BIOGRAPHY: Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry grew up watching his middle- class parents sacrifice to ensure their children’s success. Inspired by their guidance, Attorney General Landry joined the Louisiana National Guard while still in high school and worked his way through the University of Southwestern Louisiana as a police officer and sheriff’s deputy.

Recognized for his success as the owner of an oil and gas environmental service company, Attorney General Landry was selected Executive Director of the St. Martin Parish Economic Development Authority, helping recruit a Fortune 500 company and spur the economic energy corridor on Louisiana’s Highway 90.

At a later age, Attorney General Landry went to law school, starting part-time at Southern University then finishing his law degree at Loyola University. He then returned to Acadiana as a business attorney, helping job creators navigate the complexities of our legal environment.

In 2010, Attorney General Landry was elected to the United States House of Representatives where he had a 100% pro-life voting record and became known as a ferocious advocate of the Constitution, a leader on domestic energy policy, and a promoter of true reductions in wasteful government spending.

On January 11, 2016, Mr. Landry was sworn in as Louisiana’s Attorney General. In just his brief term as the State’s chief legal officer, Attorney General Landry has already upheld his pledge to make our communities safer by halting federal overreach, fighting public  corruption, and arresting child predators.
