Jeremy Alford covers the best (and the worst) in Louisiana politics and government through a Tuesday opinion column and a news aggregation item on Fridays. When he isn't fishing or managing his emotions during another New Orleans Pelicans season, he serves as the managing editor of LaPolitics Weekly, The Tracker and Beltway Beat. He is the author of “The Last Constitution” and co-authored “Long Shot: A Soldier, a Senator, a Serious Sin, an Epic Louisiana Election” and “The Party Is Over: The New Louisiana Politics.” His work has received support from the Pulitzer Prizes, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Center for Public Broadcasting.
