Campaign Finance
The Comet published an article yesterday analyzing the money raised by the two candidates for Lafourche Parish President. According to the article, the challenger Tommy Lasseigne raised $59,700 and Charlotte Randolph, the incumbent, raised $52,275.
For an incumbent to be behind a challenger in fund raising in any political race, the incumbent is in serious, serious trouble. The common political belief is that an incumbent should be able to raise lots of money due to the power of the incumbency. In this race, Charlotte doesn't seem to have the power.
