Gubernatorial Q&A

Also, is there anything that you would push for as governor that could possibly prevent another mass shooting?

David Vitter: "This certainly highlights the need to focus on mental health issues, which is already addressed in my plan Louisiana Strong...criminal justice reform."

Scott Angelle: "We must be enforcing current laws... ensure we are keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals... not using this tragedy as a reason to restrict a right... or keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens

John Bel Edwards: "47th state in mental health workforce availability... fight to increase access to mental health availability... reinvest in mental health services in Louisiana"
