Editor’s note: This story is the first in a series of profiles of major candidates in the U.S. Senate race, to be published over the coming days.
U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy stood before 75 people at St. Anthony’s Gardens, a retirement community for seniors in Covington earlier this month and spoke earnestly for 10 minutes about why he deserves another six years in Washington.
He then opened it up for questions that the residents had submitted.
Cassidy peered at a note card and laughed.
“Let’s start off with an easy one,” he said with a tone that indicated it wasn’t actually an easy one.
