Landrieu Gets a Challenger

Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) will challenge Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), “in what’s likely to be one of the most competitive races of 2014,” Roll Call reports.

“Cassidy has long been mentioned as a top potential contender to Landrieu, who is seeking a fourth term in a state President Obama lost by 18 points in November. Cassidy had more than $2 million in the bank by the end of 2012, and his campaign announced Monday that he raised $500,000 in the first quarter.”
