Upcoming events in Louisiana politics: August to October 2024
Update on local political events in South Louisiana
Hello all,
We are only 74 days until this Fall’s November election. Consequently, there will plenty of local political events in South Louisiana between now and election day.
The next few months are going to be a busy time for the Louisiana First Standard. Therefore, I wanted to inform you about some of the events that I plan to attend in the upcoming weeks.
Without further ado, let’s look at 4 groups with upcoming events in Jefferson Parish:
#1 Louisiana Republican Assembly (LRA) “Surge events” (Sept & October)
As I mentioned in another post earlier this month, the Louisiana Republican Assembly (LRA) will host four “surge events” throughout South Louisiana this fall. These events will serve as “Get out the Vote” operations targeting local “Louisiana First” voters. Additionally, these events will seek to sign up local voters to their local LRA chapter.
Here are the dates and locations of the 4 “surge events”:
-Lafayette area: September 14th
-Greater New Orleans area: September 28th
-Baton Rouge area: October 5th
-Northshore area: October 19th
I will provide more information about these events here on the Louisiana First Standard once it becomes available.
# 2 Home Defense Foundation (HDF) September meeting: Sept. 5th
-Details: September 5th, 7pm @ CC’s coffee on Metairie Road (701 Metairie Rd, Metairie, LA 70005)
Next month, the Home Defense Foundation (HDF) is hosting one of its monthly meetings. At this meeting, state representative Debbie Villio will speak to this group of conservative activists and receive the Hero of Home Defense Award.
We here are the Louisiana First Standard are slated to speak for a few minutes at this meeting, so I hope you all in Metairie!
#3 MAGA Fest (September 13th-14th): Kenner, LA
-Details: Clarion Hotel (Address 2829 Williams Blvd, Kenner, LA 70062)
Next month, local “Louisiana First” patriots will come together for the 1st annual MAGA Fest Leadership Summit in Kenner, Louisiana. This two-day convention will host a plethora of “Louisiana First” speakers, networking, and media exhibits.
Here is a description of the summit from the Maga Fest website:
“MagaFest is an uplifting educational conference featuring diverse distinguished National and Local Community Leaders, Entertainers and Politicians sharing common sense answers to the problems we face in America, today. With topics ranging from Inflation to Gun Control, Borders to Crime, MS24 emphasizes the unity our citizens crave by keeping God, Family, Constitution and America First.”
We here at the Louisiana First Standard are proud to announce that we will be speaking at MAGA Fest!
Tickets run $125+ for this event. Your ticket will grant you admission to both days of the summit and the closing dinner on Saturday night.
#4 Voter Registration Drives (Aug & Sept)
In August and September, the Greater New Orleans Republican Women (GNORW) are hosting voter registration drives at two local gun show events in the Greater New Orleans area.
The first voter registration drive will take place this weekend at the Alario Center on the West Bank of New Orleans. The second one will take place in Kenner at the Pontchartrain Center during the weekend of September 14-15.
The details of these events are available on the GNORW website (August drive link & September drive link):
