Keva Landrum-Johnson, the veteran Orleans Parish prosecutor appointed to step in last fall when embattled DA Eddie Jordan resigned, said Wednesday that she hasn't ruled out seeking the office via election this fall.
"I'm keeping my options open," said Landrum-Johnson, at Orleans Parish Criminal District Court on Wednesday, moments after checking in on a death penalty case set for a hearing. "Being DA has shed some new light on my future aspirations."
Yeah, it'll do that.
Adding: In my honest opinion, there really isn't any reason she should be arbitrarily barred from running just because her appointment was approved by the local political overlords. But when she was granted that appointment, much was made of her agreeing not to run. That seems a bit goofy in hindsight.
