Hey everyone! Big shout out to u/SweetperterderFries for our brand new banner image created just for us! (NO AI!)

We have been overwhelmed with posts about national (federal) politics. From now on Original Posters breaking this rule will be immediately suspended or banned. There are plenty places on reddit to discuss the current state of affairs. Let's keep r/Louisiana about Louisiana. Posts about local politics and even federal office races and office holders are fine, posts about the President or politicians not from here, belong somewhere else.

Use your upvotes to boost your favorite to the top instead of repeating the names. (reddit polls only allow five options, so this is how we'll do it.)
