[quote]Gov.-elect Jeff Landry’s new pick to head the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is a 26-year-old with no background in conservation issues who is stepping down from a political job in South Dakota to take the position. [Before that, she managed then-President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign in that Republican state.

Sheahan has no formal experience in ecology, biology or conservation, though that’s far from unusual for a cabinet job that for years has gone to former state and U.S. legislators. She’s also not the youngest person to hold a cabinet position in Louisiana politics./quote]

Can we all agree that this is the most random appointment we have ever had to any cabinet position in this state?

This is a purely political hire. Landry has bigger aspirations than being Gov. this chick is tied to Trump and Kristi Noem. LAWLF is already a huge clusterfrick. I guess we will see what she can do.

I spoke with her today after the press conference. Very intelligent. She is a hunter and a degree from Ohio state. I can’t remember for sure but the best I can remember it was biology and agriculture. She said they were going to look at the bear situation to see about a real season. Also spoke about the hog problem and the bogie boats. I don’t think she will be pushed around. She did not talk nor act like your normal young person of these days.

Def all politics. I expect Clark to be running the actual department with his background and basically be the next department head once this girl has moved on. I’m hoping for the best. Sometimes, a leader doesn’t have to know everything about a department, but just needs to have right team to count on and have accountability. We will see

Hope she can get more representation across the state out of the Wildlife Commission. Bunch of hacks.

Bahaha a 26 year old from an incredibly wealthy family and crewed at Ohio State is going to have a time trying to understand them south Louisiana baws. There will need to be an interpreter for the first year to year and a half.

Maybe we will get a different La WF out of it. That can't be bad.

Landry looking like a swamp rat.

This has to be a joke.

All of his cabinet appointees appear to have been made by Trump. Similar appointments as agency heads elsewhere, and many senior civil servants opting to retire.
