The governor spent the past several weeks campaigning in favor of Amendment 2, a sprawling revision of the section of the constitution that deals with state taxes and budgeting.

Landry had pushed hard for Amendment 2 in particular. But voters across the state resoundingly rejected all of the changes.

Gov. Jeff Landry said in a statement that the goal of Amendment 2 was to create better opportunities for Louisiana residents and draw more people to the state, while other officials released statements praising the public's decision to reject the four proposed amendments.
