Alexander Mulls Return to Congress

Former Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-LA), who resigned abruptly last summer to take a job in Gov. Bobby Jindal’s cabinet, said he won’t rule out a run for his old job next fall, the Monroe News-Star reports.

“Alexander, who won six terms in the U.S. House beginning with the 2002 election, said he has been saddened by the scandal that has rocked his successor, Rep. Vance McAllister (R-LA) and the 5th District.”

Said Alexander: “I would never say anything is off of the table. If I felt like the people of Louisiana and the 5th District wanted me for a particular purpose or office, I am willing to serve them.”
