Issues

Like you, Paul knows that our state is facing difficult times.  The national economy’s slump and high unemployment rates affect everyone, and St. Tammany is not immune from these difficulties.  What we need most is jobs.  What we need least are higher taxes and bigger government.

As State Representative, Paul Hollis will fight to repeal needless regulations that hinder economic development and will oppose any new taxes or fees that add to the state’s bank account while taking away from yours.  Paul believes that job-creation is the key to Louisiana’s long-term future.  Our people need opportunities, not big government overreach.

Paul has already established relationships with Gov. Bobby Jindal and the other six representatives and three senators who serve St. Tammany Parish, and has open communication with Sheriff Jack Strain, D.A. Walter Reed, and other law enforcement and public safety officials who serve our community.  With strong alliances like these – and with input from you – Paul will represent the interests of our community in Baton Rouge with absolute determination and an unrelenting desire to make Louisiana a better place.

As a graduate of public high school and LSU, Paul knows the value of a strong education system.  He will fight to protect funding for LSU, UNO and Southeastern Louisiana University, while also working to protect Delgado Community College and Vo-tech schools that provide job training that matches employer needs.  He will strengthen the TOPS program, working not just to educate our children but to make sure there are jobs for them here in Louisiana when they graduate.

Being your representative doesn’t mean staying in Baton Rouge.  Paul will host regular “town hall” meetings throughout the district, keeping you informed and getting your input.  And he will always be accessible to you.

Paul Hollis is pro-life, pro-family, and is a firm supporter of your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
