Former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards dies

Lafayette Daily Advertiser Former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards, the charismatic Cajun rogue who served a record four terms in the Capitol as well as a stint in federal prison for corruption, died Monday morning. He was 93. Funeral arrangements are incomplete for Edwards, who entered hospice care last week. Edwards, the state’s last populist Democratic governor in the tradition of Huey Long and Earl Long, served consecutive terms from 1972 to 1980 and single terms from 1984 to 1988 and 1992 to 1996. Before that he served as a state senator from Crowley and then represented Acadiana in Congress from 1965 to 1972. “I’ve had a great life,” Edwards said in an interview with USA Today Network on his 90th birthday in 2017. “I ve been around the world six times and in every state and there s not a better place in America and the world than Louisiana.”
