This Week in Louisiana Politics: SNAP, flood insurance, and voter discontent

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — On This Week in Louisiana Politics, a special legislative session began this week to address changes in election dates following a U.S. Supreme Court decision on redistricting.

The session comes amid significant challenges, including the announcement by Governor Jeff Landry that SNAP benefits will cease due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

The expiration of the National Flood Insurance Program as part of the government shutdown has left potential homebuyers in the area unable to secure necessary insurance, a requirement for obtaining a home loan.

Also, a pollster has indicated that Louisiana voters are dissatisfied with the shift to a closed primary system for some elections.
