From nola.com:
Secretary of State Jay Dardenne has raised more than $430,000 for his campaign for lieutenant governor in recent weeks and has almost $803,000 on hand to spend on the Oct. 2 primary, finance records filed Tuesday showed.
The totals put Dardenne in the early money-raising lead in the announced Republican field that includes St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis of Slidell, musician Sammy Kershaw of Lafayette and state GOP Chairman Roger Villere, a Metairie florist
Democratic Party officials said they intend to have a strong candidate in the race, which officially begins with qualifying today through Friday. The seat became vacant when Mitch Landrieu stepped down to become mayor of New Orleans in May.
