📢 TOP STORY: John Kennedy’s decision to seek re-election in Louisiana raises big questions about what’s next for the state’s political future ⚡.NH

Republican John Neely Kennedy has launched his reelection campaign as U.S. Senator for Louisiana. Louisianians elected the Zachary native in 2016 with 61% of the vote.

Kennedy’s office issued a news release announcing his reelection bid in which Kennedy said the following:

Five years ago, I made a promise, a promise that I took seriously. I told you that I would work to put our country back on track and make America great again,” said Kennedy. “In the last five years, we’ve accomplished a lot, but now the socialists are racing to undo it all. So, my job—our job—isn’t finished. Today, I’m announcing that I’m running for re-election for the United States Senate.

With this announcement, I want to make you a new promise: I promise that I will always be your voice during the good times and the bad. I promise I will be a voice against the socialism that’s now overtaken Washington, D.C. I promise that—come hell or high water—your values will be my values, and I will never be silent—never—when the nut jobs tell me to sit down and shut up.

I will not let you down—I’d rather drink weed killer.
