Congressman Jeff Landry Takes Oath as Member of the 112th Congress

Press Release

U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry (Republican, New Iberia) was sworn in today to the 112th Congress pledging to work for job creation, fiscal responsibility, and a smaller government.

Rep. Landry said, "Taking the oath of office today reaffirms my commitment to the great people of South Louisiana and our country. I am determined to work as hard as I can to provide economic recovery, end wasteful spending, and reduce the size of the federal government."

Rep. Landry, a member of the powerful Natural Resources and Transportation & Infrastructure Committees, said that he was excited to be a part of the largest GOP freshmen class since 1921 and a voter for newly-elected Speaker John Boehner.

"I am eager to begin the people's work. Americans spoke loudly in November that they wanted a smaller, more efficient, and more transparent government; I will fight to give them that," said Rep. Landry. "My fellow Republicans and I will work to improve the economy, reduce the federal deficit, and limit the size of federal government."
