"Evan McMichael: Leading Louisiana to a Stronger Future!"
Issues
Invest in local public education
We need to provide more high school students with trade school opportunities. Many young adults who are not college-bound would still flourish as craftsmen and other skilled workers, which Louisiana desperately needs.
Invest in crime prevention
To reduce the crime rate and help eliminate recidivism, we need to invest in genuine rehabilitation for offenders who can be put on the right path. I believe in more probation sentences for first-time, nonviolent offenders, with more education and employment opportunities to get them out of the criminal lifestyle at an early stage.
Invest in local businesses
We need to simplify the tax code and eliminate red tape for local businesses. This will give entrepreneurs the freedom to pursue their dreams, which will result in more employment and wealth in our local communities.

Past Experience

After handling hundreds of criminal cases, I began to notice not only how the criminal justice system could be improved, but also about other patterns which routinely led people to criminal lifestyles.

Fun Fact
I love spending my time outdoors, usually fishing, camping, and hiking. I believe Louisiana is one of the most beautiful places on earth and I'm always in awe of our majestic and peaceful forests and swamps. I also have a handsome Catahoula-mix named King who loves nothing more than joining me on my adventures.
