Jeff Landry's Cabinet Appointments: Meet Madison Sheahan, Ralph Abraham, and More
Madison Sheahan, a 26-year-old with no background in conservation issues, has been chosen by Gov.-elect Jeff Landry to head the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in Louisiana. Sheahan, who is stepping down from her role as executive director of the South Dakota Republican Party, has no formal experience in ecology, biology, or conservation. Landry cited her previous work in political campaigns and her role in passing legislation protecting women's sports as reasons for her appointment. The decision has raised concerns among some who question her qualifications for the position.
