Edwards to Announce Bid in Louisiana

Former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards (D) — “known for his brazen, often shocking quotes” — is running for Congress, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

“He will run in Louisiana’s strongly Republican 6th District, which snakes its way from north Baton Rouge through Ascension and all the way down to the Houma-Thibodaux area. The field is already bloated, but doesn’t yet feature a strong Democratic candidate.”
