(Woody) Jenkins, who reported spending $18,747 on signs, stickers and advertisements, has funded five commercials dealing with a range of issues, including Livingston Parish’s transportation needs. “People there feel neglected and I wanted to let them know where I stand on infrastructure issues,” Jenkins said.

Democratic Party candidate Jason DeCuir, who reported spending $583 on signs, said he has since spent around $75,000 on the media, including commercials on health care and the federal deficit.

“People are tired of hearing about what ties politicians have to what machines,” said DeCuir. “What people are worried about right now are the issues.”
