Louisiana has a very strong governor.

Sheriffs are strong here as well. But they can only enforce laws. A sheriff can't make executive orders or emergency declarations. A parish president can.

It's important to note that parishes (and sheriff's offices) are political subdivisions of the state. This is different than the relationship between the states and the Fed Gov.
