Who is everyone voting for in District 1?

Skrmetta appears to be in the pocket of the major utilities and Wright seems to be influenced by solar: LINK

Skrmetta also allowed Entergy to skirt a $200 million dollar bill: LINK

I hate voting for corporate hacks, but Leone seems to be a wasted vote.

The Gambit endorsed Wright (LINK ), so I guess that is who I am going with.

I was reading up on this and was leaning toward Wright because the incumbent restricted the amount of electricity produced by solar that could be sold back, then I read that Wright previously ran as a democrat. So Wright is a party switcher, which destroys his credibility IMO.

Thoughts?

Skrmetta is in the pockets of Entergy. I would vote for a raging liberal before I voted for him.

I did more research and this video indicates why I am voting for Wright; he may at least end corporations financing the campaigns like others states do: LINK

Looks like Skrmetta flipped affiliations back int the late 70's as well: LINK
