Congressman Jeff Landry created jobs as a small business owner, served our nation in uniform and is now a conservative leader in Congress who cares deeply about the future of Louisiana and our nation.

In November Jeff Landry was elected by the voters along Louisiana’s coast to represent them in Congress.

Prior to Congress, Jeff co-founded a small business which supported the oil and gas industry for many years and, after graduating from Loyola Law graduate, spent his days helping job creators in south Louisiana.

He is a former aide in the State Senate where he learned firsthand that many solutions to our problems can be found from listening to the voices of the people, not just from listening to the debate of politicians.

Jeff is a veteran of Desert Storm and left the military with the rank of Sergeant. He received the Army Achievement Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, a National Defense Ribbon, an Overseas Training Ribbon and the Louisiana War Cross from his eleven years of service as a member of the Louisiana National Guard.

Jeff has a background fighting crime in law enforcement.   He served as a Sheriff’s Deputy in St. Martin Parish and as a Police Officer in the Village of Parks.

He worked for the St. Martin Economic Development Authority learning to leverage local resources to create jobs.  Born and raised in South Louisiana, Jeff also worked in Louisiana’s sugar cane fields just out of high school.

Jeff loves the outdoors. As an avid hunter and fisherman he cherishes the rich heritage that Louisiana provides for those that enjoy the outdoors.

He is a member of the National Rifle Association, Ducks Unlimited, the American Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association, National Environmental Professionals, World Billfish Foundation, Knights of Columbus, the American Legion, and the Iberia Parish Republican Executive Committee.

Jeff, along with his family, participated in Louisiana Tea Party taxpayer rallies and he served as a Delegate to the Republican State Convention and served on the Party’s Platform Committee where he helped write the Party’s conservative platform.

Jeff holds a Juris Doctor of Law degree from Loyola University and a B.S. degree in Environmental and Sustainable Resources with a minor degree in Biology from the University of Southwestern Louisiana.

At voting age, having grown up in a community with friends who are Democrats, he registered in the Republican Party because as a conservative he agreed with the philosophy of Ronald Reagan.

Jeff grew up in a middle-class family in St. Martin Parish. He is the son of Edna, a school teacher at Trinity Catholic School, and Al Landry, a small business owner architect in St. Martinville, and is the son-in-law of Mary Carol and Tommy LeBlanc, owners of a successful tool business in New Iberia.

Jeff and his wife Sharon are raising their son in New Iberia.
