Sen. Troy Hebert of Jeanerette says he changed to no party affiliation because he wants the freedom to support both Democratic and Republican ideas. He says he thinks the change shows his willingness to work with lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle.
Hebert is in his first term as a state senator. Before that, he was a member of the state House of Representatives for 12 years. He's known for his colorful anecdotes, stories of rural Acadiana and often fiery speeches in defense of the "little man."
Hebert joins three House members who are registered with no party affiliation.
