Sammy Kershaw Endorses Billy Nungesser For Louisiana Lt. Governor

Billy Nungesser has gotten a pretty high profile endorsement in his bid for Lt. Governor as Sammy Kershaw lends his official approval for Nungesser in the race.

Kershaw tossed his own hat into the race for Lt. Governor a few years back, winning a majority of Parishes in the primary.

Nungesser and Kershaw started working together after the BP Oil Spill, and Sammy says he's admired the way Nungesser fought for the seafood industry for Louisiana.

From the official press release -

Louisiana has seen its share of hard times over the past decade and during that time, no one proved to be a bigger voice or a better fighter for our state than Billy Nungesser," said Kershaw.  "He is hard working, honest and understands what its like to get up every day and do the right thing for the people he represents.  He and I first met during the Oil Spill.  He didn’t hesitate to stand up to President Obama and demand that our people go back to work.  Billy will create jobs, grow our economy and promote Louisiana to the rest of the country and the world.  We need someone that will represent the whole state and make everyone finally understand why we are the sportsman’s paradise.  Billy is like me in that we both have a passion for this state.  I am proud to endorse Billy Nungesser for Lt. Governor.   He is a good man and will be a great Lt. Governor.
