Thank You for Honoring Me with Your Vote...
I am immensely grateful to the Elector’s, family, friends, and loyal supporters who so generously contributed their time and effort to the BarnesForLouisiana campaign during this election season.
Thank You to my fellow resident’s all-Over Louisiana for honoring me with your vote on Saturday, October 14, 2023.
I am deeply moved by the expression of this community, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. To my fellow candidates I extend well wishes and best regards for the future.
To Be an effective leader involves listening to constituents, translating their concerns into workable proposals, and building consensus to implement them.
Being a newcomer to the political arena and my first time running for public office. I would not have received 5190 Votes for the office of governor without the involvement and openness of the people who entrust me with the responsibility to represent them as Governor. From the Seniors to the youngsters, I met on the campaign trail, you have taken the time to share with me your experiences, ideas, your concerns, and your aspirations, and I sincerely appreciate your willingness to discuss what really matters to you. Nonetheless, you also continue to provide me with the ideas and feedback I need to do it as it should be done. For that, I thank you once again. Let's prepare for October 2027. #BarnesForLouisiana

Gubernatorial Candidate - Independent
Benjamin Barnes
My vision for Louisiana is to bring Fairness an Integrity to the Office Of Governor. I have a contribution to make as we all have, we have all come here with a specific intention to contribute something unique to whom we are. And our job is to identify as best as we are able what that thing is that we are meant to do. What is our purpose, our gift, our contribution. And when we do that, the world changes. And in that change, there's a shift that happens that would not be there if it weren’t for you or I, doing what we’re meant to do in a professional and impactful approach, this's my purpose. I offer Me.
