Democrat Caroline Fayard prepares Senate campaign for Vitter's seat
Caroline Fayard, a New Orleans lawyer best known for going the distance in the 2010 lieutenant governor's race, is preparing to make another statewide run, according to a recent email message.
The Democrat is assembling a team to campaign for the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. David Vitter, according to an email from political consultants Lori and Scott Gale. The Friday (Jan. 22) message, obtained by NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune, asks recent college grads to apply to join Fayard's fundraising team.
"This job would be an excellent opportunity for recent college/law school graduates and others who are interested in pursuing a career in Democratic politics or looking for a once in a lifetime experience," the email states.
How this may shape the state Democratic Party's long-shot hope to repeat Gov. John Bel Edward's success remains to be seen. Several aides and operatives have said Democrats want to settle on one candidate to take on what is a growing Republican field. Some party members have been talking to state Sen. Eric Lafleur, D-Ville Platte, about possibly running. Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell's name has also been floated as a possibility.
