Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus The Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus (LLWC) comprises the women in the Louisiana Legislature, whose collective mission is to: (1) prepare the next generation of women leaders and (2) serve as the premiere voice and leading monitor of issues, legislation and policies, which impact women. Since the election of the first woman to the Louisiana Legislature in 1936, women elected to the legislature have increased dramatically in number, strength and influence. In 1986, the women of the legislature formed an organized group to address issues concerning women. Five women of the Louisiana Legislature formed the Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus, which consisted of all the women legislators in the Louisiana Legislature. The five women were former Representative Mary Landrieu (former United States Senator of Louisiana), former Representative Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (former Governor of Louisiana), former Representative Irma Muse Dixon, former Representative Diana Bajoie (former State Senator and Senate President Pro Tempore) and former Representative Naomi White Warren. The mission of the Women’s Caucus was to fight for the licensing of day care centers, creation of rape intervention programs and to secure funding for battered women’s shelters. The battle has since been expanded to fighting for breast cancer awareness and funding, pay equity, expanded child care services, domestic violence prevention, better healthcare and more economic development opportunities. The Women’s Caucus grew from five members in 1986 to its highest total of 25 members in 2005. Currently, the Women's Caucus has seventeen (17) members, including thirteen (13) state representatives and four (4) state senators serving in the Louisiana Legislature. In 2015, Louisiana ranked 50th out of all 50 states regarding the number of women elected to state legislatures. Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus Foundation 3 P.O.

Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus Foundation In 2005, the Women’s Caucus established the Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-partisan, non-profit organization. The Foundation’s missions are: • To motivate, prepare and develop the next generation of women leaders through educational and leadership development services, activities and initiatives. • To serve as the premiere voice and leading monitor of issues, legislation and policies, which impact women. • To strengthen and promote the quality of life for Louisiana families. • To serve as positive mentors and examples for females of all ages by publicly promoting high moral standards, self-determination, self-sufficiency and good will. • To increase awareness of health issues and challenges which primarily impact women and seek to diminish their quality of life. • To forge new partnerships with individuals and entities who advocate on behalf of women and their related interests. The Foundation focuses on four program areas to fulfill its purpose-driven mission. Those areas of services are as follows: • Education & Civic Engagement • Collaboration & Networking • Policy Development • Leadership Development & Training of Women and the Next Generation of Women Leaders Foundation Initiatives Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus Foundation Educational Advancement Opportunity (EAO) Scholarship - $500 Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus Foundation Scholarship - $1,000 Public Service Announcements (In partnership with Cox Communications) Ready to RunTM Louisiana (New Initiative) Women’s Caucus Foundation Public Policy Leadership Retreat Women of Excellence Awards & Scholarships Ceremony and Reception (May 26, 2015 at 6:30 p.m.) Registration is required for admittance.

Ready to RunTM Louisiana In 1998, Ready to Run™ was created by the Center for American Women in Politics (CAWP) to address the underrepresentation of women in American politics. Ready to Run™ is a non-partisan campaign training program to encourage women to run for elective office, position them for appointive office, work on a campaign, or get involved in public life in other ways. CAWP’s research indicated that women bring different priorities and experiences to public life. Women bring distinctive perspectives into the political decision-making process. Yet research in the field of women and politics has found that among similarly situated professionals in fields (such as law or business) that have frequently produced elected officials in the past, women are less likely than men to see themselves as qualified or very qualified to run for office. 1 In 2013, the Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus through the LLWC Foundation started a public service announcement (PSA) campaign to encourage more women to run for public office at the local, state and congressional levels. The LLWC Foundation partnered with Cox Communications to help spread the word of “encouraging more women to run for public office.” As a result of the overwhelming responses from the PSAs and the declining number of women serving in the Louisiana Legislature since term limits were enacted, the women legislators through the LLWC Foundation developed Ready to Run™ Louisiana in partnership with CAWP. In 2015, women in Louisiana comprises over 51% of the state’s population and 55% of the registered voters. Women in Louisiana continue to be significantly underrepresented in the state’s policymaking bodies. Also, women hold only 11.8% of the state’s legislative seats, no seats in the U.S. Senate from Louisiana and no seats in the U.S. House of Representatives from Louisiana. These extremely low numbers indicate the problems that women face at all levels of political involvement. 1 Gender, Political Ambition, and the Initial Decision to Run for Office by Richard L.

  • Louisiana State University Student Government
    Louisiana State University Student Government Dear LSU Students and Friends, Students in the state of Louisiana are more relevant than ever before. Before the release of the first Higher Education Report Card, students pursuing a degree were not valued in the state of Louisiana—proven by the 41% cut to higher education over the past 8 years. Contrary to popular belief, investment in higher education is the best societal investment that our state lawmakers can make. Because of our initial report card, leaders in the legislature are listening. The Higher Education Report Card is a huge step forward in ensuring that students are heard in the state of Louisiana. The requests are clear. We want stability in higher education and a sincere commitment to invest in the future of our students. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the governor and lawmakers for their work during the longest legislative session in the history of the state. Unfortunately, a session ending in a fully funded higher education and a partially funded TOPS is not ideal for Louisiana’s students. My hope is that the Higher Education Report Card can shed light onto the difficult votes that our lawmakers made during these sessions to ensure that our education would be fully funded. At the same time, I hope students will see that some of their own lawmakers are still not valuing our education as much as they can. We also hope that students will continue to be involved with the affairs of our state capitol by participating in marches and making calls to their legislators.

  • Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives
    MEMBERSHIP IN THE LOUISIANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1812 - 2024 Revised – July 28, 2021 David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library Louisiana House of Representatives 1 2 PREFACE This publication is a result of research largely drawn from Journals of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Annual Reports of the Louisiana Secretary of State. Other information was obtained from the book, A Look at Louisiana's First Century: 1804-1903, by Leroy Willie, and used with the author's permission. The David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library also maintains a database of House of Representatives membership from 1900 to the present at http://drplibrary.legis.la.gov . In addition to the information included in this biographical listing the database includes death dates when known, district numbers, links to resolutions honoring a representative, citations to resolutions prior to their availability on the legislative website, committee membership, and photographs. The database is an ongoing project and more information is included for recent years. Early research reveals that the term county is interchanged with parish in many sources until 1815. In 1805 the Territory of Orleans was divided into counties. By 1807 an act was passed that divided the Orleans Territory into parishes as well. The counties were not abolished by the act. Both terms were used at the same time until 1845, when a new constitution was adopted and the term "parish" was used as the official political subdivision. The legislature was elected every two years until 1880, when a sitting legislature was elected every four years thereafter. (See the chart near the end of this document.) The War of 1812 started in June of 1812 and continued until a peace treaty in December of 1814.
