Support J.P. Morrell, State Senate District 3

Representative Morrell leading President-Elect Obama though the Gentilly Wood neighborhood in 2007

Dear Voters,

One year ago, on the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I had the opportunity to escort Senator Barack Obama on a tour of neighborhoods devastated by the storm. Senator Obama and I talked about the need for stronger levees to protect our homes, reducing crime, improving our schools, investing in job training, and attracting jobs for a stronger economy.

We had a candid conversation about the pace of recovery in the region. Despite the commitments and responsibilities of a presidential campaign, Senator Obama was in our neighborhoods listening to our concerns as we continue to rebuild our lives.

On December 6th, we have an opportunity to elect someone to represent you in Louisiana State Senate, someone who has worked with homeowners struggling with rebuilding their homes and paying their mortgages, someone fighting to reduce crime in our communities, and attracting better paying jobs.

As a State Representative from District 97, I have served our communities by fighting for our recover and ensuring equity from the federal and state government. I have worked with many of my colleagues on the recovery of our region and to ensure homeowners are made whole. In the louisiana Senate, I will continue to work with the next president to make sure your voices and concerns are heard.

On December 6th, I ask that you cast a vote for our future, the future of our children, and this great region.

Vote JP Morrell,
