Louisiana! I’ve started a GoFundMe to raise funds for United Way’s Hurricane Laura Relief work in SWLA. I’m making a $15k gift to kick things off! This is a chance to pay it forward, give back & show our neighbors some love! @unitedwaySWLA @UnitedWaySELA bit.ly/CamJordanUnited

On this day in 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state in the United States of America. We have had our fair share of challenges since then, but the resilient spirit of Louisiana continues to live on inside each one of us. Happy birthday, Louisiana! #lagov #lalege
