Roads, bridges, water and power…They are the machinery vital to making sure our communities function and grow. From upgrading and improving the increasingly important Port of South Louisiana to developing faster and more efficient ways of getting people to work or getting them out of the path of a massive storm, I'm dedicated to improving transportation in the region.

The River Parishes are only partly protected from storm surges on Lake Ponchartrain. St. Charles has a new lakeshore levee, but St. John is still exposed. If I-10 is under water in St. John, thousands of evacuees could be trapped.
