Louisiana 2015 Governor Race

Arr’s Last Meeting

John Bel Edwards State Rep. John Bel Edwards, the lone Democrat, says he’ll be looking for a pen during his first few hours on the job to rewrite part of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s political legacy. “On my first day I will sign the necessary paperwork to enact the Medicaid expansion,” he says. That would put Edwards not only at odds with Jindal’s long-held, concrete stance, but it would also flip the position of the current Legislature. Lawmakers have voted down previous expansion attempts. If Edwards is elected and follows through, the reaction from conservative factions would not be kind. Moreover, it would kick off a very rocky relationship with Republican lawmakers. Then again, by the time the next governor takes office, public opinion may be on Edwards’ side.

David Vitter Finally, there’s U.S. Sen. David Vitter, who said unequivocally that his first act as governor would be to call a special legislative session on “fundamental spending and tax reform.” If that’s truly Vitter’s sole early focus, with no plans for executive orders, then he’ll surely be heavily involved in the spring session. After all, the senator has never been shy about butting into previous sessions. As governor, Vitter would also be afforded the opportunity to name his successor to the U.S. Senate. That by itself would be a political sideshow.
