NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) -

Candidates in next year's governor's race have already begun making their pitch with 10 months to go. Most have already set up websites, and the lone Democrat is trying to gain name recognition in New Orleans.

"I do think we have a series of candidates who can raise millions of dollars each and have a base of voters already," said Tulane political analyst Mike Sherman.

Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, Sen. David Vitter, and State Rep. John Bel Edwards of Amite are all trying to build voter support.

"The only two I'm familiar with are Dardenne and Vitter," said New Orleans voter Andy Mayeaux.

"You can pick the guy to beat based on two things - who has most funds, and name recognition. David Vitter has been elected statewide, has significant funds and statewide name recognition," said Sherman.

To become better known, Bel Edwards bought expensive billboards in New Orleans.

"Before you can share a message, you have to let them know who you are, and that starts with name recognition," said Sherman.

Also being mentioned as a possible fifth candidate is Angola prison warden Burl Cain, who has a Facebook page to get his message out.

"I think one of the biggest issues is Common Core, which i'm not real crazy about," said Mayeaux.

Louisiana Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond defended colleague Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) amid reports that Scalise spoke at a white supremacist convention in 2002.

I don't think Steve Scalise has a racist bone in his body," Richmond, who is black, told the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

"Steve and I have worked on issues that benefit poor people, black people, white people, Jewish people. I know his character."

While Richmond supports Scalise, the Louisiana Democratic Party bashed the GOP lawmaker and House majority whip in a statement. The party said the story is disturbing and accused allies of trying to sweep this incident under the rug by blaming Scalises staff and claiming the then-state representative didnt know the groups ideology.

If someone in Louisiana didn't know about David Duke's beliefs in 2002, they must have been hiding under a very large rock somewhere, Executive Director Stephen Handwerk said in an emailed statement.

This is a serious stain on Scalise's record as a public servant, that he spoke to a hate group and now lacks the courage to face the voters and make amends for such an egregious lapse in judgment."

In a statement to The Hill, Scalise spokeswoman Moria Bagley did not deny that that Scalise spoke with the group but said that hes never supported its white supremacist message.

Throughout his career in public service, Mr. Scalise has spoken to hundreds of different groups with a broad range of viewpoints. In every case, he was building support for his policies, not the other way around, she said in an email.
