re: Who is on the short list of legitimate GOP candidates for La. governor in 2023?

Landry is not just the best choice, he is the ONLY choice.
Nungesser is the very definition of a RINO. Not what La. needs
Schroder, dumb as a post and boring speaker
Hewitt, can’t get reelected to her senate seat so she’ll run for governor? No way. Spotty legislative record and hasn’t been around long enough. She is the only current legislator that has what it takes to be a legitimate candidate, but I don’t see her topping 5% under any circumstances. She simply doesn’t have “it“
Cassidy may run. Voted to convict Trump. Can’t get elected.
Graves, may run. Semi RINO. Not popular with other Republican congressman. Worked for Blanco. I see him running for senate in 26
Mike Johnson, would be an excellent governor but is a Washington guy. I see him running against Graves (Or Cassidy) in 26 for Cassidy‘s Senate seat
Kennedy is too much of a “national“ Washington guy. He would not get to be on Fox News every week if he were governor of Louisiana. I think he enjoys the national spotlight. If he runs, he becomes the favorite immediately. But, with the exception of David Vitter, I don’t know if a single US senator in any state that has run for governor. Senate is a better job. Kennedy will stay put.
Landry has been fighting JBE for eight years and often times has been the only one doing so. This has earned him a lot of friends all throughout the state. He is real! I have spoken with him several times and what you see on TV is what you get. He truly believes what he says and fights hard every day. I think he is the only one that understands La.‘s problems and actually has the intestinal fortitude (balls) to take the hard positions and do what is needed to fix the state. He also has more money in the bank than all other candidates (except Kennedy) combined
Democrats – there is no JBE’s waiting in the wings. The next governor will be a Republican
Jeff Landry is the ONLY choice for Louisiana. The state republican party needs to get together, clear the field, and get behind one candidate so that we can avoid the infighting that gave us JBE twice. “If we don’t learn from our mistakes we are doomed to repeat them.“

Surely, you can’t be serious. The guy was fricking terrible. He left a fiscal disaster for the state. Raided every trust fund we had to kick shortfall cans down the road so he could claim his Grover Nordquist tax purity status. He didn’t give a frick about Lousiana… just his National Establishment GOP Street Cred. Jindal is partly why we have Edwards. And I had high hopes for the guy.
Jindal did all he could. The legislature was the problem. Despite the opportunity to address fiscal policy, they kicked the can down the road and left no other option.

Landry is all we got....

This is Louisiana's last chance to make it into the 20th century.
Yes I said 20th.
We must carefully choose (elect) someone who can diversify economic opportunities here in our state. At this time we are having a difficult time even attracting a gas station with a funny small woodland animal for a mascot locating here. We can't build a bridge across a river. Our college graduates leave the state a week after they graduate. There very few things for young families to do on the weekend that are safe and enjoyable.
This may be our last chance, otherwise Louisiana may be ranked 51 in things that are good.

At this time, the only one under consideration here is Schroder.
How much of a "culture warrior" he is just seems so much less important than him knowing where the financial bodies are buried and his conscientious approach to fiscal matters.

it is so strange looking back at Jindal's Mr Rogers speech, making everyone hate on him. he in hindsight was a good governor.
Ask anyone who worked in any capacity with the budget during the Jindal years, and they’ll have a vastly different opinion about this.
Jindal’s raiding of one time funds to prove his tax purity is precisely why our sales tax is where it is, right now.
When he became governor, he had the benefit of still having a lot of federal money swimming in Louisiana’s coffers due to Katrina. Unfortunately, that went away, and when it did, he’d raided so much that our state fiscal position was weak. Instead of reversing course, he kept doing the same dumb shite, and we ended up over a billion in the hole upon his departure.
He’s largely responsible for 8 years of John Bel Edwards.

Dumbasses like you got Edwards elected twice.

Just vote for the Dem.

One big problem with economic opportunity and growth is that the rest of the state will always suck the life out of any municipality that gets any relative momentum. One of the candidates' tax plans would free up the state's stranglehold on the municipalities. The others offer platitudes that are camouflage for the status quo. And one offers steak dinners.

Louisiana is infested with the Jindal left overs that still run around pumping their chests like they know everything and saved the state.
