US Rep Clay Higgins (R) in campaign ad supporting Jeff Landry for governor.
In ten months, Louisiana voters will go to the polls to elect the state’s next governor. Southwest Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins said he’s supporting the first Republican, Attorney General Jeff Landry, who has officially announced his candidacy. In the video ad, Higgins is shown driving his vehicle and talking to the camera about Landry.
“Louisiana needs a conservative governor, that’s willing to champion Louisiana values. I know Jeff Landry and he’s a warrior that will fight for Louisiana’s people,” said Higgins.
Republicans like Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser and Treasurer John Schroder, who are also considering running for governor, have criticized the state party for its early endorsement of Landry. Higgins disagrees.
“I’m honored to support him for governor, and I’m very proud of the state party, the LAGOP, has united behind Jeff Landry for governor. Which I believe is wise and strategic,” said Higgins.
Less than a week after he was re-elected to a second-term Senator John Kennedy stated he was considering a run for governor but has yet to make it official. Higgins, who was re-elected to his fourth congressional term in November is backing Landry for the state’s highest office.
“It’s encouraging that the state party is sharp enough to get behind Jeff Landry for governor, I certainly am,” said Higgins.
