Another Democrat throws his hat in the ring to run for the U.S. Senate this fall. Baton Rouge area businessman and self-described advocate Gary Chambers says he’s running to help make life better for everyone in the Bayou State.
In 2021, Chambers ran for the District 2 U.S. House seat left vacant by Cedric Richmond. He finished third, with 21-percent of the popular vote, barely making the runoff. Chambers says he wants to go to Washington, to better represent Louisiana’s working people. He says he supports the Biden Administration’s proposals, including one in particular, “the Infrastructure Bill” – that Senator Kennedy voted against – is going to send billions of dollars to help us build infrastructure and roads and the crumbling infrastructure of this state.”
Chambers says incumbent Senator John Kennedy’s votes don’t necessarily reflect what the people of Louisiana want. He says his “no” vote on the Infrastructure Bill (now signed into law) is an example. He says, if he is elected, he’ll work to secure Medicare For All and more.
Democrat Luke Mixon, from Bunkie, announced his candidacy back in October.
