Potential 2023 Gubernatorial Race contenders Attorney General Jeff Landry and Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser are off to a strong fundraising start with the election more than two years away.
Landry is sitting on more than two million dollars and Nungesser has about a million in a half in the bank according to a fundraising report filed with the state ethics administration that covers the fundraising period that ended last year. Political Analyst Bernie Pinsonat said the two statewide elected Republicans are strong early favorites.
“Those are the two candidates that everyone expects to run for Governor, they’ve been running for Governor for the last three years even though they didn’t run two years ago they certainly were potential candidates,” said Pinsonat.
