“Doesn’t this race go to a run-off, since nobody got at least 50 percent?”
No, Louisiana recently repealed the non-partisan, all-candidate primaries.
the strange thing is, Paul Sawyer was Baker’s right hand man in his DC office, and was in the race early, but even Baker would not endorse him.
Something had to be bad behind the scenes with that guy, otherwise the Republican party would have been been all over him.
Another issue is that Cazayoux was in the running for Speaker of the La House but was strongly opposed by Jindal and didn’t get it, so he jumped in the Congressional race. Nobody else on the Democrat side remotely had his positives. If Cazayoux had won the Speakership, Jenkins-or whomever else the GOP could have gotten in the race-would have been the congresscritter-elect this morning
