For Release from Brach Myers, who announced his candidacy for Louisiana House of Representatives for District 45:
“I’m humbled by this outpouring of support and encouragement as I seek to represent my community at the Capitol. This particular seat has a legacy of holding a powerful presence in Baton Rouge, and I would be honored to keep that legacy alive. Lafayette, and this district in particular, truly is the engine that drives our region — leading in health care, innovation, the oil and gas industry, higher education and more — and it needs the right voice to weigh in on decisions that shape our future. I stand here with my son, Emile, as my reason for running, just as you work and sacrifice to give your own children a brighter future. I want to make sure he lives in a world where freedom, prosperity and opportunity exist for all, and in a world where democracy thrives. I look forward to this campaign over the next year, and I hope to earn your support and your vote next October.”
