Attorney General Jeff Landry’s recent annual alligator hunt event appeared to be an un-official launch of his campaign for Governor in 2023. At the event, people passed out “Team Landry Governor” merchandise. “LAPolitics.com” publisher Jeremy Alford says that’s a good indication he intends to run, however…
“No official announcement from Jeff Landry. Last time I reached out to his folks, though, they told me ‘when we announce, you’ll know it,'” Alford says.
Landry’s event was attended by numerous deep-pocketed Republican supporters, and political celebrities like Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle. Photos posted on Facebook show the Landry merchandise pretty plainly. Alford says anyone could have supplied the hat & t-shirts, and the most important thing is Landry’s eventual official announcement.
“Because as soon as he does announce for governor, that triggers all kinds of different reporting requirements and legal guidelines that he would have to follow as a candidate.”
So far, Lt. Governor Bill Nungesser has announced his intention to run next year, and state Treasurer John Schroder is expected to make an official announcement soon. Alford says an actual official announcement from The Attorney General may not come until the November mid-term election.
“I am most interested to see what Jeff Landry does next, because so far… it’s not an announcement from his own mouth or from his own campaign.”
