Jeff Landry

Jeff Landry is a Republican politician and the current Governor of Louisiana. He has been involved in several recent news stories, including a unanimous Supreme Court decision that gives oil and gas companies a new day in federal court, his efforts to eliminate the Orleans parish clerk of criminal court position won by an exonerated man, and his administration's 'tough on crime' policies which have led to a significant drop in prison parolees. He has also been involved in controversy over his comments on Greenland, including a deal for Washington to take over the island. Landry's involvement in these stories makes him newsworthy right now as he continues to shape Louisiana's politics and policy landscape.
