re: St Tammany Residents - Who for State Senate (11th District)

Reid Falconer is very good people.

He's absolutely not running on his family name. He is actually knocking on doors and asking voters for their support (unlike his geriatric opponent). And I guess if what you mean by "no show job" is owning and operating three businesses, then you need to reevaluate your definition.

Do your homework! There is no bigger self-serving politician than Falconer! The only bills he authored and got passed benefited architects (and in the process hurt engineers)! All you hear the two R gubernatorial candidates talk about is bringing back jobs; last time I checked homebuilders and developers actually create jobs!

Falconer has missed almost 600 votes! He's more interested in helping out architects (his profession) than the Northshore. The only thing he has been consistent on is helping himself.

Falconer missed 600 votes in the State House! McMath is the right guy- he knocked on doors in my neighborhood and sent me a handwritten note!

Beth Mizel for Senate 12. Tranchina for Sheriff. I hate to say it, but Brister's prob going to take it.

Are you sure he missed over 600 votes?

My dogs go crazy when someone knocks on the door. My close neighbors simply text and say they’re headed over, so as not to listen to the dogs.

Missed over 600 votes? How come this isn’t being relayed to the voters?

He’s running on his family (business) name Guy has a no show job and I’m sure would work for the interests of Northshore developers

First of all, I’ve known McMath for 30+ years. Does that make be biased, absolutely; but it also makes me very knowledgeable of his character, family, and work ethic. I would like to respond to your supposition that his has a no show job: I remember summers when we were 14,15, & 16 cleaning up job sites, installing toilets, hauling trash, laying sod, digging holes by hand, hauling whole sheets of 5/8 Sheetrock up 3 flights of stairs... I could go on, but Patrick was helping fill that trash bin, or sweeping the other side of the room, and on the other end of that heavy a$$ piece of Sheetrock. Did he have to be there? NO! But he was and he learned a business from the ground up. Most people reading this can’t say they’ve done half of those crappy jobs ever, much less in one summer.

Lastly, but equally as important, character: Patrick is not looking for money or power, he is looking to legitimately help the people of the Northshore; and for no other reason than no one else is getting it done correctly. We are always asking for the politician that isn’t a politician and will have your’s and my interest in mind every time he votes or takes action in his role. Patrick doesn’t have anything personal at stake here, he isn’t doing this to make money. He is running for office, having his good name tarnished by people who have heard rumor or have heard nothing (just that his parents are successful) and treat him like he is dirt. When you wake up tomorrow morning, look in the mirror and ask yourself if you would want to walk out the door with people trashing you for no other reason than “he is running on his family (business) name”
