Stephanie Grace: The absurdity of politics, 6th District style (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is hardly an original observation, but Iâll go ahead and make it anyway: Politics these days can be stupid. Truly, depressingly stupid. The latest reminder of this truism comes via a new ad campaign running in Louisianaâs 6th Congressional District, for the open seat soon to be vacated by Democrat Cleo Fields, now that the U.S. Supreme Court has had its way with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. With permission from on high to redraw districts for political advantage, the state Legislature
Stephanie Grace: John Kennedy speaks boldly, but carries small stick (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Bill Cassidyâs dramatically fraught tenure in the U.S. Senate comes to an end, it occurs to me that maybe Iâve been a little tough on him â if only in comparison to how Iâve written about fellow Louisiana Republican John Kennedy. I chalk it up to two things. The first is that, to Cassidyâs credit, he offered a modicum of hope to those who still want Congress to behave like an independent branch of government thatâs just as responsible for what happens in our country as the executi
Stephanie Grace: One voice Louisiana Republicans often ignore? The state Republican party. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More than 30 years ago, when I covered my first big campaign as a reporter for this newspaper, I made a rookie mistake.

Yet he had trouble raising money and never made it to the starting line. The
Stephanie Grace: If schools must post Ten Commandments, let’s at least talk about them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If thereâs a silver lining to the appearance of posters outlining the Ten Commandments on schoolhouse walls across Louisiana this fall, itâs that they may be quickly fading into the figurative wallpaper. Gauging the initial reaction to the postersâ presence, this paperâs reporters found little enthusiasm for or even interest in the new incursion of religion into public classrooms, from kindergarten all the way up to college. Notably, they also found some notes of skepticism from students
Stephanie Grace: Landry’s trashing New Orleans? Must be election time. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the beginning of Jeff Landryâs quest to become governor of Louisiana in 2023, there was New Orleans. The city featured prominently in his tough-on-crime ads and in mocking rhetoric that played well among his base, but terribly in the city that was the butt of his attacks. After Landry won, the city and state saw several years of productive detente and even some actual joining of hands and minds on hosting last yearâs Super Bowl and fighting crime, which started dropping before he sent the
