"The LSU College Republicans are pleased to announce that our board voted unanimously to endorse Jeff Landry in his bid to become Louisiana's next Republican Attorney General.

Jeff Landry, conservative candidate for Louisiana Attorney General and former Congressman from LA-3, has received the endorsement of Rick Santorum, former U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate. Landry’s campaign sent out the below email regarding the announcement today:
The campaign is heating up, and our momentum continues to build.
Rick Santorum – the winner of the 2012 Louisiana Republican Presidential Primary, former U.S. Senator, and Chairman of Patriot Voices – today announced his endorsement of our campaign for Attorney General.
I am thrilled to have Senator Santorum’s endorsement as we work to bring honesty, integrity and conservative principles to the Attorney General’s Office.
Senator Santorum said in his endorsement that he has always been impressed by my principled, conservative leadership.
"Jeff is not just a lifelong Republican, but a lifelong conservative who is committed to bettering his community and the State of Louisiana. Jeff has shown his commitment to public service as a decorated veteran, as a sheriff, and a Member of Congress; and I am proud to support his candidacy to be Louisiana’s next Attorney General."
Senator Santorum recognizes the critical need for a proven conservative as Louisiana’s next Attorney General to fight the regulatory overreach of President Obama and his Administration.With your help, I can provide our state that leadership. Please visit my website and join our team. And if you are able to contribute financially to our efforts of protecting our families, freedoms and the rule of law – please do so right now online here.
Thanks in advance for your support,
Jeff Landry
Your Candidate for Attorney General
This endorsement comes on the heel of another recent endorsement by Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana.
Buddy Caldwell can call himself a Republican as much as he would like, but nothing can hide his liberal history and the Elvis-singing love affair he’s had with the recently deposed, Mary Landrieu.
Today, as a former Democrat trying to make his way in a fire engine red state, Caldwell is learning what many other GOP officials may have to come to terms with if voters maintain their single party focus in Louisiana: it doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican; it matters only how Republican you can be.

John Fleming, Louisiana Congressman from the 4th Congressional District, has endorsed Jeff Landry, former Congressman from Louisiana’s 3rd Congressional District, in his bid to unseat Buddy Caldwell, Louisiana Attorney General. Fleming testifies to the conservative credentials of Landry and to the work that he will do as Attorney General for the State of Louisiana.
In a move that is sure to shore up support in Fleming’s North Louisiana area, Jeff Landry has picked up the endorsement of Congressman John Fleming.
“Today I’m excited to announce my support of Jeff Landry for Louisiana Attorney General. Jeff is a highly respected Conservative who will protect the freedoms and values so important to the people of Louisiana.
“As a former member of Congress, Jeff was a staunch battler against Washington’s long arm of intrusion into our lives and businesses. He worked hard for smaller government, protection of our constitutional freedoms and liberty, and demanded an accountable Congress that answers to the people. As Attorney General, Jeff has the integrity to defend the Louisiana constitution and advocate important issues like consumer safety and fighting crime and corruption. We can trust in him to apply common-sense conservative principles as our Attorney General.
“I am proud to support him today and look forward to seeing him in office.”
