Hollis is the son of former Louisiana State Senator Ken Hollis of Metairie and is a fiscal and social conservative who will run to the right of the only other announced Republican candidate, State Treasurer John Kennedy, a perennial candidate for office.

Ruh-Roh!

John McCain and the rest of the progressive Republicans and GOP Elites are not going to like somebody this conservative challenging their boy Kennedy!

Is this like the first non-lawyer to run for the US Senate?? Well wait ALGORE was a tobacco farmer.

Is this the second non-lawyer to run for the US Senate?

It’s great that SOMEBODY is willing to step up and articulate conservative principles in this race. With Jindal as governor, Louisiana has the most forceful champion of Republican values in executive office in the country - why the state’s Republican establishment should coalesce around somebody who was a Democrat nine months ago is beyond me.

I wish Hollis the best of luck. Both in the primary and in the general election.
