From BestofNewOrleans.com:
State Rep. Neil Abramson, D-New Orleans, has prefiled a bill to bar the person who will serve as the appointed interim lieutenant governor after May 3 from running for the job in the fall. The lieutenant governor’s office will become vacant when its current occupant, Mitch Landrieu, takes the oath of office as New Orleans’ next mayor. Under current law, Gov. Bobby Jindal will nominate an interim replacement, who must be approved by a two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate. Because more than a year will remain in Landrieu’s term when he resigns, a special election will be held in the fall to choose a successor.
