Since its beginning in 1993, the Louisiana Political Museum & Hall of Fame has honored special individuals who have significantly impacted Louisiana politics. From Winnfield, La. political legends — the Long Family — to singing Gov. Jimmie Davis, and Louisiana’s only four-time governor, Edwin Edwards, to recent political movers and shakers such as James Carville and Mary Landrieu. Each year, a slate of honorees are celebrated for their unique contributions to a political landscape like no other, Louisiana.
