Angelle weighing state-wide options
What is Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle of Breaux Bridge going to do?
The Republican has been rumored to be considering either the governor’s race next year or the contest for lieutenant governor, a post he once filled on an interim basis.
If he can unify the Acadiana vote, a region where other major candidates have yet to surface, he could be a formidable contender.
When asked by LaPolitics about his plans, Angelle hinted at a decision being made sooner than later.
“September is a great time in Louisiana with hunting, football, food and festivals,” he said. “It’s also a great time for political announcements.”
Supporters are said to be encouraging him toward the governor’s race, where they see an opening for a conservative who would not only carry a large regional base, but also successfully court white Democrats and moderate Republicans.
