Governor profile and administration information
Meet the Governor
Governor Jeff Landry's leadership is rooted in a deep commitment to Louisiana and a career dedicated to public service. A veteran of Operation Desert Storm, former police officer, and successful small business owner, Landry went on to serve as a U.S. Congressman and Louisiana Attorney General before being elected Governor.
As Governor, Landry has prioritized pro-growth policies—moving Louisiana’s economic outlook from 31st to 18th in just over a year. In his first year, he enacted historic tax cuts for Louisianians, which has helped bring in over $80 billion in investments to our State.
Governor Landry has led major education reforms—expanding school choice, empowering parents, and helping Louisiana achieve its highest student testing scores in a generation. The state has risen 11 spots on the Nation’s Report Card in just 13 months.
On public safety, Landry has championed law enforcement and advanced criminal justice reforms aimed at accountability.
Under his administration, violent crime in New Orleans has dropped by 43%—one of the steepest declines in the nation.
Governor Landry resides in Broussard with his wife, Sharon, and their son, JT.
