Republicans Sweep 3 Major State Offices in Louisiana Elections
|
[THEEPOCHTIMES] Republicans on Nov. 18 swept three statewide runoff elections in Louisiana, securing wins in the races for attorney general, secretary of state, and treasurer.
The three victories mean that Republicans secured every statewide elected office for the first time since 2015, the year Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards won the first of his two terms in office. Mr. Edwards’s successor is Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, a Republican who won the governorship outright in October and avoided a runoff.
On Nov. 18, Liz Murrill was elected as attorney general, and Nancy Landry was elected as secretary of state, becoming the state’s first women to hold the key roles. John Fleming was elected as treasurer. All three secured more than 65 percent of the vote, according to the Louisiana secretary of state’s office.
Ms. Murrill, Ms. Landry, and Mr. Fleming were all endorsed by former President Donald Trump

, as was Mr. Landry. Ms. Landry isn't related to the governor-elect.
The three Republicans "are outstanding in every way and have my Complete and Total Endorsement," President Trump wrote on his Truth Social account on Nov. 16. "We need Republican Leadership in the Great State of Louisiana."
"I’m so humble and I’m honored that the people of our state have chosen me to represent you and us and to fight for you," Ms. Murrill said in her victory speech on Nov. 18.
