Sen. David Vitter To Run For Louisiana Governor

Posted by | January 21, 2014 14:49 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


David Vitter hopes to be elected governor of Louisiana in 2015.

“I believe that as our next Governor, I can have a bigger impact addressing the unique challenges and opportunities we face in Louisiana,” the senator said in an email obtained by The Associated Press from a member of Vitter’s staff.

Vitter’s announcement ends months of speculation about his intentions, and his decision is expected to influence which other potential candidates enter the race.

Gov. Bobby Jindal is term-limited, so the race is wide open. Vitter can run without forfeiting his current position in the U.S. Senate, which isn’t up for re-election until 2016.
