 Last week, Congressman Steny Hoyer, the Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives came to Louisiana to attend a fundraiser for Don Cravins, Jr., who is running for Congress from LA-07.
Another fellow blogger at the Daily Advertiser, the local paper of Lafayette, was at the event, and had this to say:
[Rep. Hoyer] shared with us, a rather impressive group of folks assembled at the Petroleum Club, that he came to Louisiana and specifically to this district because he knows how terribly under-represented we have been by our current Congressman, Dr. Charles Boustany.
In the room was former Congressman Chris John throwing his support behind Don Cravins - and Steny Hoyer made a point of stating that while he worked with Chris for all those years, he often saw Chris at opposite sides of issues. Chris represented this district, just as Don will. Congressman Hoyer spoke to the lack luster performance of our current congressman, and then gave a ringing endorsement of Don Cravins, Jr.
He said he is making this endorsement knowing that, much like with Chris John, he would be on opposite sides on some issues, but he knows that Don will represent this district well, and always be sure to represent the DISTRICT.

Believe me folks, I've been on the losing end of a campaign where we lost by 3,700 votes, and on the winning end of a campaign where we won by 2,100 votes. Winning is SO MUCH BETTER.
Your vote matters. The vote of your family and friends matter. The votes of your neighbors matter.
You don't want to wake up the morning after the election wondering what more YOU could have done. LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD.
