BATON ROUGE, La. – EastPAC, a political action committee of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), announced its endorsement of businessman Brad Daigle for House District 60. This House seat was vacated late last year when Governor Jeff Landry appointed former Rep. Chad Brown to be commissioner of the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control. Daigle has one opponent in the February 7 election to fill the seat.
EastPAC is comprised of entrepreneurs and business leaders from Louisiana’s southwest region who support candidates championing free-market values and economic reforms that stimulate growth and retain families in their community.
“We believe Brad Daigle possesses the leadership and entrepreneurial spirit we need more of in the Louisiana Legislature,” said Scott Oliphant, EastPAC chair. “As a dedicated community leader and small business owner, he understands the challenges hardworking men and women face and is committed to creating opportunities that help them thrive. His vision, resilience and dedication make him the advocate that we think families and business owners in House District 60 deserve.”
Daigle, Chief Executive Officer and President of a private insurance and financial services firm, has been serving Louisiana families for decades, gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience about the problems confronting many of his neighbors, from education to public safety to infrastructure, and most particularly with insurance affordability. Always eager to improve his community, he participates in several boards and organizations, including as Port Commissioner, that make meaningful contributions to Iberville and Assumption Parishes.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of EastPAC and grateful for their support,” said Daigle. “Their commitment to pro-business policies aligns with my vision for a stronger Louisiana. I look forward to working alongside the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry and other dedicated public servants to champion economic growth, support the next generation of entrepreneurs and create more opportunities for hardworking citizens across our state. Serving as District 60’s voice in the Louisiana Legislature is a responsibility I will very much take to heart.”
EastPAC is a non-partisan political action committee comprised of business leaders, community leaders and taxpayers dedicated to recruiting and supporting candidates who champion the principles of free enterprise and create job-growth policies.
