Interesting development.
Not unexpected. He ran for Congress in 2004, but dropped out and demurred to Bobby. He just won election to a State Senate seat, so now we’re going to have to pick that all over again...man this’ll be a busy year here in Jeff. Parish.
I suspect if no other Jefferson Parish candidate jumps in the race, Scalise will be favored. He’ll sweep this area, while Treen, Morris, and Davis split the Northshore vote.
I had assumed that Scalise would run-—I’m just so surprised he didn’t announce the minute that Jindal was announced as having won the governorship outright in the jungle primary.
From what I recall from his protracted 2004 run, he’s a solid conservative.
