From St. Tammy News:

He said, he has been thinking about running for the post for the past three to four months and has already got a consultant, and people across the state working for him. He may get the job sooner than the special election for the post in October. Current Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu won the mayor’s race in New Orleans a week ago, and he has said that he will continue to be lieutenant governor until he takes office in May. Then Gov. Bobby Jindal will appoint someone to take over the office until a special election is held in October.

There has been talk that Davis, along with Speaker of the House Jim Tucker, state Treasurer John Kennedy, and others are on Jindal’s short list of nominees for lieutenant governor.

But Davis said he is not waiting for Jindal to make up his mind.

“I don’t know what the governor will do, but I still plan to run in the special election,” Davis said.

If Jindal selects him, Davis said that by state law he can run for the office in October, so either way, Davis would be in the election.
