Jeff Landry Biography
Born on December 23, 1970, Landry served as the 45th attorney general of Louisiana from 2016 and briefly represented Louisiana’s 3rd congressional district from 2011 to 2013 in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Educationally, Landry holds a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental and sustainable resources with a minor in biology from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He later earned a Juris Doctor degree from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law.
Jeff Landry has a military background, serving in the United States Army from 1987 to 1998, with a stint in the Louisiana National Guard during Operation Desert Storm. He was honorably discharged at the rank of sergeant.
Before entering politics, Landry had a law enforcement career, working as a St. Martin Parish sheriff’s deputy and a police officer in Parks, Louisiana. However, his association with a fellow deputy involved in cocaine smuggling led to Landry turning in his badge, even though he remained a reserve deputy until 2004.
Until his election as attorney general in 2015, Landry was an attorney and small business owner in New Iberia.
In 2022, Landry officially launched his campaign for the governorship, receiving endorsements from the Republican Party of Louisiana and former President Donald Trump. However, in September 2023, the Louisiana Board of Ethics charged Landry with accepting gifts and private air travel, alleging non-disclosure of complimentary flights in financial reports.
Despite these challenges, Landry emerged victorious in the October 14, 2023, primary election, securing 52% of the vote and avoiding a runoff. His tenure as governor is set to commence on January 8, 2024.
