BREAKING NEWS: HEARING SET FOR INJUNCTION AGAINST GARRET GRAVES POLITICAL CONSULTANTS (Confirmed Sources)
WEDNESDAY, 9:30 AM, 19TH JDC JUDGE TIM KELLEY
NEWS RELEASE FROM FELDER CAMPAIGN ISSUED LAST WEEK
BATON ROUGE - Cassie Felder, a local business owner, attorney, and candidate for U.S. Representative in Louisiana’s 6th District, issued the following statement today regarding the injunction she filed against The Political Firm:
“Today I filed for injunctive relief against Jason Hebert and Scott Hobbs, demanding that they immediately cease their involvement in the Garret Graves for Congress campaign according to the terms of the contract they issued to me, to which we all agreed, and that we all signed. The contract includes a critical Non-Competition clause, without which no candidate with wisdom would have agreed to sign.
Their disregard for their own agreement and unilateral decision to compete against me in the same election and in direct violation of our contract, in no way relieves them of their obligations and duties under contract law and the fundamental principles of honesty, honor, and morality.
Louisiana politics has a reputation for being unethical and cut-throat. The actions of “The Political Firm” reinforce these negative perceptions about our state and its political culture. Changing this culture and image are two of my top priorities as a candidate for Congress.”
