Mark my words. He is going to give Landry a run for his money. Every Republican not in the Landry camp (which is a lot) will hold their nose and vote for Wilson.

Great, so we will have 8 more years of incompetence.

Landry will only have to point to the traffic in BR and the shitty roads across the state, and Wilson will be sunk.

Wrong.
Landry may not be a slam dunk candidate, but Wilson will be in way over his head. He will not resonate with Republican voters.

I think you underestimate the harm that Sloth has done.

I don't think Louisiana needs any more democratic leadership, but I think if a republican does get elected to governor, they should try to offer Sean his job back.

Wilson is not a bad guy. But he is the head of the DOTD...which most people in the state view as a disaster. You could argue Wilson kept it from being a worse disaster (I know some that would). But when the infrastructure is in shambles and traffic is a nightmare in many places, he's going to get the blame.
His campaign will obviously be he is the guy to make transportation and development his #1 priority...but the average person won't buy that

I’m not in Landry camp, but if a runoff for Governor were between him and a leftist Democrat, I would absolutely hold my nose and vote for Landry.

if Wilson runs, he will win in a landfall. He will get 100% of the black vote without trying. He will get all of the white democratic votes as well. This election will be just like Obama's in 2008 because Wilson is simply a man of color.

Lol no frickin chance. Those people voted for JBE because he was a safe white guy. There's no hookers and diapers vs honor code this time around in 2023.

Well, if there is one person qualified it is someone in charge of the La DOTD.

There’s no nose holding.
He’s awful.
Proven awful.
He sucks hard enough running the DOTD. Can you imagine every agency.
Is there anything in the state of Louisiana worse, and more unifyingly worse than the conditions of our roads? For those uninformed about Wilson’s sucking, Landry just needs to repeatedly say “Wilson was in charge of roads.”

I'm not saying that the "right" Dem couldn't beat Landry, but a guy whose resume is limited to running Louisiana's highway department isn't that guy...

Did DOTD ever get around to poking holes through the big concrete dam they created along I-12 from Denham Springs to Oneal lane?
You know, the one that backed up 3ft during the flood of 2016.
Nah.

Not if another Democrat gets in the race.
Of the declared/perspective candidates here are my projections:
Landry 24%
Graves 23%
Shawn 20%
Schroder 15%
Hewitt 10%
Nelson 4%
Lundy 1%
Other 3%
In the primary it may not take much to get into the runoff. So depending on the field and candidates, the top 2 vote getters my not get 25% of the vote in the primary.

I have a favorable albeit uninformed opinion of Shaun Wilson.
Posted on 2/16/23 at 8:23 am to toosleaux
i work directly with DOTD as a contractor and they are the most incompetent group i have ever dealt with...a retired DOTD person is the last person i would vote for...

Dude is not even an engineer, he has a masters in public administration. Met him once at a jambalaya cookout at Lamar Dixon . He should be selling used cars or something.

Jeff Landry's dream come true. Wilson will almost certainly make the runoff. Landry wins 54-46. JBE was an anomaly. He beat a nearly unelectable candidate in the first election. He beat a first-time candidate 51.3 - 48.7 in the second election.

Why would any voter think the head of DOTD would be a competent governor?
Just look at our roads? I don’t understand how he could be a serious candidate.
