Louisianans are being crushed by skyrocketing car and homeowners insurance costs, and it’s clear that we need bold action to bring relief. I believe we must tackle this issue from multiple angles—investing in public infrastructure to reduce risks, improving transit options, and cracking down on price gouging in the insurance industry. For homeowners insurance, we […]
Public transit should be reliable, efficient, and accessible to all. Unfortunately, Louisiana’s public transportation infrastructure has been underfunded and underdeveloped for too long, limiting economic opportunities, increasing traffic congestion, and leaving too many residents without viable mobility options. It’s time to invest in a modern, forward-thinking transit system that connects our communities, reduces commute times, […]
The use of private prisons in Louisiana is both a moral and ethical failure that prioritizes profit over justice. Incarceration should never be a business, and no company should profit from keeping people behind bars. Private prison contracts create perverse incentives to increase incarceration rates, cut corners on rehabilitation and healthcare, and exploit incarcerated individuals […]
Higher education should be a pathway to opportunity, not a financial burden that weighs down Louisiana’s students and families for decades. Yet, the cost of attending a public college or university in Louisiana has skyrocketed, putting higher education further out of reach for too many. I am committed to lowering tuition at state schools to […]
Louisianans are facing skyrocketing home insurance premiums, leaving families struggling to afford coverage while insurers continue to rake in massive profits. This is unacceptable. Homeowners shouldn’t be left to bear the financial burden of corporate greed, and it’s time for bold, pro-consumer reforms to bring relief to families across our state. I will fight to […]
North Baton Rouge has long been overlooked when it comes to economic development and infrastructure investment, but it’s time to reverse that trend and make it the thriving economic and cultural hub it deserves to be. My vision for North Baton Rouge includes transformative investments in infrastructure, transportation, and economic empowerment that will create lasting […]
Police officers put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve our communities, and their pay and benefits should reflect the risks and sacrifices they and their families endure. I will fight to increase officer salaries and provide competitive benefits to ensure Louisiana attracts and retains the highest-quality law enforcement professionals. Additionally, […]
Every Louisianan deserves to live in a home and community that supports their independence, safety, and dignity. Unfortunately, many homes and structures in our state remain inaccessible to individuals with disabilities or those facing mobility challenges. I am committed to providing more funding and subsidies to help retrofit homes, businesses, and public spaces to meet […]
I am committed to transforming Louisiana’s online government services into the most accessible, user-friendly, and practical in the nation—if not the world. By leveraging lessons from the private sector, we can modernize outdated systems, unify fragmented platforms, and create intuitive, mobile-friendly applications that put residents first. My priority is to make every state service—from business […]
For too long, Louisiana has been overly reliant on a narrow set of industries that dominate our economy and exert outsized political influence, stifling not only political progress but also the kind of economic innovation that could truly transform our state. I will prioritize policies that incubate and support organic small businesses, local entrepreneurs, and […]
Anderson for Louisiana
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
