Louisiana Senate President Joel Chaisson issued a proclamation calling a special election to fill the District 24 seat being vacated by Senator Don Cravins, Jr., who is leaving the state legislature to serve as director of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship in Washington, D.C. The primary election is set for Saturday, April 4, 2009, with the date for the general election scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2009. Qualifying for the District 24 seat begins at 8 a.m. Wednesday, February 11, 2009 and ends at 5 p.m. Friday, February 13, 2009.
