3. Lower taxes.
4. Opposition to Common Core.
5. Under Jindal, the Louisiana Department of Education allows home schools to operate as registered non-public schools, thus completely exempting them from Common Core requirements and giving home schooling parents greater freedom to choose their children's curricula, instructional methods, and assessment methods than in any other state in the US.
6. We all have quibbles about wildlife issues, but I see the extension of the state boundary out to 10.357 miles and the Louisiana state snapper season as a very positive effort to improve use of an abundant natural resource and well-considered resistance to an over reach of federal authority in poorly managing the fishery.
7. Small things, but I also appreciate the fact that boat trailers no longer need to be inspected and driver's licenses will last for five years. Fewer trips to the DMV is a sign of less intrusion and smaller government!

Very good points. If we wait around for a perfect candidate we'll never vote. Always seems to be the case of "well he ain't as bad as the other guy." Sad really.
