Speaker of the House Clay Schexnayder
Louisiana Speaker of the House Clay Schexnayder says he is considering running for Lt. Governor in 2023. The Ascension Parish lawmaker has served in the legislature since 2012, and was elected speaker two years ago. Schexnayder says he has not made up his mind on the matter completely, but…
“A large number of supporters from across the state have been reaching out to me and encouraging me to run.”
Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser has made no secret he’s planning on running for Governor next year, and that would leave his position up for grabs. Schexnayder says he understands that being in charge of Culture, Recreation & Tourism – as well as state museums – is a big change of jobs from leading the House of Representatives. Schexnayder says he will probably make an official announcement near the end of this summer, but – for now – he is fairly certain he’d like to run for Lt. Governor. He says he’s confident he is the right person for the job…:
“Our Lt. Governor…has done a great job, and we need somebody to make sure that we can…keep the pace going and move us forward as well.”
