(KNOE) - Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser said he plans to run for Louisiana governor in 2023. There have been rumors that Nungesser will run for governor, but they were not confirmed until today, Aug. 9, 2022, during his visit to Lake Providence. “I am planning on running,” Nungesser said. “I want to get through the mid-term elections, and I’ve got a lot of work to do before the end of the year. And the minute I announce, I won’t be spending tax dollars advertising tourism with me.” Nungesser said he plans to hit the campaign trail in January 2023.
