Baton Rouge – The Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) released its 2025 Scorecard, an annual voting guide that tracks where lawmakers stood on issues impacting Louisiana’s business community, ranging from education and civil justice reform to energy and tax issues.
Thirteen legislators, including Sen. Robert Allain, District 21 and Sen. Blake Miguez, District 22, who represent St. Martin Parish, received the “Most Valuable Policymaker” (MVP) designation for their perfect score on the bills included in this year’s Scorecard analysis.
St. Martin Sen. Caleb Kleinpeter, District 17 was among 28 legislators who earned the ranking of “All-Star,” scoring between 90 and 99 percent.
Parish legislators who scored between 80-89 percent earning the ranking of “Honorable Mention.” were Rep. Beau Beaullieu, District 48; Rep. Chad Boyer, District 46; and Rep. Vinney St. Blanc, District 50. Thirty fourlegislators earned this designation.
“Louisiana is done with ‘good enough,’” said Will Green, LABI president and CEO. “This session, LABI continued to work with legislators to reject the status quo and fight for real reforms to transform our economy, strengthen our workforce, and send a message that Louisiana is open for business. The 2025 Legislative Scorecard is more than just a report card—it’s a reflection of who stood up for free enterprise when it mattered most. Our state’s future depends on leaders willing to take bold stands, and this Scorecard makes clear exactly who those leaders are.”
Nineteen bills were scored this year, reflecting issues prioritized by LABI’s engaged membership through participation in a number of issue councils. Through these issue councils, members provide the insight and expertise that is cemented in LABI’s annual Program of Work, a comprehensive statement of all official policy positions that guide the organization’s advocacy. The policies outlined in the Program of Work determine the weight each piece of legislation carries throughout the session and guides the final votes selected for the annual analysis.
Now in its 45th year, LABI’s Legislative Scorecard is the most consistent and trusted barometer of how lawmakers vote on issues impacting Louisiana’s business community.
In 2025, LABI recognizes the lawmakers who consistently prioritized Louisiana’s business community. This year, 75 legislators scored 80 percent or higher on the measures our members identified as most critical to the state’s economy and job creators, demonstrating their commitment to advancing policies that strengthen Louisiana for all.
Beginning next month, LABI will honor these 75 lawmakers at nine Regional Rallies across Louisiana. These events provide a chance to connect with local leaders, industry innovators and—most importantly—the small business owners who are the backbone of our state’s economy.
