Louisiana House welcomes Terry Landry Jr as newest state representative

The Louisiana House of Representatives convened on May 19, 2025, to address several key matters, including the swearing-in of a new member and routine procedural actions. The session began with an opening prayer led by President Almodai, who emphasized the importance of gratitude and reflection as members returned to the Capitol after the weekend.

One of the significant highlights of the meeting was the formal introduction of Terry Landry Jr., who was elected to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Larry Selders. The Secretary of State, Nancy Landry, communicated the official election results, confirming Landry's position as the representative for the 67th District. Following this announcement, the House proceeded to affirm Landry's qualifications, with no objections raised. He was then sworn in, taking an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of both the United States and the state of Louisiana.

In addition to the swearing-in, the House addressed several requests for leave from various representatives, which were granted without objection. The meeting concluded with standard procedural motions, ensuring the legislative process continued smoothly.

This session marks a notable moment for the Louisiana House as it welcomes a new member, reinforcing the ongoing legislative activities within the state. The next steps will involve Landry's participation in upcoming discussions and decisions impacting the constituents of his district.
