Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:
“The people of Louisiana deserve elections free from foreign influence. Thankfully, Secretary of State Nancy Landry and the Louisiana Legislature acted by advancing HB 693. This legislation takes a crucial first step towards closing the loophole that has allowed foreign nationals to influence ballot issue campaigns. We call on Governor Landry quickly sign this critical safeguard to election integrity and keep it easy to vote and hard to cheat in Louisiana.”
