The Times-Picayune, hardly a liberal publication, said on Inauguration Day:
"Tim Burns, Steve Scalise and John Young have taken seat-hopping to a new level."
"Before they even set sail in the jobs they won last year, they began sizing up the 1st Congressional District seat. If any one of the three wins, he will be jumping ship while it’s still pulling away from the dock."
The Times-Picayune
"Gilda describes herself as fiscally conservative and wants to rein in spending in Washington. She also would focus on ensuring that the region has sufficient hurricane protection and on rebuilding the coast. An emergency insurance program for future disasters also is a priority. Ms. Reed, who with her husband adopted two special needs children, promises to be an dedicated advocate for people in the district."
