initiatives and referendums undermine representative government by circumventing the elected representatives of the people and allowing the people to directly make policy. That means excessive majoritarianism and minority groups may be harmed.

There is also the risk of competing initiatives with conflicting provisions can create legal difficulties when both pass, and that when the initiatives are proposed before the end of the legislative session, the legislature can make statutory changes that weaken the case for passing the initiative.There is also the issue of the number of required signatures that has risen in tandem with populations, "initiatives have moved away from empowering the average citizen" and toward becoming a tool for well-heeled special interests to advance their agendas.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
