Landry is a firm advocate of student-led [[prayer]] in public education and appeared on April 8, 2018, at meetings in [[Minden, Louisiana|Minden]] and [[Bossier City]] with [[U.S. Representative]] [[Mike Johnson]] of Louisiana's 4th congressional district. At the gatherings, the two Republicans explained how the [[U.S. Constitution]] protects religious freedom. Johnson and Landry said that many teachers and administrators misconstrue the [[First Amendment]] rights of students and are often intimidated by [[Atheism|atheist]] organizations that oppose prayer.

In April 2018, Landry announced that he will lead a major fund-raising effort on behalf of conservative candidates running in 2019 for the Louisiana State Senate. Headed by [[John Alario]], a [[Moderate Republican]] from Jefferson Parish in [[suburb]]an New Orleans, formerly allied with Governor [[Edwin Edwards]], the Senate has a Republican majority, but many Democratic initiatives win approval in the chamber, and conservative measures are often killed in committee. Landry said that too many of the current senators are "Republican In Name Only'' or [[RINO]]s. He also noted a high rate of turnover is certain in the Senate because of term limits.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/2018/04/27/see-how-jeff-landry-plans-transform-la-senate/557314002/|author=[[Greg Hilburn]]|title=See how Jeff Landry plans to transform the Louisiana Senate|publisher=''The Monroe News-Star''|date=April 27, 2018|accessdate=April 28, 2018}}</ref>
