Neil Riser I guess is going to win but I might vote for Angele Davis just for shits and giggles. I'll vote for Riser in the runoff.

I've actually been laughing at some of the ads for state treasurer. It's either piggybacking on Trump's coattails or pledging to fight some issue the state treasurer has no control over like gun control or abortion instead of talking about what they want to do as state treasurer.

State Treasurer has so little power it's essentially Lt. Governor lite. In fact, it's so powerless that you really have to admire the job John Kennedy did turning it into quite the bully pulpit to bash Jindal and JBE and get elected Senator.

Angela Davis is the "dark horse" - reminds me of some of the nags that use to run at the old Jefferson downs back in the day.

I haven't paid attention at all. I've heard good things about Riser before as a man. I'm not keen on Davis only because she comes from the bureaucracy. I have no idea who I'm going to vote for.

I don't live in Louisiana anymore, but if I did, Schroder would get my vote as well.

I'd even put out a yard sign for him.

My criteria is the one who is least like Kennedy. I want a treasurer who will focus on the mundane processing and technical knowledge that the job calls far.

We do not need another hack like Kennedy, parading as a conservative, proposing cockamamie solutions to budget problems he very clearly did not understand.

I think that puts me in the Davis camp. Of Riser and Shroeder I think Shroeder may be a smidgen closer to actually being conservative, but he sure didn't o anything to prove it in the last session.
