About ALEC
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve “model” bills. Learn more at the Center for Media and Democracy's ALECexposed.org, and check out breaking news on our ExposedbyCMD.org site.

For a list of politicians with known ALEC ties, please see ALEC Politicians.

This is a partial list of Louisiana politicians that are known to be involved in, or previously involved in, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). It is a partial list. (If you have additional names, please add them with a citation. The names in this original list were verified as of posting.)

Legislators who have cut ties with ALEC publicly are also listed here.

Louisiana Legislators with ALEC Ties

House of Representatives

Senate

Unconfirmed ALEC Ties

  • Rep. Stuart Bishop (R-43) is unconfirmed as a dues-paying ALEC member. Bishop was the primary "author" of a bill similar to ALEC's "Paycheck Protection Act" in the 2015 LA legislative session, the fourth attempt by ALEC legislators to pass a law to prevent unions from collecting membership fees.[23]
  • Rep. Julie Emerson (R-39) is unconfirmed as a dues-paying ALEC member. Bishop was featured in a 2018 ALEC blog on occupational licensing.[24] Emerson was the sole legislator who participated in a 2017 CPAC panel on "Criminal Justice Reform" along with an ALEC staffer.[25]
  • Rep. Valarie Hodges (R-64) is unconfirmed as a dues-paying ALEC member. Hodges sponsored a 2017 bill similar to ALEC's draft "Protection and Enforcement Against the Commercial Exclusion of Israel" (since removed from ALEC's website).[26] [27] [28]
