< LA S-5 > New Orleans

Louisiana State Senator Cheryl Gray Evans will resign effective February 5. A special election for Senate District 5 (New Orleans) is scheduled for February 6.

The February 6 election will coincide with the New Orleans mayoral election. If no candidate wins a majority, a runoff election will take place on March 6.

House Speaker Karen Carter Peterson has already announced her candidacy for this senate seat. She is ineligble for reelection to the Louisiana House of Representatives due to term limits.

More information will be posted to the ELECTIONS page at RIDE2REPEAL.COM as updates become available.

Why is campaign work so important? Because ELECTIONS are the key to political power. Show me a king, and I'll show you a kingmaker.

It's how the "Gray Panthers" keep Social Security benefits intact, no matter how bankrupt the system becomes. It's how the entertainment industry keeps royalties flowing from generation to generation, long after Elvis has left the building.

But bikers aren't a majority like the elderly, and we aren't flush with cash like the mega-corporations. Our strength lies in our ability to work ... as campaign volunteers.

That's something our political opponents won't do. And the only way they can beat us is if we don't, either.
