BATON ROUGE, LA – EASTPAC, a political action committee of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), today announced their endorsement of Edith Carlin for State Senate District 13.
“Edith Carlin is an engineer who has worked offshore, in chemical plants, refineries, and paper mills. For over three decades, she has been involved in finding solutions in some of Louisiana’s most vital industries,” Milton Graugnard, chair of EASTPAC said. “Carlin’s business background and conservative principles will represent the district admirably.”
“We encourage the business community to support Edith in her election this fall,” Bo Staples, Executive Director of EASTPAC said. “This is a critical election cycle for Louisiana, and the business community must support candidates who will work to better the business climate in the state. Edith has a unique set of skills that would serve the people of Louisiana well in the legislature, and we’re excited to support her candidacy.”
Edith Carlin has made Livingston Parish her home for over 30 years. Edith obtained her degree in Petroleum Engineering from LSU, as well as her B.A. and M.A. in Christian Theology from Life Christian University. She currently works as a project manager at Trecon, an engineering consulting firm, and has served as pastor at the Glory of God Worship Center, a non-denomination Bible-based church, for the past 17 years. She is the immediate Past President of the Livingston Parish Republican Women, Past President of the LSU Society of Women Engineers, and has served as an Executive Board Member of the Baton Rouge Society of Mechanical Engineers.
“I understand that creating a state where new businesses can relocate and existing ones can thrive is critical to creating good paying jobs for Louisiana families,” Carlin said. “I’m honored that EASTPAC supports my efforts to bring true conservative solutions to the legislature.”
