Louisiana Sheriffs endorse Commissioner Odom in re-election bid

The membership of the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association (LSA) voted to endorse Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture Bob Odom in his bid for re-election in the upcoming fall elections, according to LSA Executive Director Hal Turner.

Turner said the endorsement was made during the sheriffs’ general membership meeting on July 18, 2007 in Baton Rouge at the offices of the LSA .

In issuing the endorsement for the Association, Turner said, “Commissioner Odom came to the aid of sheriffs in the wake of sisters-storms Katrina and Rita. He provided much needed manpower and equipment during recovery efforts and continues to support sheriffs.”

Established in 1938, the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association is a professional organization dedicated to the principles of good law enforcement and to the preservation of peace and protection of the people of Louisiana.
