Jeff Wiley, former long-time sheriff of Ascension Parish and candidate for Louisiana House of Representatives District 81.
Well, we said on our last feature that would be it until after the election; however, we awoke this morning with texts from Ascension Parish Sheriff candidate C. J. Matthews regarding his contention that former long-term Sheriff Jeff Wiley, who is seeking election to Louisiana House District 81, has engaged in impermissible campaigning.
Specifically, Matthews provided us with evidence that Wiley visited Gonzales Health Care and allegedly engaged in impermissible campaign activities within a restricted period as provided in LA R. S. 18:1334. The photo of Wiley appearing in the nursing home is easily visible on the link just provided, and it says, “4 days ago,” which would most certainly fall within the restricted period specified in the preceding statute.
Matthews told us he wanted to speak on the matter, so we told him to head on over and we’d arrange it. Here is a brief video of Matthews lodging his allegation against Jeff Wiley (plus Burns having some jovial fun entailing a campaign function for future Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry held mere hours before the Matthews video below was filmed) :
October 12, 2023: Matthews outlines his evidence against Jeff Wiley and what Matthews alleges is impermissible campaigning in a nursing home during a period restricting such plus Burns showing a “little love” to soon-to-be-Governor Jeff Landry.
Matthews also provided us with screen shots as additional evidence, so we’ll wrap this feature up with those screen shots:
Ah, what the heck! We’re feeling pretty loose now, so why not include a few photos from today’s Jeff Landry function in Baton Rouge? Here they are:

In what is our final feature prior to this Saturday’s election, Ascension Parish candidate C. J. Matthews assesses a damning audio phone call recorded by Kelsey Delatte, who alleges that she was raped by Ascension Parish Councilman Dempsey Lambert’s son on October 2, 2021.
The audio file was with a public defender who states point blank that DA Ricky Babin and Sheriff Bobby Webre are, “in bed together” regarding not pursuing the probable cause they admit existed and initiating an arrest warrant application at the outset of their prosecutorial efforts. In the alternative, the defense attorney says Babin could have pursued charges on his own (via a bill of information) but clearly wanted to use the secrecy of grand jury proceedings to shield the true extent to which Babin and Webre may have pushed for prosecution.
Her point is well-taken, especially given our most-recent feature on Delatte wherein Webre plays “Devil’s advocate” with Delatte in suggesting that the intercourse on October 2, 2021 was “consensual” and further that, “nobody believes her.” Add in the fact that Webre, on the audio at the prior link, flat-out falsely stated to Delatte, “they found three drugs in your system,” and it would seem that any person with at least a couple of functioning brain cells realizes whose side Webre and, by strong inference by his words on the same recording, DA Babin, are on! We’re still trying to reconcile Babin’s repeated emphasis that he found “probable cause” with his words of, “not having crap” to take to Attorney General Jeff Landry, yet he indicates he plans to ask Landry to look into the case anyway!
Matthews also had very harsh words entailing mail outs being sent by Louisiana House District candidate (and former long-time Ascension Parish Sheriff) Jeff Wiley. Specifically, Matthews notes the irony of Wiley touting “family values” when he permitted a deputy under his direct supervision, Fred Corder, to elude prosecution for sexually-explicit texts and efforts at meeting a 16-year-old Donaldsonville High School girl for a sexual encounter to be comprised of “oral” and possibly “that other stuff.”
Let’s take a look at Matthews’ final visit with us prior to the election with an emphasis on the fact that, whether as Sheriff-Elect or not, Matthews has committed to us that he will continue to shed a bright spotlight on the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office as a result of numerous people who have come forward either to him, to us, or both entailing further instances of alleged corruption on the part of incumbent Sheriff Bobby Webre:
October 10, 2023: Matthews analyzes a 10-minute recorded phone call between Kelsey Delatte, her husband, Beau Delatte, and a public defender and civil litigation attorney, after which Matthews slams House District 81 candidate (and former long-time Ascension Parish Sheriff) Jeff Wiley on what Matthews assesses as pure rank hypocrisy regarding “family values.”
In the video, we indicated that we’d provide the mail outs distributed by the Wiley campaign which Matthews openly attacked as being not just inaccurate but for Wiley’s lack of protecting children from a “child predator” as being (Matthews’ word): “criminal!” Here are the flyers:
We will point out that “Able to tackle the issues that effect us,” should be “affect us,” but Wiley may be willing to stipulate to not being the sharpest knife in the drawer. Nevertheless, he likely didn’t win over the votes of any English teachers receiving his mail out!
Let us now list all previous features with Matthews entailing Fred Corder and Kelsey Delatte:
In a mere three (3) days, Ascension Parish residents will cast their verdict for whether they want the current status quo to remain in place or whether they seek a fresh change from someone who has been willing to expose, from an insider’s perspective, what he alleges are serious shortcomings in the way the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office has operated.
Voters in sections of the parishes of Livingston, Ascension, and St. James will likewise cast their verdict on whether they wish for a former long-time Ascension Parish Sheriff whom Matthews asserts permitted a “child predator” to escape prosecution (Jeff Wiley) to represent them in the House District 81 in the Louisiana House of Representatives!
In today’s Sound Off Louisiana feature, we were privileged to have State Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Pineville) visit with us regarding his recent efforts to have Louisiana GOP members of the House of Representatives execute a pledge calling for unity and transparency in the selection of Louisiana’s next Speaker of the House of Representatives. He made it clear when he launched the initiative that he would not be a candidate for Speaker.
October 9, 2023: State Rep. Mike Johnson visits with Burns about his initiative and the momentum it has gained.
Now, as we indicated in the video that we would, let’s present all of the other recent media initiatives in which Rep. Johnson has engaged entailing his efforts:
As stated on the video, we wish Rep. Johnson much success because certainly the process for selecting the Speaker in January of 2020 on the heels of the Edwards reelection victory certainly was very acrimonious with overhang that lasted for a protracted period thereafter!
