2022 LA Senate race: on Principles & Values


John Neely Kennedy: I will not let you down--I'd rather drink weed killer

With this announcement, I want to make you a new promise: I promise that I will always be your voice during the good times and the bad. I promise I will be a voice against the socialism that's now overtaken Washington, D.C. I promise that--come hell or high water--your values will be my values, and I will never be silent--never--when the nut jobs tell me to sit down and shut up.

I will not let you down--I'd rather drink weed killer.

Luke Mixon: In military had a little mantra: God, Family, Country

Mixon said it's his career in the military that has prepared him to be a member of the Senate. "We had this little mantra," said Mixon. "It said God, Family, Country. There is nothing in there about Republicans and Democrats. If we just look out for our constituent's best interests, that is always the answer to the problem."

Luke Mixon: I am country first, I am a very moderate person

Mixon said he expects Senator Kennedy to attack him as a radical liberal. When asked if he was a "Pelosi-Schumer radical liberal," Mixon responded by laughing. "Again, I am country first," said Mixon. "I am a very moderate person who is open to what is the best answer and what is the right thing for Louisiana."

Luke Mixon: Instilled with ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty

At the Naval Academy, our Mission was to develop midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty. My experiences from growing up in central Louisiana, to the Naval Academy, to flying missions in the Middle East have instilled in me those ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty. And now, more than ever, that's exactly what we need. Louisiana needs a responsible leader. As Senator, that is exactly what I plan to be.
