Louisiana House Passes Closed Primary Bill for Congressional Elections

On May 15, the Louisiana House passed SB 18. It re-establishes closed primaries for congressional elections, instead of the “top-two” system that has been in place since 1978. The bill had already passed the Senate. Since the House amended it, it goes back to the Senate. The House Amendment requires parties to let independent voters vote in their primaries, unless they pass a bylaw excluding them.

    Keeping on, Keeping on:

    Our (Independent) campaign for governor is off and running and headed into a busy summer of traveling all over Alaska and visiting one on one.

    I’ve always realized that running as an Independent would pose challenges but every day I’m encouraged more and more by the overwhelming response from Alaskans around this great state of ours.

    It’s clear that Alaskans want honesty, competence and leadership this election.

    Over the next few months if you’d like to schedule a time to have me visit with you or any group you belong to, please feel free to call my campaign office and we’ll make it happen.

    Cheers!
