State Rep. Tim Burns, R- Mandeville, recently confirmed intentions to run for Gov.-elect Bobby Jindal’s 1st Congressional District seat, pledging to help complete a long proposed north/south highway from Washington Parish to Interstate 12 in St. Tammany.
“It was not an easy decision as the race will be quite challenging and I will certainly miss serving in the House should I win,” Burns said. “However, after careful reflection, I feel that I can best serve the area in the long run in Congress, since frankly there are considerably more resources on a federal level.”
