The Louisiana Weekly says, "No one - ever - has had to question where Cedric Richmond stands, and Southeast Louisiana cannot do without that surety as we fight for our survival"

In Gambit's endorsement, "the job of a congressman is to represent his or her district. We believe Richmond would do a better job - not because he is a Democrat, but because he already has more than a decade of success as a state lawmaker."

According to the New Orleans Tribune, "Every so often, a political candidate surfaces who provides the electorate with a clear choice as to who is best prepared to serve their needs as their elected representative. In the 2nd Congressional District, Cedric Richmond is clearly that choice."
