It is time for Louisiana to move beyond the politics of the past and elect leadership that is committed to ethics, efficiency, and economic development. Bob Odom has been Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry for 28 years, and with the help of his allies in the Legislature he has built a political empire that puts his cronies first and Louisiana farmers and taxpayers last.

Farming is Louisiana to me; it is our source of daily sustenance, an important segment of our economy, and our culture. I believe that potential is not being met, and Louisiana's agriculture industry is in need of new leadership.

I'm running for Agriculture Commissioner to bring ethical leadership, efficient governance, and a focus on economic development to the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Louisiana deserves more from its elected officials than it has gotten from Bob Odom for the last 28 years and we can do better.

I am a businessman, a father, and a believer in the future of our state. Join me as we bring down a political empire and grow an agriculture economy for the next generation of Louisiana.

I appreciate your support.
