“I strongly support Cedric’s candidacy for Congress, he understands the needs of Louisiana, and he is committed to serving the people of the Second Congressional District,” said Landrieu. “During his eleven years of service in the Louisiana Legislature he has established a strong record of fighting for the hard working families of Louisiana.”
Senator Landrieu joins a long list of endorsements including former U.S. Senator John Breaux, the Congressional Black Caucus, PAC., the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and the Democratic Caucus Chair John Larson.
 “I am honored to have Sen. Landrieu’s support for my candidacy,” says Richmond.  “I look forward to continuing to work with the Senator and other officials as we fight to complete the recovery, clean the Gulf, and rebuild the way of life for so many Louisianans.”
