Now that Eddie Rispone has given up, Lance Harris is running for State GOP Chair. He says he wants to change the culture.
Harris said the party needs a “culture change” and that he wants to bring “consistency and stability” to the leadership.
His announcement comes less than a week before the Republican State Central Committee meeting in Baton Rouge on Saturday where officers are set to be elected.
He is challenging LAGOP Chairman Louis Gurvich, a New Orleans businessman who took over the party in 2018 after long-time party chair Roger Villere stepped down.
Previously, we heard about this "culture change" business from party secretary Mike Bayham who appeared to be favoring Rispone. But as far as we can tell the actual dispute here is over how much Republican candidates will have to pay Villere's consulting firm if they want party support. Gurvich appears to be the pro-Villere candidate. Looks like Harris is signaling he is the "culture change" guy now that Rispone is out.
