Not even 2 hours ago, I attended a press conference over at LSU's Lod Cook Conference Center where former Senator John Breaux endorsed Don Cazayoux for Congress! This was, I think, a great moment for Don, as he has stressed throughout the campaign that he wants to be the kind of legislator that Breaux was back during his days as a Representative and Senator from Louisiana - one that would work across party lines to get things done for the people of Louisiana. One of the media groups there was LSU's Daily Reveille, from whom I got the picture to the right.
Here's what Senator Breaux had to say:
"Louisiana, especially the 6th district, needs Don in Washington. I know that Don will reach across party lines and work with both sides of the aisle in Congress to best serve the people of Louisiana. We need more moderate members in Congress like Cazayoux - we can make Congress less partisan if we simply send people there who are moderate and willing to work with both sides to get things done. I know Don Cazayoux will be that kind of Congressman."
