Firm that gave $115K to Landry's PAC tapped for SpaceX contract

(The Center Square) – A New Orleans engineering firm that has contributed $115,000 to a political action committee closely aligned with Gov. Jeff Landry has been selected by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development for work related to SpaceX's planned project in Vermilion Parish. Royal Engineers & Consultants has contributed to Cajun PAC II six times since 2019, including $50,000 in June 2024, $25,000 in May 2025 and another $25,000 in March 2026, according to campaign finance records reviewed by The Center Square. Cajun PAC II is formally affiliated with Gov. Jeff Landry, who served as its chairman. The firm has also contributed directly to Landry's political campaigns, including $12,000 in September 2025. In all, the firm has contributed at least $27,000 to Landry's campaigns since 2014, separate from its contributions to Cajun PAC II. The governor’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Royal declined to comment. The Department of Transportation and Development told The Center Square Royal's Louisiana-based resources are "strategically located near the SpaceX site and allow for rapid mobilization, timely field response and direct coordination with DOTD, Space X, local stakeholders and other project partners." The department did not answer whether the contract
