US Sen. Bill Cassidy announced in a statement Friday that he would not seek the position of Governor of Louisiana.

 

The statement read:


“When I was elected to the United States Senate, I was given a job to represent the people of Louisiana and serve the United States of America. For the last several years, I have been working on specific legislation that is critical for the future of our state and country. I don’t know if these solutions will pass, but I know they will not pass if I decide to run for another office. I have chosen to remain focused on the job I was sent here to do and to see these efforts through. Therefore, I will not be a candidate for governor.”

 

This comes after Sen. John Kennedy said he was seriously considering a campaign for the position. Attorney General Jeff Landry was already put his hat in the ring. Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser has stated he will decide by January 2023.
