BATON ROUGE, LA – March 10, 2026   -

The Louisiana Manufacturers Political Action Committee (LAMP) today announced its endorsement of Judge William “Billy” Burris in the special election for Louisiana Supreme Court, District 1, which includes Livingston, Tangipahoa, St. Tammany, Washington, and St. Bernard parishes (along with select precincts in Orleans Parish).LAMP, the political action committee that represents the state's vital manufacturing and industrial sector, praised Judge Burris as a standout candidate committed to principles that support economic growth, property rights, and a fair judicial process essential for business and job creation in Louisiana.

David Cresson, Treasurer of LAMP and President & CEO of the Louisiana Chemical Association, issued the following statement: "Judge William 'Billy' Burris is an exceptional candidate for the Louisiana Supreme Court and a clear standout in this important race. With his proven record as a trial court judge combined with his experience in private practice and deep community roots, Judge Burris has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to the rule of law, fairness, and outcomes that respect the practical realities of Louisiana's energy-driven economy. This is why he has earned overwhelming support from the many business community PACs, including endorsements from the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry’s SouthPAC, the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association’s MCPAC, the Louisiana Oil & Gas Association’s LOGPAC, the Louisiana Motor Transport Association’s TruckPAC, the Louisiana Realtors Association’s LARPAC, the Louisiana Homebuilders Association’s LaBuildPAC, Associated Builders and Contractors MeritPAC and now LAMP. These endorsements reflect a broad consensus among trade associations and industries that Judge Burris will help maintain a balanced judiciary focused on supporting Louisiana's industrial ecosystem. The outcome of this May 16 Republican primary will have lasting implications for manufacturing and the thousands of jobs and businesses that power our state's economy. We urge voters across District 1 to support Judge Burris and help ensure a Supreme Court that safeguards opportunity and growth for generations to come."

The special Republican primary election for Louisiana Supreme Court District 1 is scheduled for May 16, 2026, with a potential runoff on June 27 and general election on November 3. For more information on Judge William Burris and the race, visit www.judgeburris.com.
