To commend the Honorable Julie Quinn and to express enduring gratitude for her
outstanding contributions to the people of Senate District 6 and the state of
Louisiana, particularly during her tenure as a distinguished member of the Louisiana
Legislature.
WHEREAS, an outstanding student, Julie Quinn is a graduate of Slidell High School,
then went on to receive a degree from Louisiana State University before pursuing a law
degree from Loyola Law School, where she graduated at the top of her class and served on
the Moot Court and as a board member of the Loyola Law Review and was twice named a
teaching assistant in legal research and writing; and
WHEREAS, although she began a private practice as an attorney after graduating
from law school, she never lost sight of the importance of providing quality education to the
children of this state, and thus began her distinguished career in public service when she was
elected to the Jefferson Parish School Board, where she served four years;
WHEREAS, in July 2005, Julie Quinn was chosen by the people to represent them
as the District 6 State Senator during a special election, and she has proven herself a
champion of the people, earning recognition as "Legislator of the Year" by the United States
Humane Society, the Louisiana Childcare Association, the Louisiana Orthopedic
Association, the Louisiana Chiropractic Association, the Louisiana Nurse Anesthetists, and

WHEREAS, although she is a committed public servant, she is first and foremost the
loving and proud mother of two sons, and devotes all her free time to her children; and

life, Senator Quinn merits a sincere measure of commendation for her singular contributions
