Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne Is Interested In Governor’s Office

Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne was in Bossier City to talk about tourism across the state and especially here in Shreveport-Bossier.  With the next major election in Louisiana in 2015, we asked the state's second-in-command if he was looking for higher office.

His answer?

"There is a lot of talk about what will happen in 2015," Dardenne told 710 KEEL.  "I expect to be on the ballot in 2015.  I haven't made a formal announcement yet, but I love the job that I'm doing."

But what position would he want?

"The only other job I'd be interested in is the one without the lieutenant in front of it."
