John Kennedy - not as a repub? not for AG

[Anita Garcia]

John Kennedy says he is running for re-election to State Treas.
Will not run for AG.
His email does not address switching to Republican party:

"Dear Friends,

After much consideration, Becky and I have decided that I can serve the State of Louisiana best by offering myself for another term as State Treasurer this fall.

I appreciate all the input I received from people about my decision. Many folks encouraged me to run for Attorney General, but just as many wanted me to remain as State Treasurer. In the end, it was a personal and family decision.

I plan to run an aggressive re-election campaign this fall based on my eight year record as State Treasurer, of which I am proud.

I will continue to advocate as Treasurer the wise management of public money, and to speak out loudly on the need for tougher ethics reform and fiscal accountability.

Thank you again for your continued support, and feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] with your ideas, suggestions and comments about how we can make Louisiana as great as it can be.

Sincerely,

John Kennedy
State Treasurer
