Governor-elect Jeff Landry announced that Taylor Barras will be the Commissioner of Administration and Patrick Goldsmith will be the Deputy Commissioner of Administration.
“It is through the Commissioner of Administration and his office that efficiencies, savings, and streamlining of state government can happen. This is where protecting the taxpayer starts. Both Taylor and Patrick have extensive backgrounds in public service and finance, and I am confident these two men will work to ensure our State is fiscally responsible and responsive to our citizens,” said Governor-elect Jeff Landry.
“I am honored to serve Louisiana as the Commissioner of Administration. With my extensive background in finance, I am confident we can deliver a budget to the people of Louisiana that is both thoughtful and responsible with the taxpayer’s money,” said Taylor Barras.
“After working 27 years for the legislative branch and 3 for local government, I am honored for the opportunity that Governor elect Jeff Landry has given me to work in his administration. I will bring the same objectivity, transparency, and innovation to the executive branch that I brought to the legislature and Ascension Parish. I will focus on making the administrative operations more efficient and effective so the great state of Louisiana can be a better place,” said Patrick Goldmsith.
