Nick Lorusso - 2592
Jeb Bruneau - 1751

via Louisiana Secretary of State

Congratulations to Nick Lorusso. He won the Louisiana State House District 94 special election over Jeb Bruneau (son of the incumbent) during today's runoff. Bruneau fans don't need to worry though. Due to now retired former District 94 rep's timing, we will be able to re-vote in the fall in the normal election and it is likely that many of the recent crop of candidates will run again. Of course this loss is a huge blow to Jeb Bruneau's chances come fall. He now officially has the taint of his father's retirement on him. In the mean time congrats again to new Legislator Lorusso. Sorry you won't be able to get any legislation submitted to the state legislature before the session starts (this week) hopefully you can parley this into something that helps out one of the most devastated districts in the state.
