It’s been a busy few months for the state legislature, with a regular session, two special sessions, and a veto session having occurred since February 1st. We recently concluded the second special session of the year that was called by Governor Edwards in response to a ruling by a federal district court judge to re-draw our congressional boundary maps to include two majority minority districts. However, the Legislature adjourned without approving any new congressional maps, and the matter will ultimately be settled by the courts. Now that I have escaped the traffic and concrete jungle that is Baton Rouge and returned to the piney woods of District 22, I have finally found the time to recap the most significant accomplishments and disappointments of the 2022 Regular Legislative Session that adjourned June 6th.
