The opening of Rapides parish’s Louisiana Deserves Better recall petition drive at Bringhurst city park Saturday. May 30 saw over 50 voters standing in line waiting for the event to start.  Per Rapides parish lead, Erin Tracy, over 1,000 voters from Rapides and neighboring parishes came steadily throughout the day to sign petitions to recall Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill.

Louisiana Deserves Better is a state-wide project begun in May to recall Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill. Voters in East Baton Rouge parish may also sign a petition to recall Baton Rouge Mayor Sid Edwards. In order to be successful, around 600,000 signatures must be gathered by November 2026. Any active, registered Louisiana voter is eligible to sign the petition.
