State Senator Dr. David Heitmeier, a native and life long resident of Algiers is endorsed by this writer for reelection to represent the 7th. district. The Senator represents Algiers, parts of Gretna and Harvey, Belle Chasse and was elected to the Senate in 2007.
Senator Heitmeier is uniquely qualified for reelection as he knows the needs of the district and its people. Improvements to the district's infrastructure can be visually seen and is the result of the Senator's ability to find the funding to do so. He also was able to obtain the funding for the Algiers ferry service after the bridge tolls were removed from the CCC. The people of Algiers Point have been dependent on that ferry for over 80 years.
As a Doctor Senator Heitmeier knows how important health issues are to the people and has worked tirelessly to bring health care funds to hospitals, health care clinics and medical facilities. As a result, the quality of life has improved for the district. The Senator is chairman of the states Health and Welfare Committee.
Senator Heitmeier is a serious public official who believes he was elected to serve the people and their needs. He has the character, courage and the will to serve and that is what he projects on the state level. Public service is a noble cause and the Senator lives that by his concerns for the district and the people he represents.
Senator Heitmeier has been a highly effective democratic state legislator in a republican controlled state legislature and this writer believes he should be reelected to continue to represent District 7 and its people.
Note 1: Senator Heitmeier also serves on the following state committees:
Environmental Quality
