Jeb! 2016 Names Initial Louisiana Steering Committee and
Finance Chairs
Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign has named several well-respected
Republicans to his state leadership team as it prepares to compete for
delegates on March 5. Pat Brister, St. Tammany Parish President and former Chairman of the Republican Party of Louisiana, State Senator Conrad Appel (R-Metairie), State Representative Nancy Landry (R-Lafayette), and Suzie Terrell, former Commissioner of Elections, will build the Jeb! 2016 grassroots infrastructure in the state. Jason Hebert and Scott Hobbs, two of the most successful Republican political operatives in the state, will serve as Jeb! 2016 state political advisors.
“Especially given recent events, the Republican Party must unite behind a candidate with the experience and judgment to lead our nation in the War on Terrorism. Jeb Bush has proven he has the knowledge and ideas to defeat our enemies and keep our nation safe,” said Brister. “We can’t nominate someone who lacks the seriousness to face our enemies, or a track record of successfully managing massive organizations. Jeb can get the job done, and I am proud to support him.”
Leading the fundraising efforts in Louisiana will be Joe Canizaro, Boysie Bollinger, and James Davison.
“On domestic issues, Jeb Bush is second-to-none in terms of the policies he has rolled out to fix our national economy, unleash America’s energy production potential, and erase the harmful regulations the Obama Administration has levied on our small businesses,” said Sen. Appel. “We can trust Jeb to get this done for us because he did it in Florida. Look at what happened on his watch in Florida in terms of educational achievement, economic growth, and quality of life. Jeb firmly believes he can take that record national, and so do I.”
“Jeb Bush has a record of helping poor kids get out of failing
schools and into situations where they can learn and succeed in life.
He has stood up to the special interests that would trap kids in
failing schools rather than allow
them to rise up. There’s no doubt he fights and wins when it comes to
lifting people up out of poverty,” said Rep. Landry.
“I hear from people every day that say we need a leader like Jeb
Bush. We don’t need on the job training, and we aren’t living in a
reality show. Terrorism is real. Poor economic conditions continue to
plague to many places in our
country. Washington is broken. We need a leader who has a proven track
record of doing something other than talking, and that leader is Jeb
Bush,” Terrell said.
