Gov. Jindal Announces Support of Sen. John Alario for State Senate President

Statement

Today, Governor Bobby Jindal announced his support of Senator John Alario for Louisiana State Senate President.

Governor Jindal said, "John's been a good friend and a partner over the past four years to pass conservative reforms and help move Louisiana forward. His experience in the House and the Senate is invaluable. John knows the budget process better than most and that experience is critical as we continue to confront fiscal challenges.

"His leadership in the Senate will also be vital as we tackle major education reforms and work to give more choices to parents of kids trapped in failing schools, reward teacher excellence, and hold schools accountable. John is one of the most well respected members of the Legislature and he has a great ability to work across partisan, ideological and regional lines in order to get things done for the people of Louisiana.

"My staff has reached out to nearly every Senator and a majority of the Senate has committed to support John. I look forward to working with him as we continue to make Louisiana the best place in the world to raise a family and start a career."
