PRO-MONUMENTS — Former State Sen. Elbert Guillory (left) and attorney John
Dunlap told the Chamber of Commerce of East Baton Rouge Parish monuments to Robert
E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and P.G.T.Beauregard should remain in New Orleans. Guillory
said Mayor Mitch Landrieu is making a misguided attempt to erase history. Dunlap said
a federal lawsuit to block removal of the monuments has a reasonable chance of success.
Key to Victory in November Is Swing States
Woody Jenkins
Editor
In analyzing the general election in November, it is important to
keep our eyes on the ball.
While the media will talk incessantly about women and Latinos, they are really not what the
election will be about at all. The
general election is fought state by
state. You have to look at the swing
states to understand a candidate’s
path to victory.
What to Ignore. Polling in
states like California is completely
irrelevant to what is going to happen, because California is going to
vote Democrat. Forget what men
think, what women think, what Latinos think, and what non-Latinos
think in the states that are either
solidly Democrat or Republican.
Those numbers are irrelevant and
will only confuse you. Keep your
eyes on polling in the swing states!
The Magic Number. It takes
270 votes to win in the Electoral
College, in order to be elected
President. Romney carried states
r
“
We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the
false song of globalism. The nation state remains the true foundation for happiness and harmony. I am skeptical of international
unions that tie us up and bring America down. Under my administration, we will never enter America into any agreement that
reduces our ability to control our own affairs.
— Donald J. Trump
with 206 electoral votes. All of
those states are Republican-oriented states. Trump must hold those
states. He will need at least 64 additional electoral votes in order to win.
The swing states where a Trump
victory is reasonably possible are
Florida (29), Iowa (6), Michigan
(16), Nevada (6), New Hampshire
(4), New Mexico (5), Ohio (18),
Oregon (7), Pennsylvania (20), and
Virginia (13).
Of these, the most important are
Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia. These
six states could add 102 electoral
votes — far more than enough for
victory. In those swing states, Latinos are important only in Florida
and Nevada, but most Latinos in
Ronald Reagan
Newsmaker Luncheon
Florida are Cuban and very conservative. The so-called Latino vote
is concentrated almost entirely in
non-swing states and thus not so
important.
Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania are rust belt states hard hit
by the loss of manufacturing jobs.
Trump will be very competitive
there.
Virginia is a Southern state with
a growing liberal population in the
Washington, DC, area, but overall
the state is still very competitive.
Nevada is a Western state where
Trump is strong.
New Hampshire gave Trump
a good vote in the primary and it
could easily fall in his column.
The point is, each of the swing

states is unique with its own unique
issues. Don’t be distracted by the
constant harping on women and
Latinos and focus instead on how
to win each one of those states.
Trump truly has the chance to
“re-write the electoral map.”
HHH
Pro-Lifers Optimistic. Donald
Trump is winning praise from prolife leaders for hiring a top pro-life
advocate as a key domestic policy
advisory.
The resumptive GOP nominee
hired long-time conservative congressional aide John Mashburn as
his policy director. Mashburn is
pro-life and has worked for prolife lawmakers including the late
Sen. Jesse Helms, former Senate
Republican leader Trent Lott and
current North Carolina Sen. Thom
Tillis.
As the Washington Examiner reports, pro-life groups see the move
as Donald Trump making serious
overtures to pro-life voters and hail
it as Trump indicating he will govern in a pro-life manner if elected
president.

Delgado Grilled on Opposition to St. George
BATON ROUGE— Metro Councilman
John Delgado brought his campaign
for Mayor-President to the Ronald
Reagan Newsmaker Luncheon Tuesday and outlined his plans for CityParish government, especially fighting crime. He said crime is the No.
1 problem facing the parish, and he
wants to add 200 officers to the Baton Rouge Police Department.
The outspoken Republican who
takes a liberal position on some hot
button issues was given a chance to
back off from some of his harsh attacks against conservatives in the
past, but he refused to do so.
When asked if he would retract his
comparison of supporters of incorporating the City of St. George with
the Taliban (a terrorist group in the
Middle East), Delgado said he was
not very politically correct and that
the comment was made during “a
heated time,” but he did not retract it.
Dwight Hudson, himself a candidate for Metro Council, told Delgado that his public statements on
those who disagree seem to take on
a pattern of demagoguery. “You talk
about being ‘Better Together’ but
when it comes to supporters of St.
Mayoral Candidate
Refuses to Back Off
Calling Supporters of
St. George ‘Taliban’
Metro Councilman John Delgado, candidate for Mayor-President Nov. 8
George or opponents of the Fairness
Ordinance, you don’t bring us together.” Delgado responded that “I am
who I am.”
The first-term Councilman said
he will help create good-paying jobs
with economic development. One
untapped resource is the parish’s 12
miles of undeveloped river frontage.
Improving traffic problems will
also be a priority, he said. He discussed the Loop and expanding the
Green Light Program. He said the
City Parish should be part of solving
the education problem in the parish by
expanding Head Start and recruiting
great charter providers to the parish.
Delgado said supporters of St. George
should work together to fix the parish’s problems, but St. George leader
Norman Browning told him he called
a meeting of Metro Councilmen to
address the problems at Woodlawn
High School, and only one — Buddy
Amoroso — bothered to come. “None
of the Councilmen who say we need
to ‘work together’ showed up, nor
did Better Together or One Community, One School System.” he said.

Trump Campaign Bringing in Republicans, Democrats
Trump Win Energizes Local Republicans
TRUMP VICTORY PARTIES — As the Presidential campaign unfolded, supporters of Donald Trump gathered for election parties across the state. Some of those participating in
Baton Rouge were Kristina Murphy, Andy Bernard, delegates Glenda Pollard and Lennie Rhys, state chairman Woody Jenkins, state coordinator Fletcher Fitzpatrick, and Tracy Garcia.
ORGANIZATION ENERGIZED — Since the Republican Presidential nominating process was decided by the Indiana primary, the Trump organization in Louisiana has stayed
together and been energized by the addition of many supporters of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and other candidates. The Republican Party of East Baton Rouge Parish endorsed Trump
and Cruz in December, and the party’s headquarters at 711 Jefferson Hwy. has been a source of signs, literature and other materials for all the candidates. Shown above at Trump
election parties are Leslie Alexander, Connie Zimmerman, Merle Shannon, Glenda Pollard, Carole Thomas, Lynn Coxe Graham, and Gary and Martha Huckaby.

Legislators on Sanctuary Cities, Liberty
Chamber EBR
Hears Legislators
On Hot Topics
Facing Session
BATON ROUGE— Legislators handling key bills on
sanctuary cities and religious liberty described their
legislation at a meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce
of East Baton Rouge Parish.
Rep. Jay Morris (R-Monroe) is the author of HB
453 on sanctuary cities. A
so-called sanctuary city is
a city which has a policy
against turning over illegal aliens to federal immigration officials. There
are two sanctuary cities in
Louisiana — New Orleans
and Lafayette. Morris’ bill
provides that if a sanctuary city releases an illegal
alien who should have been
turned over to ICE and that
alien subsequently commits
a crime against a citizen,
the victim can sue the sanctuary city for the damages
he sustained. The damage
must be reasonably related
to the release.
Morris’ bill passed the
House 65-20 and is now
pending in the Senate and
Governmental Affairs Committee, where it has an uncertain fate.
Rep. Mike Johnson is the
CHAMBER EBR — Rep. Jay Morris (left) of Monroe and Rep. Mike Johnson (right) of Bossier spoke to the Chamber of Commerce of East
Baton Rouge Parish on major bills each of them is handling. Morris has legislation on sanctuary cities and Johnson has a bill on religious liberty.
SPIRITED DISCUSSION — Attendees at the luncheon included (left photo) Rob Farmer, Paul Sawyer, and Adaina Watson, (center photo)

author of HB 597, the Pastor
Protection Act, which would
make it clear that pastors
have no obligation to perform a same-sex marriage if
it is contrary to their faith.
Johnson said 78 percent of
Louisiana voters supported
the Marriage Amendment to
the Louisiana Constitution,
which prohibits same-sex
marriage. Yet now the U.S.
Supreme Court has forced
states to perform such ceremonies. The bill would
prevent that decision from
being used to infringe on
the consciences of members
of the clergy.
The bill appears to limit
its protection to clergy affiliated with organizations approved under Section 501(c)
(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code. One member of the
Chamber EBR asked Johnson if that were a flaw in the
bill. Johnson said the bill
does not say they must be
approved under 501(c)(3)
but eligible for approval.
Johnson’s bill passed the
House 80-18 and is pending in the Senate Judiciary
B Committee,where it too
faces an uncertain outcome.

One of my favorite photos — That’s me, Scott Wilson, on the left posing with former Councilman Joe
Greco. Between the two of us, we have represented Central for 24 years on the Metro Council. Oh,
that guy in the picture on the right? That’s me in 19XX when I was a senior at Redemptorist High!
As your Metro Councilman, I am so proud of our graduates of
Central High School and Central Private School! You will always
remember your high school years, especially the sporting events,
the great teachers, and friendships, some of which may last a lifetime. I fondly remember my days at Redemptorist High and all
that wonderful school gave to me. Treasure your friendships, your
memories, and your great alma mater! Good luck for the future!

I did! After all, I wasn’t always the

DEPENDABILITY
As an employer, we find that one of the most important factors in success is
dependability. 80% or more of life is about showing up and doing what you are
supposed to do — showing up at school, showing up at work, showing up to
vote, meeting deadlines, paying bills, and fulfilling commitments to your clients,
business associates, spouse, children, and loved ones. Dependability is about
character, and character is absolutely essential to building a successful life.
We want to honor these four students who have been recognized as their
school’s Most Dependable Students. Congratulations on being a role model!

The Remarkable Story of the

Redemptorist Wolves
Who Became
Central Private School Rebels
Central Private Class of 2016
REDEMPTORIST WOLVES WHO BECAME CENTRAL PRIVATE SENIORS — Front Row: Trevor Andre’, Rebecca Armanini,
Rachel Lessard, Alyssa Landry, Stephanie Tassin, Gillian Barrios, Hunter Harris, Todd Watson Back Row: Hunter Todd,
Jeremy Gajan, Connor Callihan, Cameron Callihan, Dylan Iueli, Trent Myrick, Matthew Lanoux. Not shown: Tyler Donaldson
When the Diocese of Baton Rouge unexpectedly closed Redemptorist High School last year,
it seemed like a disaster for Redemptorist’s close-knit senior class. They could have scattered to schools throughout the Baton Rouge area. Instead, they decided to stay together
and attend Central Private School. The new students were welcomed with open arms by CPS’
administrators, teachers, and students. The new students were integrated into the life of
Central Private, and they excelled! Old friendships continued but new friendships were made.
Those students who came from Redemptorist to CPS have experienced two quite different cultures, and they will always proudly be both Redemptorist Wolves and Central Private Rebels!

Commencement = A Beginning
To the graduates of 2016: As you walk across the
stage and receive your diploma, you will commence a
new chapter in your life. Our schools in Central have
well prepared you for the next step. Once your formal education is complete, you will get a good job or
start a business. Hopefully, you will become a property owner, and that will bring you into contact with
the Assessor’s office. Our job is to assess property
fairly and equitably in accordance with law. We want
you to know that when you become a property owner,
our door is always open to assist you! Thank you so
much for the opportunity to serve you!
