I've seen his signs around Acadiana. He looks like a giant douche.

So you vote based on looks?

From his page - talking about us paying for storm damage....

With securitization there is zero liability for the utility companies. Basically, we can have 100 storms and the utility companies will have to pay zero dollars.
If you are like me when you read this, you think, “well this isn’t fair”.
We become outraged that the stockholders have all of the benefits with zero liability, not to mention some for-profit utility companies in Louisiana are ranked in the top of the list for dividends paid to investors in the fortune 500.
So, we know something isn’t right, how do we fix it? We have all heard the current PSC officials say, “well that’s the law”, and “it is what it is”, basically just suck it up. Me... on the other hand, I think outside of the box. I wonder who, when, and how to amend this version of the law that is completely one sided. This is what is called stagnation by the political elites; basically, don’t rock the boat that keeps you in office.

Ugh, as someone who works in the utility industry, everything that he says here is wrong. It’s not how regulated industries work.
