LSU’s Student Senate passed a resolution Wednesday condemning Jeff Landry for missing a gubernatorial election forum held on campus Sept. 13. 

The resolution was authored by graduate student Sens. Alicia Cerquone and Cullen Hodges. It passed with 42 voting in favor, three against and six abstaining.

All the other major candidates for governor were present at the forum. Landry has frequently skipped campaign stops that involve sharing the stage with other candidates. 

“Jeff Landry will be in Bossier tonight for an event with Donald Trump Jr.,” said Kate Kelly, Landry’s campaign spokesperson, in a statement to the Reveille the day of the forum. 

The resolution said Landry’s absence was “a detriment to the electorate.”

“Attorney General Landry’s conscious decision to participate in a hyper-partisan rally instead of an organized debate with his actual opponents reveals a calculus that disregards the full-fledged, good-faith argument of policies most concerning to the Louisiana State University community,” the resolution said.

The resolution was also backed by the United Campus Workers of Louisiana, the union that represents graduate students, faculty and staff. 

A Landry campaign spokesperson declined to comment on the resolution passing.
