BATON ROUGE Louisiana’s campaign season opens today, when candidates begin signing-up for elections ranging from congressional seats and the lieutenant governor’s job to local mayor positions and city council races.
Candidates must submit their paperwork and pay their qualifying fee by 5 p.m. Friday.
Up for election are the state’s seven U.S. House seats and the lieutenant governor’s post that Mitch Landrieu left to become New Orleans mayor.
Topping the ballot is Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s bid for re-election to a second term, his first time facing voters after a 2007 prostitution scandal. Vitter faces Democrat Charlie Melancon, who’s leaving his congressional seat to challenge the incumbent senator.
One candidate who won’t be on the fall ballot is Gov. Bobby Jindal. The governor’s office continued Tuesday to dispel speculation that Jindal might mount a GOP challenge to Vitter in the hopes the sitting senator could be vulnerable and the Senate seat could offer an exit from the headaches of governing amid a massive oil spill and multibillion-dollar budget troubles.
