As the year draws to a close and we stand on the cusp of a new year, it is a time of reflection and forward-looking anticipation. To all my supporters, constituents, and fellow Louisianans, the overwhelming support you showed us on Election Day was not just a victory for a party or an individual – it was a resounding endorsement of a new direction for our state, rooted in conservative values and a vision for a prosperous future.

I am deeply humbled by the trust you have placed in me and other conservative leaders across Louisiana. You voted for change, turning away from the status quo politics that have long governed our beloved state and embracing a future where conservative principles guide us. This shift is not merely political; it is a resounding message from the people of Louisiana, signaling their desire for a better tomorrow.

We stand at a crossroads with a unique and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a Louisiana where our future generations can not only grow but thrive. With a new Republican Governor and supermajority legislature at the helm, we are poised to create an environment that attracts investment and retains our brightest minds.

Our new Governor is ready to tackle the challenges that face us – reducing crime, revitalizing education, creating economic opportunities, and lowering insurance rates. To bring people back to our state and to retain those who call it home, we must ensure that our streets are safe, living here is affordable, and there are abundant job opportunities coupled with an educated workforce.

To those who have left Louisiana in search of greener pastures, we extend an open invitation: Come home, come home, come home! Return to the place where your roots were sown, where your childhood memories were made, and where you can savor the best food anywhere. It’s time to come back to a Louisiana that is burgeoning with opportunity and promise.

As your elected representatives, we understand that Louisiana deserves a government as good as its people. Our commitment is to create a government that serves you – the people – and not the interests of a select few. We intend to build a state government that reflects the very best of Louisiana’s spirit – resilient, innovative, and forward-looking.

In the coming months and years, you will see us put these words into action. We will work tirelessly to ensure that our policies and initiatives reflect the will and needs of the people. We will strive to make Louisiana a beacon of conservative governance, where individual liberties are protected, businesses flourish, and communities thrive.

To every Louisianian, whether you’re here with us or afar, know that your state calls you back. We are building something special here, a Louisiana that is poised for greatness. Your skills, your talents, and your heart are needed to help us realize this vision.

So, as we step into this new year, let’s do so with hope in our hearts and a clear vision for the future. Together, we can create a Louisiana that is not only a wonderful place to live but also a place where our children and grandchildren will choose to stay and build their futures.

Thank you for your support, your faith, and your love for Louisiana. Here’s to a new year filled with progress, prosperity, and the return of our loved ones to this special place. May God bless the state we call home, Louisiana!

Sincerely,

Senator-Elect Blake Miguez
