Not just A trial lawyer: he represented rioters in St. Louis. He is where he is now courtesy of JBE.
lol every BOS member is there because of being appointed by JBE or Jindal.
Also, "trial lawyer" doesn't equate to scum of the earth like many of you have been led to believe. Just sayin.

normally this is something that would go in the negative column for me
If Woodward had spent all of his career in the state for sure.
But he's been removed enough to where I don't see him as part of that swamp but still has the important relationships in place to make things happen when needed.
In cases where there is political pressure to make decisions (IE; Jimbo '15, Wade) Woodward will have much more diplomatic sway than 'ole Joe. The guy was a lobbyist he knows how to get things done.

Introducing the NEXT Governor of the GREAT State of Louisiana...
Dardenne works for a liberal democrat in JBE doing his bidding to push jobs and businesses out of Louisiana while taxing us out of the arse with nothing to show for it. All for a fat paycheck and to fatten up his pension for retirement.
And that was after he stabbed conservatives in the back by endorsing JBE when Vitter refused to pay for his endorsement.
Dardenne is a RINO through and through, one of the least trustworthy people in the Statehouse.

Dardenne is just as swampy as JBE.

I’ve never cared for Dardenne. I don’t know him personally but have met him enough times to develop a dislike for him.

This was my mindset back in 2015 when I knew that he's the daddy of the film tax credits program that does nothing but suck money from Louisiana taxpayers with no clear economic ROI and JBE still continues to this day.
The biggest reason why I could never support him for Governor.
And I started hating him outright when he endorsed the liberal for Governor and stabbed conservatives in the back after he went scorched fricking earth on a frontrunner he had no hope of defeating but wounded him enough to make sure he could not win in the runoff.
Jay Dardenne is the classic political swamp rat that has no loyalty to any ideology or any set of principles. He sold his endorsement to JBE for a fat paycheck and pension.

It's a stretch to consider JBE a liberal. He's a very moderate democrat and shares many republican ideals.
I don't understand this attack on "loyalty" to a party. There's a chance Dardenne simply felt JBE would be a better governor than Vitter, even if he didn't agree with him on 100% of his views.
It's not a bad thing to be a moderate or even an independent. Look at the candidate themselves, not just the letter by their name.

Your articles are a year old meanwhile I can post links too.
This one is from 3 days ago.
The Advocate: Louisiana sheds 1,700 jobs over 12 months through March, with biggest hit in construction
JBE brags about having a surplus of tax dollars while 1700 families lost a job last year.
The sector that grew? Government!
"Government...gained 200 jobs to 329,600."

My dislike for him goes back to 2003 and has steadily grown in the time since.
I’ve campaigned for opponents of Dardenne a few times over the years.

You’re giving Jay WAY too much credit for ethics he doesn’t have. He’s a political whore in every sense of the term.
As someone else referenced, it’s not exactly a secret that an endorsement from Dardenne for all intents and purposes is a bribe.
David objected to bribing Dardenne. No more, no less.

He had one of the most liberal voting records in the statehouse and that's why I could never support him.
And that's on top of him idolizing two crooks in Edwin Edwards and Huey Long that has institutionalized a lot of corruption that goes on in Louisiana.
He even spoke at Edwin's 90th birthday party giving a speech for him for christ sakes.
JBE is associated with all the usual suspects that has held Louisiana back like corrupt sheriffs, teachers unions, government workers, private sector folks that has a lot of money tied up in state contracts, and the RINOs in the statehouse.

Really?
God? Guns? No killing babies?
Please. It's political suicide to oppose those in Louisiana. Where he is really a liberal on is the red tape regulations and burdensome taxes he puts on the private sector in Louisiana and his farming out the legacy lawsuits to his trial lawyer buddies that bankrolled his campaign.
He makes Texas Job easier in attracting our best and brightest.

Lol.
For a political animal like Dardenne, deciding and picking something or someone on the merits is almost always the last consideration for him.
JBE had virtually no platform, just the usual mumbo jumbo word salad that you would expect from a democrat in a red state trying to hide what he really believes in to get elected.
Meanwhile Vitter had one of the most detailed policy platforms I've ever seen in Louisiana history and it was pretty impressive. That was a platform worth voting for.
Dardenne went with the guy who bought his endorsement.

Championing Vitter and lambasting Dardenne...
Bro... Really?
Did Dardenne bone your girl?
Lord knows Vitter would've tried. Super ethical choice by the way

Dude really? That's not even true based on the article you posted. You took this info:
Sectors that saw gains in March were education and health services, up 2.7%, or 8,400 jobs, to 321,600; manufacturing, up 2,200, or 1.6%, to 136,800; leisure and hospitality, up 2,400, or 1%, to 238,600; other services, up 300 jobs, or 0.4%, to 73,800; and government, which gained 200 jobs to 329,600.
And decided that the 200 jobs the government grew by meant the private sector is getting shafted, ignoring the rest of the information?
