Lafayette s Gerald Boudreaux has been selected to lead the Louisiana Senate s Democratic Caucus.
Boudreaux, D-Lafayette, replaces Troy Carter, who recently was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Carter said Boudreaux was selected as his replacement because of his lifelong career in public service and steadfast dedication to the betterment of the Louisiana Democratic Party.
We caught up with Boudreaux today, and he said he was honored by the selection. I think my mission is to bring some unity, and continue to work collaboratively with all members of the Senate, be they Democrats or Republicans, because at the end of the day, we cannot get anything done without the work across party lines, Boudreaux said. He said the key is to continue dialogue. We respect the views of others, and give others the opportunity to understand our position.
