While lobbying for a small group of clients, Burland is best known in political circles for assisting candidates in establishing campaign finance accounts and ensuring that they record the contribution and expenditure information accurately.

Burland, 68, has mostly worked with Republicans over the years but has also assisted a smattering of Democrats, including New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, who has been under federal investigation for more than a year. In the course of that probe, FBI agents have questioned people who donated money to Cantrell’s campaign accounts — which were managed by Burland — to see whether they got anything in return, according to sources with knowledge of those interviews.

Campaign finance reports show that his clients include the Republican Legislative Delegation Campaign Committee, the Louisiana Realtors PAC, the Crescent River Port Pilots Association PAC and then-state Treasurer John Schroder during his failed 2023 campaign to be governor.

The campaign finance reports also show that he’s been a consistent donor to LABI’s PACs and to the Louisiana Republican Party.

Burland also plays guitar and writes songs, and his web page devoted to his music highlights a song of his called “Perspectives in a Coffee Shop.”
