President Joe Biden has appointed Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards to his bipartisan Council of Governors, a group focused on elevating federal and state collaboration on major homeland security issues.
“It is an honor to join my fellow governors in serving as a critical link between the states and the federal government, especially as we face important issues like the COVID-19 pandemic, improving our physical and cyber infrastructure, and addressing the ongoing climate crisis, among other things, Edwards said in a statement.
Homeland security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall told the Associated Press Biden has made clear from the start of his presidency that “he expects us to work proactively with our state and local partners to effectively meet the complex homeland security challenges that we face today and to prepare for what is coming our way.”
