Come January, the GOP will control every elected statewide office in Louisiana after Republicans swept three runoff races for attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer Saturday night.

The GOP success, in a state that has had a Democrat in the governor’s office for the past eight years, means that Republicans secured all of Louisiana’s statewide offices for the first time since 2015. In addition, the GOP holds a two-third supermajority in the House and Senate.

Liz Murrill was elected as attorney general, Nancy Landry as secretary of state and John Fleming as treasurer. The results also mean Louisiana will have its first female attorney general and first woman elected as secretary of state.

Saturday’s election completes the shaping of Louisiana’s executive branch, where most incumbents didn’t seek reelection and opened the door for new leadership in some of the most powerful positions.

    Sure thing bro. Living my best life with multiple disabilities and a disabled wife. Loving all the support and welfare programs from Democrats. Go Dark Brandon! Go unregulated capitalism! Her turn! Cause Democracy is now a hereditary system!

    Go fuck yourself neoliberal. I’d say you’re as much of a waste as a tankie or conservative, but at least you just do literally nothing instead of fucking shit up. Would be better if you actually did shit than talk about marginal gross improvements with net losses as if they’re a huge victory.

      You should consider educating yourself with all the downtime you have from being disabled.

      It’s got to be better for you than just stewing in impotent, limp rage.
