Larry Bagley believes government works best when it’s transparent, focused, and local. His priorities reflect the concerns of working people — energy and line workers, truckers, small business owners, and families earning and achieving. These aren’t abstract policies — they’re real issues affecting North Louisiana every day.
Louisiana isn’t California or New York — and we’re not going to be. We’re not banning gas stoves, outlawing plastic grocery bags, or taxing cow emissions. I’ll fight to keep AOC’s Green New Deal agenda out of our state because it doesn’t reflect our values or our reality. What works in Manhattan or Malibu doesn’t work in Monroe or Many. Here in Louisiana, we believe in common sense, not climate hysteria. Our way of life is built on energy, and today, sectors like oil, natural gas, and telecommunications are some of the fastest-growing parts of our economy. I’ll stand up for Louisiana’s workers, defend our freedom to live and work as we choose, and make sure government stays out of the way of progress.
Pro-Business Growth Climate for Louisiana Energy Investors
Attracting Investment in Our Energy Sector In Louisiana
Louisiana’s energy sector isn’t just important — it’s essential to our state’s economy, especially here in North Louisiana. We need to send a clear message: we are open for energy investment, and we mean business. I’ll work to streamline permitting, cut through regulatory delays, and build a climate that welcomes capital investment. By reducing red tape and standing firmly behind our energy producers, we can attract long-term projects, create good-paying jobs, and ensure Louisiana remains a top destination for energy development in the South.
Standing With Local Business and Industry
Protecting Louisiana Energy Jobs and Our Economy
From natural gas to pipeline infrastructure, North Louisiana powers the state — and we’re just getting started. Our region holds vast natural gas and oil reserves, and we’re leading the way with investments in new energy technologies like carbon capture and clean hydrogen. I’ll support smart energy development that protects local jobs, grows our tax base, and helps North Louisiana become a hub for long-term business development and energy innovation.
Support Louisiana Truckers
Keeping Our Supply Chain Movers Working in Louisiana
Truckers are essential to Louisiana’s economy — especially in industries like logging and timber that keep our rural communities working. I’ll push back on burdensome mandates, support fair wages, and ensure our roads are adequate to serve both the truckers and the citizens who live in the communities they drive through.
Tireless Advocate for Storm Restoration
Restoring Power. Rebuilding Faster.
After every storm, Louisiana families deserve faster restoration and a stronger, more reliable grid. I’ll work directly with utility providers to demand clearer timelines for restoration and better coordination with local leaders. I’ll fight to ensure our communities are kept informed — not left in the dark — and I’ll push for emergency support systems that prioritize those in urgent need, including seniors and residents dependent on oxygen or medical equipment.
