We really thought Jeff Landry would have been in jail by this point in his career. But we also thought the same of Billy Nungesser and look at them both just keep chugging along. Anyway..
The chief of staff for Gov. Jeff Landry has worked as a lobbyist for Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the institute that the governor has singled out to receive potentially millions of research dollars as part of the controversial proposed sale of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana.
Landry aide Kyle Ruckert, who also served as a campaign strategist for Landry’s gubernatorial bid last year, held the lobbying contract until late last year when his wife Lynnel took it over exclusively. The contract, which is for representation in Washington, pays $40,000 per year, according to federal filings.
The Ruckerts have represented Pennington Biomedical since 2020.
