re: #127 Colonel Panik
When it comes to ethnic Louisiana Republicans, I prefer Ahn Joseph Cao.
A son of Vietnamese refugees who defeated Willam “Cash In The Fridge” Jefferson in a district that is largely black and democratic.
“Cao has a diverse educational background and, in fact, almost became a Catholic priest. He graduated from Jersey Village High School in Houston. He then earned a bachelor’s degree in physics at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and became a Jesuit seminarian, which he remained for a period of six years. Cao received his master’s degree in philosophy from Fordham University in New York City. In 2000, he completed his J.D. at Loyola University School of Law in New Orleans. While in law school he also taught undergraduate courses in philosophy at Loyola.
Cao sounds like quite a step up.
