LOUISIANA DEMOCRATIC PARTY STATEMENT ON DONALD TRUMP’S CONVICTION
Chair Gaines: Party is “hard at work doing our part to defeat Trump”

BATON ROUGE, LA — Following Thursday’s news surrounding the jury verdict of Donald Trump’s hush money trial, Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Randal Gaines today issued the following statement: 

“Trump’s guilty verdicts on all 34 felony counts by jurors in New York State Court demonstrate that no one person, regardless of status or former elected position, is above the requirements of obeying the law. 

The untenable, unjustifiable, and unreasonable defenses that have been offered by Trump’s supporters further denote that his MAGA republican base has not only completely lost their moral compass in pursuit of political power, they are willing to compromise and forego the rule of law. 

The only way to defeat Trump is at the ballot box. Louisiana Democrats are hard at work doing our part to ensure Trump never returns to office again.”

“HB800 will not be heard in this session of the Legislature,” Fields said in an interview with WBRZ after his panel met Tuesday. “We are going to have another meeting tomorrow but I don’t intend to put it on the agenda and I don’t intend to put it on the agenda for the rest of this session.

Louisiana Democratic Party is pleased to announce the hiring of Drew Prestridge as the new Interim Executive Director!

May 20, 2024

Today, the Louisiana Democratic Party is pleased to announce the hiring of Drew Prestridge as the new Interim Executive Director! Prestridge was recommended by Chair Gaines and approved with no objections by the newly-elected members of the party’s Executive Committee. Prestridge will lead the party through the current leadership transition and the upcoming November 2024 elections.

A native of Lafayette, Prestridge rejoins the LDP after having served as the party’s Finance Director during former Governor John Bel Edwards’ historic gubernatorial win in 2015. Prestridge is a skilled fundraiser and campaign expert, having spent the last 14 years helping several Democratic campaigns and candidates in Louisiana and across the country.

“Drew Prestridge brings the experience, knowledge, and work ethic our state party needs to rebuild and grow,” said Gaines. “I have a great deal of confidence in Drew to unify the party, set us up for success, and secure big wins for Democrats this fall.”
