Cazayoux Hiding Behind a Curtain of Lies
Hiding from public forums, while using Special Interest Money to finance attacks
Yesterday, Rep. Cazayoux continued his refusal to attend public forums, while launching attack ads through TV and direct mail that lie about his opponents. As reported in today’s Advocate, “Cazayoux said he could not attend the forum because he had already scheduled another event in advance.” Earlier this week, after skipping another forum, Cazayoux’s campaign told the Baton Rouge Business Report, “it will be difficult to change our busy schedule to coordinate additional debates.” Don Cazayoux has lied about Bill Cassidy’s position on Social Security, but does not defend his lies in public. He refuses to attend a public forums where voters would have the chance to ask him about these lies or his own votes in Congress.
His campaign has been contacted by all of the following civic groups, and Don Cazayoux has refused to attend:
· AARP
· League of Women’s Voters
· West Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce
· People’s Voters League of Livingston Parish
· LSU Student Government
· Citizens for Highways and Infrastructure in Livingston Parish
· Southern University
· Baton Rouge Black Chamber of Commerce
Chris Ingram, a spokesman for the Bill Cassidy campaign, issued the following statement:
“Don Cazayoux is hiding behind a curtain of lies woven with the money of Special Interests PACs in Washington, DC. Cazayoux has only been a Congressman a few months and he is already avoiding the voters of Louisiana and financing his partisan attacks with out-of-state money.
Cazayoux’s hoping that if he spends enough money on a big enough lie, voters will believe it, but his DC consultants underestimate the intelligence of Louisiana voters.”
