Congressman and Republican Gubernatorial candidate Ralph Abraham raised a million dollars in the first hundred days of his campaign to unseat Governor Edwards. Even though he may be lagging behind his Republican opponent in total funding, Political analyst Bernie Pinsonat says the million dollar mark means the Congressman now has the cash on hand to buy enough name recognition statewide to be a serious contender.

Cut 10 (10)“…of you.”

Edwards started 2019 with 8.4 million and the other Republican in the race, businessman Eddie Rispone has pledged five million dollars of his own money.

Legislation is being introduced by Representative Cameron Henry that would prohibit the harassment of refs, umpires, and other game officials. Henry says it’s not the hecklers or those that might passionately contest a call that are the problem.
