Morenomentum is back... for now

Jimmy Fahrenholtz has been disqualified from the District 2 Congressional race for being a big stupid liar... or something like that. Actually Fahrenholtz's candidacy was disqualified on a technicality exploited by a lawsuit filed by...... I think you see where this is going

The challenge was filed by Houma attorney Conrad S.P Williams III, who alleged in a lawsuit that Fahrenholtz, who has served on the School Board since 2000, owes more than $31,000 in fines and fees to the state for repeatedly failing to file timely campaign finance reports.

Williams is a financial supporter of another Democratic contender for the congressional seat, former television news anchor Helena Moreno. Williams made the maximum contribution of $2,300 to Moreno on June 24, according to her latest finance report filed with the Federal Elections Commission.

As the only other non-black Democrat in the race, Moreno's chances of making the runoff were severely damaged by Fahrenholtz's presence. We'll see if this ruling sticks.

Update: Additional Morenomentum may be emanating from the Bensons. The lady seems to have made some powerful friends.
