==Legislative record==
In 2008, Geymann introduced House Resolution No. 7 to request that the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries study the issue of escaped crawfish.<ref name=crawfish>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailycomet.com/article/20080405/NEWS/804050302/|title=Crawfish on the loose in Legislature|publisher=''Lafourche Parish Daily Comet''|date=April 5, 2008|accessdate=July 7, 2011; no longer on-line}}</ref> The accumulation of excess water often forces crawfish from the ponds where they are being cultivated into neighboring ditches. Geymann compared the problem to that of meandering livestock in drier areas. The resolution called upon the department to report to the legislature on the extent of the problem and to propose any necessary laws.<ref name=crawfish/>
