METAIRIE, LA – The Board of Directors of the Jefferson Chamber PAC has endorsed Eddie Rispone for Governor. The organization believes thatRispone is the clear choice to work with the new and pro-business legislature to move our state forward. “Mr.Rispone brings a strong business acumen to the Governor’s Office; one that will create a dynamic environment in which companies will want to locate,” stated PAC Administrator Todd Murphy.

PAC Administrator Todd Murphy expressed, “We need a business-friendly Governor. You cannot befor jobs and against business, and we need policies and philosophies that support business development and consistent sustainability.”
The PAC also endorsed Kyle Ardoin for position of Secretary of State.
