Today, Louisiana has 100k less students in the public school system since I graduated, and we pay twice as much to educate them. At the same time, teacher pay in Louisiana has actually gone down when adjusted for inflation. I have continually advocated for a stable funding source to support permanent increases in teacher pay. Since I issued my Executive Order, many school districts have begun to give teachers the much needed raises they deserve! When the overcollections fund reaches the amount needed to pay the stipend, the money will be sent to the school districts. Those schools that already gave stipends or raises exceeding or equal to $2,000 (teachers) $1,000 (support staff) can simply use the MFP stipend allocation to backfill their budgets. There is no requirement in the EO for a double payout, but I do encourage the districts to maximize efficiency and return those savings to the teachers.

For John Fleming to post a video using my husband’s death for his own political gain is the most egregious move I have ever witnessed in any race. I won’t stand for it and I don’t believe Louisiana will either. He should take it down immediately.

Always follow the $$. The rich white guy who tried to rewrite the state constitution for his benefit, Lane Grigsby, is bankrolling the opposition against the clean EBR library vote. His spawn/CEO of @cajunindustries also don’t want the poors to have quality libraries #brgov

When we announced the Meta Data Center in Richland Parish, I said this investment would touch every inch of the community. This wasn’t just a catchy talking point— it was the truth. Great to see our teachers reaping the benefits of this massive announcement! knoe.com/2026/06/09/some-ric…

Louisiana officials signed an NDA, secretly negotiated with Hyundai and agreed to provide a package of incentives worth $2.6 billion, larger than previously known, per documents we obtained. Hyundai is building a $5.8b steel mill. My story: nola.com/news/hyundai-louisi…

I promised Louisiana's teachers a pay raise, and today we're delivering. For too long, teachers have been used as political pawns. That ends now.
