BATON ROUGE, LA (KTVE/KARD) -- On the final day of qualifying, another Republican candidate for U.S. Senate signed on the dotted line and qualified for the race.
Republican candidate and retired Air Force Colonel Rob Maness qualified at the Secretary of State's Office just before 11 a.m. on Friday.
A crowd of supporters gathered at the office to cheer Maness on as he qualified.
Maness told KTVE/KARD he will be a candidate who upholds the Constitution in office.
He promises to protect local veterans by fighting to dismantle the Department of Veterans Affairs and absorbing it into the Department of Defense, abolishing the VA medical system and giving veterans a medical identification card that can be given to multiple care providers.
Maness said he will fight Common Core, fight to dismantle the Department of Education and distribute that funding in block grants to states so they can make their own decisions on education.
On Friday, Maness also challenged the candidacy of one of his opponents, Democratic Incumbent Senator Mary Landrieu.
