From Valarie Hodges for Louisiana State Senate - District 13 -

Today, I had the distinct honor of recognizing Mr. Ferdie Genre, alongside his wife Pat, as the Livingston Economic Development Commission 2026 Bob Easterly Award recipient.
This prestigious recognition reflects a lifetime of hard work, leadership and a deep commitment to strengthening our local economy and community.
I’m grateful to Senator Jeremy Stine for joining me in honoring Mr. Genre’s incredible achievement. He shared that his Walker location of Stine in Walker, Louisiana is his top-performing store … proof that Livingston Parish knows how to support strong businesses and drive success.
Congratulations again to Mr. Genre on this well deserved honor. Your impact on Livingston Parish will be felt for generations to come.
