Transcribe →Campaign Season Accelerates as Washington Mardi Gras Quietly Sets the Tone
Feb 200:12:26Tap to summarizeCampaign season is heating up in Louisiana, even if you couldn’t tell from Washington Mardi Gras. Despite the usual buzz in D.C., political chatter stayed surprisingly quiet as candidates focused on early primaries instead of big announcements. Attendees described the weekend as strategic rather than headline-driven, with many contenders already deep in campaign mode. The lack of “bulletin board material” signals a shift toward disciplined messaging as 2026 races pick up speed. With the calendar moving fast, Louisiana’s political landscape is entering a new phase — one shaped more by groundwork and less by spectacle.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →Campaign Season Takes Center Stage at Washington Mardi Gras as Attendance Rebounds
Feb 200:10:12Tap to summarizeWashington Mardi Gras delivered fewer political surprises this year as Louisiana’s early primaries pushed candidates into full campaign mode. Conversations focused on strategy instead of announcements, with notable absences—including Blake Miguez—sparking speculation about the final field before qualifying opens next week. Despite heavy snow and difficult travel, the event drew a stronger crowd than last year, though not as large as the surge two years ago. Brian Haldane noted the lack of “who’s running for what” chatter but said he gained insight into what lawmakers may prioritize during the upcoming legislative session. Workforce issues appear poised to dominate the agenda.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Transcribe →Baton Rouge Corruption Case Expands as Charges Against Cleve Dunn Grow
Feb 200:15:34Tap to summarizeDistrict 6 Councilman Cleve Dunn now faces a long list of charges tied to an alleged $50,000 CATS contract scheme, including bribery, money laundering, public contract fraud, illegal split commission of commodities, malfeasance in office, and multiple conspiracy counts. Investigators say he used his position to connect key players, push the contract through, and route more than $33,000 back to Core Group LLC, a business linked to him.Legal analyst Franz Borghardt calls the case a “kitchen sink indictment,” noting prosecutors stacked every possible charge. He says Dunn is presumed innocent and may argue this is an ethics issue rather than a criminal one. But the broader investigation is not over. Officials expect more Baton Rouge names to surface as lower-level individuals begin cooperating.Dunn remains on both the Metro Council and the CATS board unless those bodies take action. This case marks the start of what could become a larger public-corruption shakeup in Baton Rouge.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
