National Whistleblower Day An Expression of Gratitude
Today, I’m honored to express my sincere gratitude for being recognized on National Whistleblower Day on Capitol Hill. Thank you for being here. Every July, we celebrate this day and I think deeply about the event’s importance. With your support, I can continue to promote laws for whistleblowers in Louisiana.
Nationally

First, thank you to the National Whistleblower Center for inviting me and to Stephen Kohn for providing Handbooks for Whistleblowers. Also, I want to express gratitude to Jane Turner, FBI Whistleblower and Board Member of the National Whistleblower Center. Her unwavering support and resources help us with the adversity we face for exposing wrongdoing.

Locally
Also, Special Agent Jeff Adolph with JPOIG deserves thanks on this National Whistleblower Day, for his confidential investigations. He found misuse of government funds, fraud, and abuse in Jefferson Parish. I also thank Louisiana Senator Pat Connick for his excellent communication and continued guidance. Additionally, the Louisiana Ethics Administration has been so helpful with its Ethics and campaign finance opinions. Specifically, Kathleen Allen who helped with my questions and training.
Legislators
Finally, a special appreciation to the many legislators who offer support and insight to the Whistleblower Protection Act. Your support strengthens my dedication to progressing my Whistleblower Protection Advocate (WPA) Certification, Education and Training. I can’t thank you enough.
I wish you all well.
