This political appointment was such a joke when at 26 yrs old she was appointed to run Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries ! Then to be appointed to ICE deputy director. She was way over her head in Louisiana much less ICE at current times. I would love to know why the Republican Party is pushing her along. This needs to be called out when it’s exposed. No better then the Dems on this crap https://www.foxnews.com/politics/noem-names-charles-wall-ice-deputy-director-following-sheahan-resignation

She is was just looking for some resume enhancements so she could either get a sweet lobbyist position or run for Congress back in her home state.

I hope you don't think anyone appointed to those kinds of positions--whether Democrat or Republican--actually does anything connected with the jobs. Those jobs have always been reserved for politically connected people. Show me an undersecretary, and I'll show you who's actually running a department.

Yall sure she’s republican?

It depends on the elected official doing the appointing. If they have an ounce of grey matter, they'll at least consider the undersecretary before bringing in some friend or doing a political favor. The most effective ones I've encountered have been those who have worked up the ranks and got promoted from the undersecretary position.
The head of LWDF is appointed by the Governor and has more often been a political appointment than a business one for a good while now.

When JBE was first elected if I recall, he appointed former Congressman Charlie Melancon as Director of LDWF. He lasted for a year or two and left.

We had similar here. Some 20 something blonde female trying to take the job of a 60 something lifelong agriculture appointment. You could tell just listening to her she would frick over all the farms if she got the spot.

Cute post, but using your logic, it would seem that it really does not matter who gets appointed to these posts. Guess what...it does. Someone who is qualified and has drive will make a difference.
The people who are not qualified will let everyone else do the work and make decisions. And yes, most of these positions are based on politics, but every once in awhile, you get a political appointment that is qualified.

Your post got me curious as to how bad it really is so I looked up the last 10 LDWF heads.
Bryant Hammett - longtime state politician (represented district 21 from 1992-2006) appointed in 2006 by Blanco, left in 2007 to run for state Senate.
Robert Barham - A former state rep and state senator from 1994-2008 (when he was term-limited out), before then he served (at different times) as mayor and councilman of Oak Ridge. Appointed by Jinda in 2008 and served as LDWF head until 2016 (when he moved over to State Parks).
Charlie Melancon (as mentioned in your post) - Another former state politician, he served as state rep from 1987-1993, then served as US Rep of La's 3rd district from 2005-2011, then made the head of LDWF in 2016 by Edwards
Jack Montoucet - A former state rep (district 42) who served from 2008-2017 until he was appointed by Edwards. He then served until 2023 when he had to resign amid a bribery scandal.
Robert Shadoin - A former state politician who served as a state rep from 2012 - 2018 until he was appointed to run LDWF in an interim by Edwards.
Madison Sheahan - No prior political office but was then-Governor Kristi Noem's Political Director from 02/2021 - 01/2024, during that time (from 01/2023-01/2024) she also served as the executive director of the South Dakota GOP. She was appointed by Jeff Landry January 2024, served for just over a year then went to DC to work under Noem again.
Tyler M. Bosworth - No prior political office, was Chief of Staff for Sheahan, worked as a legislative analyst for the state House from 2018-2022, appointed to head LDWF in 2025.
Looking back over the last twenty years, we've had 7 different LDWF heads with 5 of them having come into the position after serving in state elected office, one who was completely inexperienced but was appointed as a favor to DC and now one who (at least at first glance) seems to have the least amount of politics involved in his hiring (which is a very low bar).

Resigning to run for Congress…in a D+14 district?…in an anti-incumbent party cycle?
Me thinks she want the ICEstank off of her.

Can it swing a scattergun and hit a Canvasback at full tilt?
I doubt it.
