House Conservatives Fund :: Woody Jenkins endorsement in The Hill's "State by State"

The East Baton Rouge Parish Republican Party endorsed Woody Jenkins in the March 8 Republican primary for Louisiana's 6th congressional district this week. East Baton Rouge Parish encompasses most of the district.

RedState.com , a conservative blog, and the House Conservatives Fund also endorsed Jenkins this week, and he won the backing of the Club for Growth last month.

Jenkins, a member of the Louisiana state legislature for 28 years and the GOP candidate against Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) in 1996, is running against three other Republicans -- Paul Sawyer, Laurinda Calongne and Michael Cloonan -- and five Democrats.

The seat was vacated in February when then-Rep. Richard Baker (R) retired from Congress. Baker now works as chief executive of the Managed Funds Association, the trade association for the largest U.S-based hedge funds.

Jenkins has raised $80,428, trailing Sawyer ($112,513) and Calongne ($181,132). Democrat Don Cazayoux leads all candidates in money with $257,875 raised.
