I’m hoping that Lenar Whitney wins the 5th (though all the Republicans there appear to be acceptable) and that Clyde Holloway makes a successful comeback in the 5th (he’d be our equivalent of Rick Nolan).
I wouldn’t call Holloway an equivalent of Nolan, since unlike Nolan, he was a perennial office-seeker (though despite having been out of Congress since LA lost its 8th seat in 1993, he has held office as a Public Service Commissioner since 2009).
I was looking up something on Holloway on Wikipedia and discovered the Black GOP candidate for LA Lt Governor in 2003, Kirt Bennett (who ran against both Holloway and Mitch Landrieu), had passed away in 2010 at just 42.
