BATON ROUGE, La. -- After months of speculation about a party switch, state Treasurer John Kennedy announced Monday that he is running for re-election this fall as a Republican, after serving two terms as a Democrat.
Kennedy's re-election campaign sent out an e-mail announcing the switch. In it, Kennedy said he spent more than a year grappling with the decision.
"I have concluded that the Republican Party is the party that best reflects my values today," Kennedy said.
Kennedy highly "values" Mary Landrieu's Senate seat in 2008. And in.. perhaps the only... state in the country trending heavily Republican, he's likely got a nice shot at it.
