re: Sharon Hewitt says she'd work with Democrats as Louisiana governor

Made the comparison here before, but Louisiana's government has performed historically like a Les Miles offense. "Changing it" has involved changing from a toss dive left to a toss dive right. He had the best athletes (port, river, rail, etc.), and wasted them. LSU's national championship teams largely won on defense. Our best governor (Foster) really just prevented a quicker backslide (defense). Every offseason (election) we hear about how great next years' offense (governor) will be. Then it isn't.
We haven't added a congressional seat since 1913. Landry's congressional seat was the last one we lost.
Yes, Nelson is young and unknown, but so was Joe Brady. Nelson is an engineer, so he will dig into a problem beyond the first "why" to get to the root.
The tax plan is great. Solving problems with local dollars is the most efficient way. I compare it to pouring a beer. The closer your glass is to the bottle, the more efficiently it pours. If you try to pour from one foot above (the State level), you get off-target, splatter, and foam (waste/grift). The higher you get, the more waste.

No doubt Barry and Holder are dumping money into her campaign.
I’m not going to defend her “pledge”, but she is not taking money from Barack Obama and Eric Holder. That’s a baseless, asinine statement.

Landry is helping his trial lawyer buds kill O&G.
I don’t know if he’s trying (at least knowingly) to kill oil & gas, but he absolutely sided with John Bel Edwards and the trial lawyers on the coastal lawsuit “settlement” that will do nothing but put money in the pockets of those scum lawyers.
But you can’t tell the “Trump endorsed Landry so he must be the best” crowd.

I like Nelson and Schroeder.
Nelson is great on spending issues, and he has a real tax reform plan. With that said, I don't know if I trust him to actually "cut" taxes more so than simply shift them around to be "revenue neutral". Nelson is also not even remotely socially conservative, and believes that the governor's actions regarding Covid were justified.
There are no perfect candidates in this race, though I think Nelson might be the best one for real fiscal and structural change in this state. Landry is going to be your culture warrior, but I doubt his competence as well as his electability in a runoff. Schroeder seems pretty middle of the road conservative and competent. I don't see how he makes a runoff, but would be a solid choice if so.
