Endorsements Grow Joe Biden’s Diverse Coalition in the South
Today, Biden for President announced the endorsement of 12 Louisiana state legislators, including five state senators and seven state representatives. These endorsements build on the support that Joe Biden has already earned in the state and across the South, including endorsements from Congressman and campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond, State Senators Regina Barrow and Troy Carter, and State Representatives Randall Gaines and Barbara Norton.
