The Supreme Court made the decision Monday night its ruling Louisiana’s congressional maps are unconstitutional will go into effect right away. This means there will not be the customary 32-day waiting period for the losing party to file a rehearing. Hours before that decision came down, Congressman Cleo Fields argued Governor Landry’s suspension of the US House primary elections was premature due to the waiting period and because votes have already been cast…:

CUT 6 (11) “for our freedoms”

Landry says allowing the election to proceed would undermine the integrity of the system.

The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee will begin public discussion on a new congressional district map Friday. Chairman Caleb Kleinpeter says this will give voters a chance to share their thoughts…:

CUT 7 (06) “or against it”

This morning on Moon Griffon’s statewide radio talk show, two of the main candidates in the US Senate Republican primary will face off. Incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy declined the invite to debate John Fleming and Julia Letlow. Griffon says they plan to cover a wide variety of topics…:

Cut 12 (10) “41-trillion in October?”

The debate will be streamed live just after 9am, and can be heard on radio stations throughout the state.

Meanwhile Cassidy has explained why all of his campaign messaging has been targeting Letlow, even though recent polls indicate Fleming is in the lead…:

CUT 15 (07) “focused on our attention”

Early voting is underway for the May 16th elections.
